We just returned from what we hope is the resumption of our yearly treks to Ahsland Oregon for the great Shakespeare Festival therein. These trips were interrupted by parenthood, but now that erin is of an age and inclination, we want to make this a regular pilgrimage once again.
It was amazingly gratifying to [...]
I have re-joined the ranks of the proletariat. That means I got a regular job. Monday through Friday, I am now a graphic artist at the Peninsula Daily News, our local newspaper. For those of you concerned about Susan’s “End of the World” post, this is what she was talking about. Her husband won’t [...]
… Or any of the major family holidays.
This post is for suggestions on how to reduce the stress that many of us feel around this time of year, and perhaps re-capture an appreciation of the things that are good about it. I’m using Christmas in my examples, but feel free to apply this [...]
So I’m on my way to bed last night. I went out to the carport to get my ipod and I look up and surprise a family of deer. A buck, a doe and two fauns are investigating our “garden” (mostly weeds at the moment). They looked up at me, but didn’t bolt. I [...]

Our minister has left for greener pastures (I can’t blame him). And our student attendance is so low that most week-ends, only my [...]
The Barbershop Harmony Society has a collection of 12 standards that are collectively called the BarberPole Cat tunes. In theory, if you are a BHS member from a Swedish chapter, you could visit a chapter in Japan and be able to sing any of these songs with the local members. I say in [...]
Well, after a year or so on Live Journal, I’m back to WordPress. I have had my own hosting for some time, but hadn’t really looked into what WordPress can do when you’re not using an account at wordpress.com. It’s pretty nifty. The editor is far more seamless; it’s a jillion times more customizable, [...]
I just got an invitation from a friend to go play ping pong with him this afternoon at the Senior Center.
The saddest part is, I’ll probably go.
