As we head into a holiday weekend, memories of some fun at the amusement park.
Starlight Theatre: Decent Show, dining staff underwhelms with lack of service
It is obvious that no one at Starlight Theatre paid attention to my previous comments about the quality of their Applause Club dining plan. We found ourselves underwhelmed Tuesday when attending the Best of Broadway dining prior to Bullets over Broadway, which was a decrease in how whelmed we were from dining at Matilda. We … Continue reading Starlight Theatre: Decent Show, dining staff underwhelms with lack of service

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 One day when heaven was filled with his praises, One hday when sin was a black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin, Dwelt among men -- my example is He! CHORUS … Continue reading #103: One Day!
Sweet Treat
Today's post follows up on comments about fruit from Friday. Here are a few photos of the blackberries we picked -- a mere bowlful, and the ice cream we served them over.
Fitness Log: Swim Meet Week
Well, last week upended many of my regular workout patterns, but didn't eliminate my fitness regimen entirely. I was at the Gladstone Natatorium Monday-Thursday for the Corporate Challenge Swim meet. This meant I curtailed my running. I'm never sure how much energy I should be expending in other activities to preserve the energy I need … Continue reading Fitness Log: Swim Meet Week

Ignorance of the Law is no Excuse

Since I am my company's swim meet coordinator, I was there every evening from 5 p.m. to end. Since the Natatorium is only 5.5 miles from home, I rode my bicycle there each evening. Motor vehicle drivers react … Continue reading Ignorance of the Law is no Excuse
A Blast of the Past #53: home-grown fruit
Today's post has an interesting synchronicity (wonder if I am using that word right). You see, the pictures in today's blast include strawberries that we picked from our own plants back in 2002. This year, different house, we still have strawberry plants, but didn't manage to harvest the few strawberries on them before nature helped … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #53: home-grown fruit
Hugo Awards: Voting for Best Short Story
Okay, the nominees for all the Hugo categories were announced awhile ago, but those of us who have paid our membership dues to be able to vote only recently got our voters packets. Those packets have samples or entire copies of the works in question, so we can read and compare and decide what we … Continue reading Hugo Awards: Voting for Best Short Story
#101: Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne And Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me; But it Bethlehem's home Was there found no room For Thy holy nativity.
