Today's post starts with the perils of our dog, Rocky, who has been limping since we got home since the day we returned from LibertyCon. Since we worked all the days in between, we didn't get him to the veterinarian until today. The Vet said something was wrong with a right rear toe, and needed … Continue reading Of dogs, toes and tempers

Saturday/Weekend After Report
Summer is over, socially. Labor Day Weekend marks the social end of summer. So I thought today I would rehash the weekend. Saturday We started our celebration of the weekend at Worlds of Fun.

Cedar Fair Tour: Worlds of Fun — Coming Home
We did a half-tour of the Cedar Fair Parks; I blogged about the visits, and about the parks in comparison. Now I feel a need to blog about home, about Worlds of Fun.

Price Point
Okay, today's column is on informal economics. At what price will we decide that a purchase is worth going for? Retailers are doing this all the time. It even gets discussed about the pricing of ebooks. At what price will you not buy the ebook but the hard copy or no book at all? What … Continue reading Price Point
Oceans of Fun opens for season
Family tradition, though I think we might have missed last year, is being at the gate of Oceans of Fun at opening time on opening day. One year we even got on the Oceans of Fun blog/Facebook page (something like that/one of those things) with our pictures and comments. (I think that was Betsy and … Continue reading Oceans of Fun opens for season
