Good Friday Spoiler Alert

Posted on March 29, 2013 by

Churchyard Chick, in her zig-zag ramblings, sometimes “overhears” things.  I wouldn’t necessarily say she eavesdrops; that would be rude, which is so unlike her.  It’s just that she stays “tuned in” just in case some interesting little kernel should come … Continue reading →

Jesus on Saturday Night Live

Posted on December 18, 2011 by

Last night, drifting in and out of sleep, I thought I saw Jesus on SNL.  Startled, I opened my eyes a bit wider.  Sure enough, there he was (a cast member disguised as him anyway).  What was he doing there?  He seemed … Continue reading →

One year ago today (I see from my unfinished drafts), I wrote this title.  When I clicked on, I saw only the title.  No notes.  No rough draft.  I saw nothing but the title, which made me reflect upon the reason I … Continue reading →

A bit sheepishly I confess that I was watching Ne Ne’s rant in The Donald’s boardroom when the news of an impending statement from the President scrolled across the bottom of the screen. “Perfect timing, Mr. President,” I thought.  “Just in time to preempt the firing.  … Continue reading →
