I caught a cold from my son. He caught the cold from his father. It hasn’t been a great week. I actually had a fever yesterday. Today, I feel better and can breath through my nose again. And my energy...
Today was Free Comic Book Day!
We found out about this special day last year about an hour before the comic book store closed. When we went to the location on the website the store wasn’t there. It had moved...
Autumn loves to watch my videos of steam locomotives, and now she’ll walk up to the TV and point and say “wooo wooooooooooo” … so naturally we took her to the Roundhouse Railroad Museum in Savannah while we were here....
Let's see, who gets the link tonight? How about race42008.com? They are just pointing to CNN, though. Obama led the vote count throughout the day and had a 52.7 percent to 47.3 percent advantage over Clinton by late afternoon....
From the Stranger this week: "For some reason I never heard Shya—or anyone else I know from Seattle—say anything like "In Seattle I would never be attacked on public transportation" or "If we were in Seattle right now we would not...
Well, that seems to be what is in the media today. I would personally love to see the movie because I was a Marvel comics fanatic when I was a kid (no, …not DC…Marvel)

Ever since the writer’s strike ended and television started to go back to normal, we have been having a hard time getting our television routine. Or we just got so out of the habit of watching television and sticking to...
The next time you're feeling like a horrible mother, just go to McDonalds and watch the ladies give their 6-8 month old babies french fries, complete with catsup. The first time, I actually muttered "no way!" before I caught myself,...
The original A for the April NaBloPoMo project was posted here. I’m happy to replace that A with this one, since the do-over is from my neighborhood.

Yesterday our family took the bus downtown for the annual Armed Forces Day Parade. Fuller really got into the marching and drums.
I love that Chattanooga does this parade every year. The military is a big part of our lives,...
Upon the impulsive organization of the linens tonight I ran across a pillow case Grandma embroidered. She was excellent with a needle and thread. For years I secretly loved the girlie embroidered, but totally uncool to my friends,...
