Here goes another blog.
At one time thousands of blogs started every day. The web allows anyone with a computer to start one. While I have no illusions that mine will get read by more than by a handful of people, it will still be my attempt to establish my own little spot on the web. I am aware that my insights on anything are not any more profound or insightful than anyone else.
I am going to do what most bloggers do, which is write about what I like and find interesting even if I am writing on subjects many others have already written about. Although opinions about any variety of things are cheap, and as the cliche goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I am a sixty something male. I’ve come to notice that attitudes about various things tend to be linked to age and experience. Whether the things I write about will offer anything more than my own amusement will remain to be seen. My life experience is as unique as anyone’s and I’ll enjoy seeing if people stop by.
I intend to write about humanism, science fiction, Star Trek, politics and whatever else might prompt me. I’m a life long reader and consumer of science fiction books, movies and TV shows. Like many of my age I’ve read and seen a lot. I’ll offer my thoughts on the good, bad and ugly of it.
Welcome to “Notes Along The Way”.

Book Review: “The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives and Why the Church was Right All Along” by Jennifer Roback Morse
If you’re looking for something new in a discussion about sexuality and society, this is not it. If you’re looking for insight from the religious side that accepts that sexuality is a normal part of being human, this is not it. If you’re looking for a book that will look at sexuality from the…
Reality vs. Mythology
I like to read a broad spectrum of things. I’ll read news from a broad range of sites from reasonably non-partisan sites to very partisan ones. I also read from religious and free thought/atheist sites. I find it fascinating to see how different parts of the spectrum cover a story. It can be…
Humanists and Billboards
Essay on “Mornings with Carmen” on HOM Billboard By Scott Lohman A group I’m involved with, the Humanists of Minnesota, sponsored a number of billboards around the Minneapolis St. Paul area.

These are produced by the dozens each year by various pastors and right wing pundits. The quick and easy summary is this: “America has drifted/slid/fallen from the ideals of its…
Book Reviews
I’ll be reviewing a wide variety books. I read a broad spectrum of books from fiction, science fiction, religion and politics. I read books from people I agree with, learn from and disagree with. Reading across a spectrum can be fascinating and aggravating. It’s the best way to explore, learn and find things out. Enjoy.
