Nana and The Kids I can’t help it… Since Heather’s not posting it, I’m gonna do it. Here’s my grandmother trying to keep a grip on her great-grandchildren. Have they no respect for their elders? (There are a couple more, but this is my favorite… it’s a kid-splosion!) I love how Brian looks like he’s […]

Cooking Shows That Don’t Suck
This Salon article on cooking shows was entertaining, and I can’t agree more with their take on Good Eats, but I think they missed one: Molto Mario. In 24 minutes, Mario can make you believe you can create good Italian home-cooking, and he’s right. He gives you the basics, and the tools for doing pretty […]
My Family
My Family Here they are… my family. Aren’t they gorgeous? My sister took a bunch of portrait stuff over the weekend, and this is my favorite of all of them (there’s another of my grandmother trying to hold Max, Sam and Brian that’s also a keeper).
Straight Talk from the Heartland
I really don’t want to write this, but I said I would. I read Ed Schultz’s Straight Talk from the Heartland over the past week or so. I was expecting a lot from this book, probably unfairly. Ed Schultz is a talk radio guy from North Dakota, and is apparently a rising star in the […]
Eels, Dogs and Buffalo Boots – Oh My!
Pain sucks. New music doesn’t. Here are some mini-reviews to keep you happy until the pain goes away and I can think up something worth posting: Eels: Shootenanny! – Wow.

Busily Being Busy
Blah, blah, blah… I’ve been busy. I’ve been writing lessons for the class (which is going swimmingly so far), working on a new top secret personal project, a top secret work project, and throwing my shoulder out of socket (no idea how or when I did it, but man, does it hurt).\ Life is good, […]
Beautiful Font For FREE!
Goodness, it’s purdy. I may just use it for nefarious purposes: Typeface Of The Year
Proud Like a Parent
One of my the students in my class has set up Movable Type on her own domain and is now blogging!! I’m so proud… I feel like my kid has just started riding his bike without training wheels or something. Ok, without further ado, here she is: ..:WabeSabe:… Godspeed, little blogger!
Winston the Badass
Winston the Badass We went to the National Firearms Museum (it’s weird) on Saturday. I knew Winston Churchill was cool and all, but a badass? I never knew!
Free or Rich
I was reading The True Story of Audion this morning, and this quote just leapt out at me: The lesson? It seems you can either be free to do anything you want, to create anything you dream of without answering to anyone, or you can be rich. You’re not likely to be both. I’m not […]
