I spent the first evening of my vacation trying to find Nathan's toon in Toontown. It didn't take too long, relatively, to find each other at the beginning, and then become "friends". But after that we tried to take over a two-story bossbot building, and after getting into the first floor, it announced a Legal … Continue reading Toontown Rewritten Together. Sort Of …

Almost Famous
Sarah is one unusual woman/person -- or perhaps, just perhaps, not so unusual about fame. It is a trap to many people who find it. Read her thoughts and think about it ....
Waiting for the rabbit
Last night we started hoping for the soon arrival of Google Fiber in our fiberhood more than ever. A thunderstorm started and our Clear.com modem was able to get the tower but not able to get the internet. Betsy had just really gotten into her play time on ToonTown Rewritten, and Nathan was counting down … Continue reading Waiting for the rabbit
Fireworks Photos
Today I am giving a large gallery of fireworks photos. Worlds of Fun had a good 20 minutes fireworks show. Then it took us 40 minutes to get out of the parking lot, 30 of them standing perfectly still in the same spot. Some people with SUV type vehicles started driving over the curb and … Continue reading Fireworks Photos
Mugshots of characters
This is an interesting attempt to use sims to create visuals of the characters in my wife’s current book-in-progress.
I still owe a few people book reviews, which I’ll try to get out in the next week, but I thought today I’d do something else today, once I finish battling with WordPress, which has changed its posting interface without notice. (Going through the Dashboard to create a post brings us back to the old posting interface).
Some time ago I Simmed all the main characters in my An & Mattan story (currently available unedited under “Writing” in the sidebar, if you can get through it). So, just for kicks, I’m going to show what the characters look like. Since I’m not one for making custom content, I’ve been stuck using whatever hair I can find, and sometimes I’m not too happy with what I come up with.
But anyway:
- An
Her picture turns out pretty well. She’s almost smiling (unlike most of the rest of the pictures, where my characters…

Cherry Cornbread Muffins
Okay, I've still got some cherries left, and need to do something with them. So last night I whipped up this improvised recipe of a plain blueberry muffin recipe. First, I checked the cupboard and noticed we were low on flour, but had cornmeal, so, I split the flour between the two. Second, I replaced … Continue reading Cherry Cornbread Muffins
How disaster-proof we aren’t
Disaster preparedness. Disaster can take so many forms. What sort of disasters do you prepare for, and in what way? How severe? Is there any way to be truly prepared? Based on your physical circumstance or political leanings, you can see the above questions differently. The reason I decided to write on this today is … Continue reading How disaster-proof we aren’t
Insider/Outsider mentality
In cleaning the basement this weekend I found three boxes of papers, pictures, certificates, trophies, etc. from my high school days. It brought back a lot of happy memories, but one particular piece of paper brought back other memories, a "dark side" to my school days that was seldom discussed -- or rather was discussed, … Continue reading Insider/Outsider mentality
Recipe improvisation
In a previous blog I mentioned picking my cherries off the Carmine Jewell Dwarf Cherry tree, hoping for some fresh eating cherries. But I found them slightly more tart than I expected, and so baked some of them into a fast fruit cobbler. Of course, I had to pit them, which took some time. Friday … Continue reading Recipe improvisation
A new wall, a clean basement, a new room…
This week I spent a vacation week painting a wall in the living room, and cleaning the basement. The painting is done, the basement is still a work in process, and has generated an entire new set of projects. As they know around this house, beware anytime I start moving furniture -- but we will … Continue reading A new wall, a clean basement, a new room…
