Visitor

We’re near the end of a visit from GD2.  It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m a little tired.  I’ve visited the Detroit Zoo, the Henry Ford Museum, and we even spent some time picking up sitcks from the yard.  We’re meeting her parents to return her today, but she’ll be back soon. I’ll …

Not so Wordless Wednesday

OK, another post from the treasure trove of photos of me, myself, and I. I will be including other family members as I go along, but I’m a first child, and most of them are me, me, me. Over on an e-mail list I read, this is called “shameless self promotion”, SSP. Shay-Ron over at …

Look at the Sun Shine!

The crappy stock market, my horrible sinus headache, the dust, none of it could out-do the sun this morning.  It’s pretty darn cold outside, but the sun is shinning in (and showing the dust!) The outside of the bathroom door is painted, first coat.  The wash is started, the garbage and recycling at the curb, …

I pulled the last of my unentered genealogy data out of it’s hiding places and piled it on my desk this morning. The pile is about seven inches high. When I made my New Years resolution to get this done, the pile was bigger. That big red accordion folder which was inside the file box …

Doin’ Anything?

S-Dad passed on a book of photos that Mom had saved for me, or for herself, or whatever. There aren’t a lot, …

It Was a Weekend

Friday was pretty nice, so I painted. I’m working on the bathroom, trying to get a little paint to drag me out of the winter doldrums. The Wings won, life was good. Saturday came, and Papa and I went to the home improvement big box store. We didn’t find what we wanted, but bought a …

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 …
