The Be Good Tanyas

I just realized that I’ve used songs from The Be Good Tanyas for two of the last three Wordless Wednesday posts. It seems only fair to talk a little about this wonderful band. I use music with a lot of my posts for two reasons, one is to give people who are reading it a [...]

Science Tuesday: Chatty Redheads or Dirty Hands?

Neanderthals are our hominid relatives with whom we shared the Mediterranean region for several thousand years before began to be supplanted by modern man around 45,000 years ago and became extinct shortly thereafter. There are a number of questions regarding their fate, the biggest being why modern humans were ultimately more successful than neanderthals. Some [...]

Z’s Music Monday: Bob Dylan – “Highway 61 Revisited”

“When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez
And it’s Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don’t pull you through…”
Bob Dylan – “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blue’s”

How ’bout them Dawgs!

That is what I call showing up! Usually I’m pretty happy to listen to the games on the internet, but last night was the first time I really would have liked to be able to watch it on the TV. Even better would have been to be in the stands in Jacksonville at the World’s [...]

Bring me my boots and shoes
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
Sing a little bit of these workingman’s blues…”
-Bob Dylan – “Workingman’s Blues No. 2″
A couple of friends warned me that my political fervor would start to cool after having a child. I’m [...]

The Pharyngula mutating genre meme

I’ve been a blogger now for a few months and in that time I’ve discovered that the blogosphere is a strange and wonderful place – full of all sorts of things I never understood nor felt the need to know about. One of those was memes. I had only heard of this term from reading [...]

Another date with the dreaded orange…

…this week with more blue.
Yes, it is that time of year again. The last weekend in October, a date that Georgia Bulldogs’ fans look forward to each year with a mixture of hope (we could get them this year) and dread (they’ve beat us 15 of the last 17 times). It’s the weekend that thousands [...]
