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…
Personal
Whistling…
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…
6-6-6
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…
Bed Head
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…
Rabid Racoon Terroizes Palmyra Residents
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…
Nothing To Be Ashamed Of
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…
Hockey On The Mind
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…
Duck And Cover
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…
US Citizenship Test
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!…
Yes!
Daniel Briere, the short, shifty little French Canadian with the soft hands got a wrist shot to flip up over Carolina goalie Cam Ward and just barely cross the goal line a few minutes into overtime on Tuesday night, and the Sabres are headed to Carolina for Game Seven on Thursday night! The Sabres are…
