Revelation!

I fixed the RSS feeds. I got spam. 100% correlation. So, the RSS feed that enables me to let the world know I’m wasting time writing for my own satisfaction, and pretending that someone wants to read it, also makes it possible for the cyber-world slimeballs to attempt to use my resources to spread their …

Nature’s Wonders

We traveled “up north” over the holiday.  Driving from one country cemetery to another, on an old two-track we saw a flash as a deer jumped off the road in front of us.  Just ahead, in the road lay an new fawn.  Papa came to a stop as the fawn struggled to it’s feet and …

Lost, the LIST

This is a real problem, I have some shopping to do, and my list is not in my purse.  Really, it’s nowhere that I can see.  I have my “to do” list, it’s right on my desk.  But, the shopping list traveled with me yesterday, and is now MIA.  Whenever I can’t find something, I remember …

Fix it?

I’d love to fix the rss feed and customize the presentation of this blog. I’ll do that when everything else is done, in 100 years or so. The feed got screwed up when I upgraded to 2.2. I also lost my theme and all my widgets, like MyBlogLog. I guess I should have addressed those …

Another Monday

Monday again.  Thanks to help from all, the yard is looking pretty good.  I’m going to need roller skates to make it through this week, but waiting at the end is the West Michigan Bluegrass Association Mayfest.  We’re taking GS3 and his sisters, GD1 and GD2.  It should be fun for all of us, and …

Staying Home

For the last several years we have attended the Lewis Family Festival in Lincolnton, Georgia during this week before Mother’s Day.  This year, we’re staying home.  Mom just got out of the hospital after almost two weeks.  She’s at a nursing home/rehab facility near here.  I think I can ride my bike up there, I’ll probably …

Lose a phone lately?

Granny’s home has the usual utilities, electricity, natural gas, water, and some others, satallite radio and TV, land-line phone and DSL. We also have cell phones. On Saturday, during the amazing presentation of “Go Diego, Go Live”, I lost my cell phone. It was in my pocket early in the show, I used it to …

The Lost is found

Last fall, I hauled out a cool game that I remembered from my youth, so I could enjoy it wth GD1.  She had great small muscle coordination, but she couldn’t manage both the ball and the jacks at that time.  I put it away after she left, but one of the 10 jacks was missing. Oh …

List — or Lists?

Last night, as the troops were helping me with the dishes, I said that something needed to be put on the list.  A family member said, “You’re always putting something on a list”.  That was a correct statement. When I worked, I kept complicated project plans, with date assumptions, and other frightening things.  Now that …

New Pictures

Papa has been taking a lot of photos lately, and I’ve not done too well at posting them for the world to see.  We recently attended a wonderful festival hosted by Joe Mullins, the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival.  The photographs of the bands onstage are posted here.  Rhonda Vincent, Bobby Osborne, The Hart brothers, David …
