I finished a book, but not a book on my "to finish" list. I Don't Believe in Atheists by Chris Hedges It's a counter argument to stuff like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris that implies religion is just fanaticism and just stands in the way of societal and scientific progress. Hedges argument is people like Dawkins and Harris are just as fanatic as religious fundamentalist. He pretty much destroys their arguments within the first chapter, and then just goes on to expand on ideas for the rest of the book. I recommend it as well as The End of Faith by Sam Harris.

I have 2 and a half weeks of this whole mustache thing to go. Mustaches vs Cancer I feel quite ridiculous and we've decided that I'm Ron Burgundy anytime I go out in public. My poor wife has to wake up next to me daily, and yet she's still home when I get there, she's pretty much my hero for putting up with so many of my shenanigans.

I've done an Alzheimer's charity and now a children's cancer charity I think next is going to be something related to helping animals. So if anyone knows of a good thing in that area please drop me a note.

I miss shows. I miss driving to Cleveland, getting lost, getting assaulted by drifters, standing outside some venue in the freezing cold, and then having the time of your life for 4 hours. I miss playing shows.

In other important news Christmas Ale is out now and I have a 6 pack for this weekend! That makes me a happy happy kid.
