It’s just fun to put that in print! 07.07.07. We are planning to meet with some friends at Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, OH today – an awesome ice cream (but so much more!) place in the land of my birth – and originally, thought it would be fun to meet at 7:07pm on…

Ice Cream Update
As you know from previous entries, July is national ice cream month, and we’ve been doing our part to celebrate that! Here’s a quick run-down on the month so far. July 1 – We made home made ice cream with friends (Philadelphia-style Vanilla, and Strawberry Sherbet) 7/2 – Made some more home made ice cream,…
Wolverines
“Local legend says that the Wolverine is a cross between a bear and a wolf. But in reality, it’s aHUGE WEASEL.” (We heard that on the Animal Planet’s “Planet Earth” tonight. Thought it was pretty accurate…) ;-)
Optical Illusions
After first-hand viewing of a cool optical illusion of the summer moon, I got this in my e-mail today from my Dad. (He likes to forward stuff… this one’s pretty cool…) :-) The instructions in the e-mail were as follows: If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain…
Chill & Grill x2
Our friend Chi reminded me that I never shared the story of another “food fest” day (with food (mostly) provided by Chill & Grill) just a couple weeks ago. June 16th, I believe. It was certainly akin to FOOD FEST I, detailed below. The Chis arrived in time for lunch, so they got their pugs…
Food Fest I
Yes, I know yesterday was Canada Day (I believe it is “observed” today), but I believe that July 1st may now become the official day of FOOD FEST. Some have called it Eat Fest, and yesterday I first thought it could be called GlutFest (as in “gluttonous”) but I think I have settled on FOOD…
National Ice Cream Month!

Flag Day Cookies…
I meant to post this shortly after Flag Day… but… didn’t. So, here you go! Hope you had a great Flag Day!(June 14th, by the way…):-)
Church Ball
This past week I happened to see a movie called Church Ball come across my NetFlix new release feed. The title alone is pretty funny, but the description was even more intriguing: Fred Willard stars as a bishop intent on pulling together a winning team for his soon-to-disappear church basketball league in this comedy from…
FLAG DAY!
When I was a kid, I thought I had discovered Flag Day – June 14th – when I first saw it on my calendar. Every year since then (I was probably Ian’s age…) I have made a point to celebrate it in some way. We have no official plans, except a little kidless excursion in…
