Okay, power outage of 42 hours ended yesterday evening, and so my plan for another installment of the Cedar Fair tour is being delayed. Instead, a short commentary on some of my recent electrical experiences. First, our power outage. Started at 10:20 p.m. Saturday, and ended around 4:20 p.m. Monday. 42 hours without power. During … Continue reading Electric outages; Electric street cars
Fitness Update: Powerless
Okay, how does one keep fit while the temperatures are over 100 and the electricity is out? Okay, that is only 2 days out of the past week. But those days delayed my writing of this blog. They also got us to do more swimming at Oceans of Fun. Or at least floating. Staying fit … Continue reading Fitness Update: Powerless
#212: Nothing But the Blood
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again?

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure
Michigan’s Adventure was perhaps the nicest park, as a total package, to be able to go to and enjoy in one day. Not that it had any points that were specifically better than any of the other parks, but it was put together in such an easy and enjoyable way. But I am going to … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Dominion
After our sojourn to LibertyCon 2017, the family started our second sojourn of the summer: a tour of Cedar Fair amusement parks. We began the tour in Virginia with King’s Dominion amusement park, Doswell, VA. We traveled to King’s Dominion on Monday, July 3, getting to the park for the first time during the early … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Dominion
Fitness Update: end of vegging
Another week in the car or roaming amusement parks. The activity of the parks does not counterbalance the inactivity of the car -- not even with the occasional leisurely run factored into the mix. When I got back to the scale at the work wellness center, I found my 2.5 weeks away included a 5 … Continue reading Fitness Update: end of vegging

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
