Last Sunday, I stopped by the Altamont Fair to get in some last-minute fair-gazing, drop off some leftover supplies at the Arts and Crafts Center donation box, purchase a few snacks, and pick up my artworks from the Fine Arts Building. During my travels, I stopped by the Blue Ribbon Culinary building and watched as…

My blog buddy Alan Ilagan has a feature on his blog, a feature called the “Dazzler of the Day.” Well, for some reason he awarded the Dazzler of the Day to an Australian Rules Footballer by the name of Deven Robertson. Robertson plays for the Brisbane Lions, who right now are battling the Collingwood Magpies…

In 2024, CPKC (the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Railroads) will celebrate their merger with a three-nation trip across North America. The trip will involve CPKC’s heritage locomotive 2816, “The Empress.” This is a big deal. Steam locomotives don’t normally cross through the North America like this. They’re most often reserved for tourist…

I’ll admit it. I’m not a table-top roleplaying game expert. I know of Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer and a few other tabletop adventures, and I know that creative individuals can whip up a tabletop game with some simple rules and lots of ingenuity. Enter Jes The Human. Jes has created their own tabletop role…

One of my friends recently dealt with a contact lens company – and not in a good way. He complained that the contact lens company took over two months to finally tell him they couldn’t make his contact lenses. And he wrote on social media, “Should I blog about this?” Oh, I don’t know ……

The motion picture Jaws debuted 48 years ago this week, and at some point in time I really have to sit down and watch it. Yeah, I can add it to the Royale with Cheese Movie Club section of my blog – you know, films everyone in the world (except me) has seen. That being…

But there it was. I shall explain. A few weeks ago, during one of my photo shoots, I noticed something on the sidewalk. I walked over to get a better view. Well, what do you know. That’s a hopscotch grid. And whoever chalked it into the sidewalk went all out – they used different colored…

The other day, while perusing YouTube for a new cooking recipe to undertake, I came across this series of videos. They’re listed as ASMR videos, and ASMR is a special autonomous sensory meridian response, in which detailed sounds and barely audible whispers turn into special stimulation. Okay, now that I know how it works, let’s…

I said I wasn’t doing any more of these latched hook rugs. Yeah, and just like a New Year’s Resolution, I did it anyway. The plan was to use up the one leftover latched hook canvas and whatever yarns I still had from my NEBA/Mike’s latched hook project from last year. Went through my photos…
