To all who come to this happy blog, welcome!
While on vacation or traveling, I like to eat an apple each morning for breakfast. I admit that don’t get my recommended servings of fruit that I should while at home, but when away from home, I do much better. I suppose it all evens out, with all the fast and greasy foods, or unusual … Read more
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth taking a moment to reflect on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed to the world. Roland “Larry” Lawrence LaPrise, the man that wrote ‘The Hokie Pokey,’ died peacefully at the age of 93. … Read more
The demolition derby rolled over several cars and right into town last weekend. We have heard from several reliable sources that it is quite the experience. Nate had a big city brother staying with us and we were all incredibly excited to go, that is until we saw the ticket price. $10. Ten bucks to hang out with your … Read more
During my lunch break, I like to spread out the newspaper and relax. At least, sometimes it is relaxing. Sometimes it is just bewildering. Like this article about Karl Rove. Karl is apparently the smartest strategist in the Republican Party, supposedly the one who masterminded the entire campaign and was responsible for the election of … Read more

The last days have come. Jesus has reappeared! And there was an apparent misunderstanding. It seems that the great melting of the world will actually take place at room temperature (the change probably had something to do with the sudden onset of global warming). The righteous shall be as chocolate sauce, nuts, and a cherry. … Read more
I have always supported Chick-fil-a’s valiant efforts to save the cows and promote cow awareness across the globe. It only helps that their food contains some sort of deliciously addictive substance that one only needs smell to start saliva production. Recently, I was pleasantly surprised to recieve an email from their company promoting Cow Appreciation … Read more
It was all sparked by a cheesy birthday gift. The video was about a 30 minute commercial for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles “newly” formed rock band. With that group, they hosted a stage show and put out an album. The 1990 debut album, “Coming Out Of Our Shells,” was to introduce to the world … Read more
I just wanted to take a moment to thank the Food and Drug Administration, and all the fast-food places, for pulling tomatoes from the market. I am one who does not enjoy eating tomatoes. I think it is a texture thing, because I do like ketchup and salsa. Except when the salsa has thick tomato … Read more
