The aforementioned Grey Boy is visiting from the cold, snowy mid-west, and we’re about to go to the birthplace of FDR! Also, I get a feeling that many of you are checking out for the holiday, so I’m doing a little “best of Christmas posts” post. These are my favorites from the last two years [...]

Raindrops on Roses and etc…
Happy winter solstice everyone! It’s the reason for the season, and it means from here on out, the days are only going to get longer! Praise! And in the spirit of the season of stuff, I want to share with you some of my favorite material possessions. These are on the wall of my living [...]

Blog posting fail!*
I love when I write a post I really like, (ie: the post right before this) but I also hate it. I put too much pressure on myself to follow up with something equally brilliant, at least in my mind. Nothing else that happened in the past few days was as interesting as running out [...]

When local businesses stay in business, it keeps downtown areas from developing blight, and [...]

to sleep, perchance to sleep
I was listening to my favorite nature program this morning, and today’s topic was hibernation. What a freaking beautiful concept. Hate the cold of winter? Just sleep it off. Never again worry about the hassles of migration, or foraging for scant food in the snow. Just sleep the winter away! I learned that during hibernation, [...]

seven things
Courtney tagged me for the “seven things” meme. I probably shouldn’t open the post that way, lest you say to yourself, “ick. a meme. I never read those masturbatory odes to oneself.“ But there’s no test at the end, so if you want to skip learning seven things about me, that’s cool. But before you [...]

I can keep ‘em coming all day
This. This is from Fail Blog. This also made me laugh. Out loud. I believe the kids call it “LOL.”
