Almost Finished!
Well, I’ve been busy. After my day at the Library of Michigan Wednesday, I spent Thursday playing catch up. I’m not there, but almost. I spend some time in the yard, finally! It sure felt good to be outside. I raked one of the ditches near the street and hauled the leaves to the still …

Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis
Papa and I had a wonderful time yesterday at our friend Jimmy’s benefit show, Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis. So wonderful, I took a great nap after we got home this afternoon.

Saturday is Right Around the Corner
There are a bunch of options for bluegrass in the D this weekend. After careful consideration, Papa and I have decieded to head down to the Huron Valley Eagles and see B0 and John and ’em. We’ve seen Bo sing quite a bit, but this will be the first time we’ve seen this group. Bo …

Twitter in Plain English
You all know by now that I’m a big fan of Lee LeFever, and his product, explanation. Common Craft is GOOD at explanation. Here’s their latest: There, since you’ve learned something today, you can take the rest of the day off.

Sixty-Four or One-Twenty-eight?
I read a few tech columns and blogs, but not enough so you would mistake me for a technology wiz, or even someone with more than basic knowledge of “How stuff works”. Today, however, a headine in my reader caught my eye, and I didn’t mark the item as “read”, I actually read the darn …
