Why I’m raising my kids in a faithless (but not Godless) home.
Melanie’s comment on yesterday’s entry got my brain a-going. If this whole thing makes you weirdly uncomfortable, it’s cool. Go watch WwT instead. She’s super-cute, and I’m okay with the idea that not everyone wants to discuss (or read about) religious/spiritual stuff.
Now on to the point, Bill and I were both raised in Christian homes. [...]
Me and Christianity.
As long-time readers already know, I’m a practicing Hindu. (No, I don’t wear saris or bindis, but mostly because Westerners who do so always come off like pretentious assholes or wannabes, IMO. If I thought I could get away with it, I would rock saris every day of my life.) My faith is my own, [...]

I thought about making an exception and posting ten positive things, but then I realized that I wanted to delve into some of these things more deeply than I normally would in an aside. But I’m [...]
Something I wonder about sometimes.

Random is good.
I know that my randomness is something that some people love about me. Those are the people who call it randomness, instead of ADD. I love them back. Now on to the post…
I want to talk about my ideas about losing weight, and some things I’ve been turning over in my head. However, I don’t [...]
Back in the olden days…
…when I started blogging, I had a purpose for doing so. Way back in 2004, if you can even remember so long ago, you whippersnappers, when I was introduced to blogging by my little sister, I thought blogging was the neatest thing ever. I had at last found a forum for my thoughts that didn’t [...]
