Weekend Site-Seeing
With the school year about to begin, I am once again visiting Mrs. Laguna’s Web site at Milford Middle School.
Mrs. Laguna, a.k.a. Cathy, is my friend and beloved college roommate. She’s one of those highly energetic, creative, and smart teachers that we hope our kids get every year. I enjoy checking out what she […]Speaking of Veggies and Hummus…
Are you sure this isn’t a food blog? What does this have to do with Needlework, Reading, Writing, or Life in Alaska?
Hmmm…good point. Let me think about that, and I’ll get back to you.

The hummus demanded bread. So I made Whole Wheat French Bread with Beer. Whole Wheat Sourdough French Bread is better, but I […]Punished, by David Lubar
What’s on my nightstand? Punished, by David Lubar.
You might recall, I’ve been wanting to read this book for some time, but it was always checked out of the library when I looked for it. That, of course, made me want to read it even more.
Punished is a book of puns and word play. That’s all […]Weird Al + Palindromes =
This:
Do you know what song/video Weird Al is spoofing? This one:
which comes from D. A. Pennebaker’s film, Dont Look Back, a documentary on Bob Dylan’s tour of England in 1965.
I love word play, and Weird Al is wonderfully clever in stringing these palindromes together. There were some I’d never heard:Oozy rat in a sanitary […]American Accent Quiz
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one […]
Weekend Site Seeing
I visit this site enough to know the contents by heart.
I’m not kidding.Arctic Needle Brilliant Idea
Meet Karen, owner of Arctic Needle in Anchorage, Alaska. (See? This is what can happen if you don’t send me a picture. It was a tossup between this one and one of a crocodile with mud on its head. I went with the AK animal.)
Arctic Needle has for three years now been my LNS […]Happenings
March is National Craft Month. If you actually need an excuse to craft, here it is!
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began over the weekend. It’s too soon to know if anyone is actually leading. I’m a little ticked off that I have to “register” to see the full standings on the Iditarod Web […]Catching Up Just Got Easier
Blogs. I love them. Once upon a time I limited my regular blog reading to the number of links I could squeeze into a toolbar on my computer screen. In an effort to cram as many as I could on the one line, I reduced the names to one or two letters. Eventually, I caved […]
Back in the Saddle
Testing, one-two-three. Testing.
The sheets are off the furniture, surfaces are dusted (allergies are having a hayfever-day), and the tumbleweeds have been released in the wind, on their way to Glennallen. I’m home.
Between December 9th and today, I’ve been home intermittently for a total of 13 days. Research suggests I have a hard time blogging […]
