But when I went to Google Maps I noticed that the new changes to the Worlds of Fun entrance are not on there. And the Worlds of Fun official site uses … Continue reading Some (un)official attractions at Worlds of Fun

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.

Cedar Point was another destination on our 2008 tour. We had a lot of fun, in both the water and amusement park sections. but we came back with very few pictures.

That Darn Cat!
Spent the evening after work swimming at Oceans of Fun. The wave-pool there has a 10-minute song cycle while the waves are running. Why am I mentioning that with a title "That Darn Cat!"? Because after the park closed, we came home and started watching the classic Disney movie -- which has a whole surfing … Continue reading That Darn Cat!

A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
Today's post is a milestone of pictures. Been reflecting back through pictures for quite awhile to get to 100. So it seems appropriate that this milestone should feature something as important as a meeting of two Lightfoot branches. In the summer of 2008 the New York and Missouri branches met in Ohio. We stayed in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
