My growing garden wish list
First and foremost on my list is to extend our patio to the back gate. Of course, that’s not technically a garden, but it is an outdoor project. But after that, I have long wanted a rain barrel. Several actually. Five, to be exact. (Maybe six.) These guys make it look easy: They’re kind of […]

Costs, benefits, and private parts
*Disclaimer, some of this post talks about medical exams on female genitalia. If that’s gonna bother you, go check out this post. No hoohas there. Yesterday, I came across an article on a study by the Annals of Internal Medicine on the efficacy — or lack there of — of routine pelvic exams. The study […]

Terrible Tuesday: Texas bound!
Kentucky is seriously giving Texas a run for it’s money for the friendliest people in the country, but there’s no place like home! To Texas! I’m 92% Texan, but only because I don’t drink my iced tea sweet. I gave up drinking any sugar that isn’t fermented. For the road trip, a new Strange World’s […]

Lovely Louisville
I think I figured out how to properly say Louisville like a native: shove three marshmallows in your mouth and say it. Unfortunately, I don’t generally have marshmallows with me. But despite the difficulty with the name, we loved the little of Louisville that we saw. The people were awesome, and the area along the […]

Bone tired and ready to play
The National Right to Life Convention wrapped up yesterday and we got everything on the truck by 1 a.m. It was wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting some very cool new people as well as some heroes of the pro-life movement. But we worked hard, and I’m weary beyond belief. It’s obviously time to […]

Fine Arts Friday: Kentucky edition
We’re still in Louisville, so I thought I’d do a Kentucky-themed folk song (and the state song), “My Old Kentucky Home.” Frederick Douglass once said the song awakened “the sympathies for the slave, in which anti-slavery principles take root and flourish.” It’s striking that in 1852 a song that rather mildly suggests that the lives […]

In praise of duct tape
or duck tape, if you prefer. Last year, Sprite got on a duct-tape creating kick. While she mostly reverted to yarn-art, she still makes flowers, wallets, purses or even kindle cases from time to time. Duct tape creativity can even earn some young whippersnapper a scholarship, and you can vote for the winner. This is […]

Tragedy
Four years of faithful service ended when Bulldozer stepped on the back of my shoe as I was walking away. Farewell, old friends. I’ll often ask, “Where are my shoes?”, but it will no longer be about you. Therefore, generico levitra on line they can reduce shedding, moisturize dry coat and heal flaking skin. A […]

Terrible Tuesday: 847 miles to Louisville
Traveling links! 1984 was a big year in cinematic history. I was 10, so I only saw Star Trek and Karate Kid. (Plus the movie we agreed to pretend didn’t happen: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.) Leawood, Kansas: on the front lines protecting the citizenry against 9-year-olds and their evil agenda of literacy […]
