I played basketball this morning, as I do most Wednesday, but today was different. For the first time since I badly sprained my ankle, I played without the air cast! Wow! I was quite tentative at first, but gradually worked into playing at full speed. (Well, full speed for an older, fatter me…) So I…

A couple things recently have made me wonder about the future of our country. I know that I have a limited view, as I have only lived 31.5 years here (minus 3, actualy, since I was in Venezuela for 3 of those) and for most of that I was not really aware of the adult…

At the homeschool convention, in and empty corridor, I heard someone whistling behind me so I turned around to see who it was. I found a young girl not too far from me, and no one else. When I saw her, I thought, “Well, it couldn’t be her… she’s a girl.” It was then that…

I guess it happens every year here in the early years of a century, but today is perhaps a unique same-number day… 6-6-6 I think there’s even a new evil, scary movie with that title coming out today. There are lots of ideas as to what the number given in this verse mean, but I…

Our friend Joe has gotten himself a little traveling gig. He’s representing the Hampton Inn hotels as a “Bed Head”. 🙂 Pretty interesting. He’s the one pictured above. There are no movies of Joe’s BedHeadedness on the site yet, but I imagine there will be eventually. You can also enter to win a $5000 visa…

PALMYRA, NY – It was an exciting evening for residents of the Southwest 100 block of Canandaigua and Jackson streets in the village of Palmyra. A rabid racoon was terrorizing the neighborhood for a few hours this Sunday afternoon. “I saw him come across our neighbor’s yard,” explains local tax payer, Greg Campbell, “and kinda…

The 2005-2006 Buffalo Sabres season is over. They gave an extraordinarily valiant effort tonight in Raleigh, NC, but left the ice in defeat, 4-2. (Surprisingly, the score I predicted in a previous entry today…) But I would like to say, this is the best I have ever felt about a playoff defeat of any Buffalo…

I know, I know… it seems all I talk about these days is hockey. Well, it’s a lot of what we’re doing. Until the Western Conference Finals ended early, we were watching some hockey almost every night! Yippee!! It’s been great. And tonight, the Sabres are in game seven of the ECF. It’s down in…

One more thing to pass along here. We subscribe to a podcast called Vintage Toon Cast that offers free, public domain cartoons via the iTunes Music Store (or their website). The kids loved the old Superman series from the 40s. Well, I just saw the one from the 50s called Duck and Cover. An educational…

I don’t know if this is for real or not, but I saw it on a news post from CNET.com today (I think). Someone put together a little 10 question quiz that is somehow related to the US Citizenship Test? It was only 10 questions, so I thought I’d try. I got em all right!…
