I’m still without my laptop, but I have my phone and the inconvenient computer in the family room. So today, you see what we do on Thursday. (Yes, it looks like a simple, quick blog post. But with this hand-crank computer, it took an hour to get the photos resized and uploaded, in which time […]

I am currently without a laptop because my case broke and we’re sending it in for a replacement. That makes blogging (and schooling, bill paying, etc) difficult. So you get what you get. You get good doggies! I hate those stupid elves. You also get one smart chick, er turkey. I want someone to try […]

Last night, the Leonid meteor shower peaked. Despite being bone tired, I duly set my alarm for 1 a.m. But at 1 a.m., that part of my brain that would really like just five minutes of peace and a good night sleep for once, dangit, said, “Don’t you dare.” So I didn’t. There should be […]

There are two ways to deal with a cold Monday, a broken computer, a sick husband, and the general presence of grumpiness. The first: Or this: Just dance, people. It’ll warm you up!

Astronomy is one of our family’s hobbies, and tonight we’re going star watching with a group of middle school students. I thought I’d share some of the resources we’ll be using to take them on a tour of the night sky and sky-watching tools in general. (Note: if I don’t post after this, know that […]

My friend Erika Franz tipped me off to this amazing video series, C.S. Lewis Doodle. (The embedding feature is disabled, but do check it out.) I haven’t watched them all yet, but I’m impressed with with what I’ve seen so far in the two from The Screwtape Letters. Those videos use the amazing radio theater […]

Are you a fox or a hedgehog? A fox knows many things and a hedgehog knows one thing well. My grandfather was a foxy hedgehog. Or maybe a hedgehoggy fox. He had a wide variety of hobbies and interest, and he did them all well. He was a photographer, a genealogist, a gardener, a collector […]

I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for the military family reunion videos. I tear up every time. One of my most vivid memories is of my brother holding his six-week-old daughter for the first time. If for no other reason than the fact that they are separated from their family and friends in order to […]
