Originally intended as a family blog it is now a more extended family place for civil discussions of religion and politics – you know those things we shouldn’t talk about and need to. It is also a free forum for any and all ideas included recent cat stories. Please share and comment as you see fit. You may contact me at hughdrennan@gmail.com to ask for writing privileges.
