Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

Muppets: Luck of the Irish
I decided to do a Muppet-themed blog today. Ran into both of these today while surfing the internet.

A Blast of the Past #135: Pokemon
This was one of the simplest yet most easily recognizable birthday themes we did over the years. Making a Pokeball cake and Pokeball cupcakes was very simple. That we found some Pokemon crepe paper ribbon on sale was a lucky extra find to make everything work together.
