…. You may have noticed my posting has slowed a bit. I’m making it official, so that I don’t feel the pressure to try to put something up every day; this is the time of year when my grading all starts coming in at once, and won’t stop until mid-May. So I need extra time …

Well, Dammit.
I had quite a different post ready to share with you today. You see, I had very recently googled “cuttlefish” (yes, ego-surfing. Sue me.) and found that, miracle of miracles, I was listed ahead of Answers in Genesis. (For context, see this early post where I first noticed how high AiG is on the list …

In Sincere Appreciation Of My Readers

A man once told me that he believed Because he was playing the odds. “Blaise”, I replied, “Take a look over here At a site called ‘A Million Gods’. You may think, by believing, it’s great if you win, And there isn’t much chance you could lose– But faced with a million and quite a …
