Contextless Thoughts ™

What is it that Democrats see in Hillary Clinton? If she wins the primary, she will will unite the Republicans in a way that James Dobson could only dream of. Speaking of the religious right, I wonder what would happen if a strong evangelical presidential candidate who shared their values and happened to be a [...]

Should J.P. be fired?

The National Post has a good story on the job (both good and bad) that J.P. Riccardi has done as the General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. The team is as mediocre as always but it has had a lot of injuries this year. At the same time the team played better when the [...]

Prince of Peace – God of War

John Campea’s movie, Prince of Peace – God of War is now out and getting some good reviews from the film festivals. Yes I am in it and no I haven’t seen my part yet… I hate the sound of my voice so I will see if I can get a special director’s cut without [...]

Brian McLaren in Ottawa

The Ottawa Citizen’s story on Brian McLaren speaking in Ottawa to the Anglican church. Can Brian McLaren heal the fractured Anglican church with a new vision of Christianity for the 21st century? The balding, bespectacled baby boomer is one of the leading lights in a new Christian movement: church without speeches, rules, robes — sometimes [...]

Dear Ronald McDonald

We’re done. Kaput. Finished. I will never eat at one of your restaurants again. I had a splitting headache today and instead of eating much, I took some Advil and waited for the pain to go away. About the time it did, it was time to go to work at midnight and since McDonald’s is [...]

Graveyard

With us being short staffed at work, I have been working graveyards on the weekends. I don’t mind them but I often get off work at Thursday at midnight and then start work Saturday at midnight which means my “day off” is only 24 hours long but I get that back during the week with [...]

Where the Emerging Church in the U.K. is going

I guess I could comment on Mark Driscoll’s latest podcast but I would rather point you to this article by Ian Moseby on where the emerging church in the U.K. is headed. Social Capital – The greatest challenge to emerging churches in the UK is human-power to sustain projects and initiatives. Due to changes in [...]

Big Box Pawn Shop

To make a long story short, we lost the battery charger for the camcorder which I want to take to Soularize so I can videotape people swimming with man-eating sharks (Spencer tells me this is safe). After thinking about getting a cheap Aiptek camera (won’t ship to Canada or even accept a Canadian billing address) [...]

As if it isn’t hard enough being a Dolphin’s fan

In case 0-3 and Ted Ginn Jr. wasn’t bad enough. Here is the Dophin’s rapping to “Can’t Touch This”.

That Sunday morning feeling

Wendy and I have actually had this conversation.

Maggi while the Blue Jays played the Yankees

She wasn’t as into the game as I was.

Another impact of global warming

that we don’t hear a lot about. Ocean acidification. The Washington Post on the same topic back in 2006.
