Now that I have most of my materials, I set about actually making the costume. The first part is the belt. You’ll notice in the pictures, Cap’s WW2 outfit has a lot of ammo pouches and little compartments. I decided...
One of the things I feared when I was getting ready for my Orlando trip was tiring out from walking from hotel to hotel. I remembered my trip to Vegas last year and how sore and tired I was from...
The campaigns, 527s, news channels, volunteers and comedians have been spewing video like an open hydrant lately and I’m going to try to round up the last week’s worth here (wish me luck!).

I recently realized that most of my posts lately have been about the challenging aspects of my child, and that I've spent very little time talking about the good stuff. I've had uninterrupted sleep all week, so I'm in the...
When I was pregnant with Fuller, I was unprepared for the questions many people would have about our choices as parents. The one that bugged me the most was “are you going to find out if it is a boy...
Whew, got a call from a publisher today. This stuff is too technical. I've got to get a literary agent. Anybody know any? Drop me a line abradley at acton.org....
Evidently McCain, you know the one with all the experience, doesn’t know Spain is in Europe. His comments on a Miami radio show yesterday seem to suggest he thinks it is part of Latin America. A scary, senior...
On my way out the door and heading to Tempe, Arizona.
Bulldogs vs Sun Devils
I sure hope we can play better against them than we played against South Carolina. And if we were to lose to ASU how long and miserable...

Last night I called my cousin Ruthie and was asked if I was still at "that bed and breakfast in London" since that was when last my loyal audience heard from me. A better question would have been "did you...
Well, I've got the fever...not spring but fall!I've been tossin' out almost everything not nailed down! I've divided everything into three piles: give (to some lucky/unlucky recipient...there's a ton in your pile, Jen!), toss (broken stuff/junk), and donate/sell (goodwill/JBF). ...
After all of this canning/preserving fruits, painting furniture, and all-out Fall house-cleaning, my hands really do look like they need a manicure. And of course, I don't really dwell on it until we're headed out somewhere! (Shocking...I know...but...
Okay, I absolutely love this new Blogger function under "Blogs I'm following"! However, I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something that I should be doing.I've listed the blogs that I follow, and I'm wondering if there's something that...
I’ve never voted for either of our Republican Senators in the do-nothing Congress, but I’m a sucker for smart political compromises. As members of the bipartisan Gang of 10, Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander are working on the New Energy...

I've been looking for a better shell for a long time. My day-to-day work is all in emacs, and using M-x shell to work gave me a taste of the good life: shell and editing all sharing history together....
It is pure joy to my person when one of my children excitedly runs into the house and with great enthusiasm spouts, "IF YOU WANNA TAKE A PICTURE OF THE CRAZY-BIGGEST SPIDER I'VE EVER SEEN, GET YOUR CAMERA--NOW!!!".
