I remember loving when a school assignment involved some sort of puzzle. I remember crosswords that were made up of that week's vocabulary or spelling words. I also remember math assignments that had a riddle. As you answered the math problems, the answers corresponded with letters that you'd fill in, and it would eventually give … Continue reading A Puzzling Blog
A Novel Idea
One of my favorite places to hang out is the library. Last week, my oldest son asked if we could go there so he could look up some things for a homework project. While he was working on that, I naturally started browsing. I always start in the New Fiction/New Non-Fiction section. By doing this, … Continue reading A Novel Idea
Ice, Ice … Maybe
http://www.andertoons.com "Meteorologists are the only profession where you get paid to guess and be wrong every day!"

Christmas Recap
Bing Crosby could sing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" all he wanted last week, but it was never going to happen here in Michigan. The weatherman told us over and over to expect record high temperatures. Hell, it was colder on Halloween and Thanksgiving than it was on Christmas!

‘Twas a Blog Before Christmas
