One of the things from my own youth was a Betty Crocker cookbook for children. It had a macaroni and cheese with hot dogs recipe, and it had a castle cake that we made once for a birthday. With that memory in mind, I resurrected the plan for by daughter's fourth birthday. Only this time … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #42:Fourth Birthday

A Blast of the Past #41: First Christmas in First House
If you look at things the right way, there are a lot of firsts in life. As a side joke, I'll mention Jonas Quinn from Stargate: SG-1 who always smiled at everything because it was his first time. One time he was captured by the Goa'uld with his team, and they asked him why he … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #41: First Christmas in First House
Songflower concert Sunday, April 3
Today's post is a promo for the singing group I'm newly joined. Sunday is my first concert with the group. I got recruited because of my experience with Madrigals -- the concert is one of Jazz and Madrigals. It is a wonderfully eclectic mix of some of the hottest sets both old and new. See … Continue reading Songflower concert Sunday, April 3
Easter Egg Bonanza
Here is a set of eggs colored and drawn by my daughter this year. The figures are Armless Bipedal Cycloptic Demons, or ABCDs. The ABCDs were created initially as part of an online project by the Talkhaus online gaming community for an event they titled A Super Mario Things (ASMT for short). Carly drew several of … Continue reading Easter Egg Bonanza

The first clip is actually from our Maundy Thursday church cantata. My son is the narrator, and the choir sings under the direction … Continue reading The Lord Is Risen!
Miracle on 34th Street
The day before Easter seems an odd time to do a post on a Christmas movie. But this is the time the DVD came from the library from my hold request I put in back in November. Unfortunately, or so I thought at first, it turned out to be the 1994 remake and not the original … Continue reading Miracle on 34th Street
A Blast of the Past #40: Thanksgiving 2000
My side of the family gets together every few years for Thanksgiving. It is our holiday to share from where we've been spread across the U.S. When it first started, I thought it was supposed to be every three years, but somewhere along the line that was changed and some people insist it was always … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #40: Thanksgiving 2000
The War on Boys
(I found this interesting ... and something faster to put up than my intended article on the false dichotomy of the alpha/beta male syndrome -- I'll have to save that for later.)

I know, twice in one week, do a shared post, unheard of by me. But I thought this one silly. The shared blog below shows that some people are afraid of being nominated by anyone who is in any way associated with the "Sad Puppy" movement. They are telling people they aren't allowed to nominate … Continue reading If I don’t want you to like me, then you can’t ….
The List
More thoughts on this one later -- expect to write variations on this theme -- but putting it up here now as reference for future comment....
