The First Snow-Fall

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:41:50 +0000

It snowed today. Big, wet, beautiful, white, flakes. The kind that stick to your coat and catch in your eyelashes. Like soft wet tufts of cotton candy drifting on the breeze. The kids got bundled up and enjoyed playing in what little bit was sticking to the ground. I even managed to scrape together enough [...]

Space Oddity – a David Bowie inspired children’s book

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:54:53 +0000

Space Oddity is one of my favorite David Bowie songs and while cruising through the internets I came across this book illustrated by Andrew Kolb (do yourself a favor and check out his other illustrations – they are brilliant). Of course, this wasn’t done with Mr. Bowie’s permission so download the PDF copy of the [...]

Five things that did not bother me when I was younger

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:35:51 +0000

I’m not that old, right? Some days it really hits me that I’m getting older. I can’t run around the bases quite as fast as I used to and it takes a dose of ibuprofen the morning after a game to get the soreness to go away. Anyhoo – here are 5 Things That Did [...]

A Random Question: What is the deal with “The Farmer in the Dell?” I have had to read that rhyme to my daughter nearly every day this week and I just don’t get the point of it. Why does the cheese stand alone? Something I learned this week: An old paint brush and a bucket [...]

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:35:22 +0000
