MidAmeriCon II: Dead Dog Reflections
This morning my Facebook gave me a memory post from last year which said: Off the cuff reflection on the Hugos: When those without power speak truth to those in power, it can be amazing exactly how childish those in power choose to be. I think it is a very good referential point to start … Continue reading MidAmeriCon II: Dead Dog Reflections
MidAmeriCon II
Interesting. I have lived in Kansas City since 1997. My wife first moved here in the 1980s. Until today neither of us had found reason to enter Bartle Hall. MidAmeriCon II changed that. It is our first SciFi convention we have attended. Both of us entered to pick up our badges and information packets. The … Continue reading MidAmeriCon II

A Blast of the Past #60:urban vegetable gardening
I think 2005 was one of the years I put more energy into the home garden. The inherited flower beds became definite vegetable gardens this year.

Weird Al Yankovic was in concert at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, so I went, equipped with ear plugs, and had a good time. My cultural references aren't that good, so I only recognized parts of the parodies, … Continue reading Being Weird with Weird Al
Fitness Update: Carelessness
I have seen a lot of talk on fitness sites and Facebook fitness posts about tracking and following and using this regimen or that. Discipline, discipline, discipline is the name of the game.

A Blast of the Past #58: A puzzling situation
One of the Christmas gifts is 2004 was this large puzzle. Here we have pictures of Nathan putting the whose thing together on the floor:
If/Then
Starlight Theatre is having a run of the musical "If/Then" this week. We went and saw it Tuesday night, the opening night. We began the evening with the Best of Broadway Applause dinner club. For once there was nothing to comment on, a little slow getting us our drinks at the beginning, but the food … Continue reading If/Then
#111: What Will You Do with Jesus?
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Jesus is standing in Pilate's hall -- Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all: Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call! What will you do with Jesus? CHORUS What will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be; Some day … Continue reading #111: What Will You Do with Jesus?
