  • Happy Holidays to our Friends and Family and, well, Every Dang Body (the holiday card post)!

    In case you’re wondering, I found an old Russian card and modified it. Let’s see…

  • Before you bother considering whether a glass is half empty or half full, you should first ask what's in it

    H.o.p. wanted to hear Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” so I went to Youtube where I knew I could find a few versions fast and quick. Over in the side bar was a video titled, “Pachelbel Canon in D Major Perfect Version”. I’ve heard plenty of versions I don’t like and a few that I do.  I…

  • An All Natural, Organic, Folk Holiday Music Offering from the Kearns

    Inspiration struck upon hearing Nuttin’ for Christmas last night. We’d no idea it existed and if you aren’t familiar then I suggest you go take a listen at the above link before proceeding, because… I promptly came up with my own all natural, organic, folk holiday version, got Marty to play guitar, and off-the-top of…

  • Holiday Spirity (update: now with video!)

    Courtesy Pandora Internet Radio we’ve had mucho Christmas music around here the past few days. If you look for “Holiday” in their genre stations, they offer choices of Christmas blues, jazz, rock, classical, folk, Motown, R&B/pop, swingin’, country and peaceful. We’ve mostly stuck with the folk option, but today created a station that will hopefully…

  • After the Rush at the King Tut Exhibit

    [clear] As we were leaving, we were told by a harried, exhausted, but friendly worker that there had been 6000 visitors in 3 hours. I wasn’t surprised to hear it. What did surprise me is we’d purchased tickets a couple of months ago because I had the impression sell-out crowds were being anticipated and that…

  • At the Georgia Aquarium

    [clear] Went to the Georgia Aquarium today, where I had a fine time (well, I wanted to have a fine time, and did in parts) up to about the point that we finished viewing the exhibits and then a kind of sensory overload hit and that was pretty much it for me. My initial plan…

  • Our two votes cast make a slightly less red Georgia

    5:23 A.M. We are getting ready to go and vote because I’m going to collapse in a heap o’ panic if we don’t get down to the polling place now. I’ve been hyperventilating for two months now. Eight years ago when we took H.o.p. with us to the polls, damn, looking back it seems like…

  • Ummm, this week….not much….to say…

    Nothing to say all week.  Nothing to say today.  I watched the debate Tuesday night and was alarmed by McCain.  No, say it as it was.  The moment I saw the expression on his face as he entered the stage, I felt dread on a scale that surprised me.  Subsequently, I have been increasingly disturbed…

  • Fernbank Science Center Planetarium, October 3 2008

    Fernbank Science Center Planetarium Light box enlargement Oct 2008 Man, Machine and Shadow, The Planetarium Light box enlargement This evening we saw, at Fernbank, Marsquest. H.o.p. loved it. Marty enjoyed it. I sat and wondered what in the hell we’re doing going to Mars, but I still rather enjoyed the show as well, though I’ve…

  • Perhaps the most difficult subject we’re homeschooling this year

    Perhaps the most difficult subject we’re homeschooling this year

    Above is the most difficult subject we’re trying to begin to learn this year. The Baxoje language, of which only a handful of speakers remain. One of my long term projects has been assisting Jimm GoodTracks with his Ioway, Otoe-Missouria Language Website, which I’ve done for a number of years. He has been compiling a…

    The Last Night of September 2008

    The Last Night of September 2008 Sept 2008 A photo accompanies this post. If you don’t see it, click on the header. H.o.p. made a movie while I chatted with George. When we came out it was just as the sun was setting, movers were moving someone into an apartment on the floor above us.…

  • In Which I Discuss Palin with a Republican

    The Face of Delta Sept 2008 Marty’s back from New York. He brought a couple trinkets for H.o.p., who was delighted. There are two Skyteam symbols on the Delta toy, each ahead of the forward doors, but they end up looking like X eyes, like in a cartoon where a character is passed out cold.…
