    Let’s Rumble in Cribbage!

    Well, by some miracle we got through a Cribbage Rumble game yesterday and we recorded the whole 75-minute event for posterity. We reviewed it several times and it looked pretty good this morning although we were so delirious by the time we finished the marathon, there might be a few bloopers. I also reviewed our…

  • Sena Got an Invisible 29 Hand!

    Sena Got an Invisible 29 Hand!

    Invisible to us anyway. We’ve been excited about filming our first Cribbage Rumble game and we thought the first video we got on March 25, 2026 was too disorganized and chaotic to accept. It’s a good thing I didn’t discard the clips—because Sena got a 29 hand. The trouble was we both failed to notice…

  • New Cribbage Rumble Game Today!

    New Cribbage Rumble Game Today!

    We finished the first Cribbage Rumble game on our new board today! Remember, yesterday the game was very long and I think the memory card pooped out at a crucial moment. So, today I went out and bought a new memory card with more space on it and we started from scratch making a new…

    Marathon Cribbage Rumble Game Today!

    We just finished a train wreck, hilarious, Cribbage Rumble game with our brand new board from Michaud Toys this afternoon (it must have been 3 hrs!). We’ll put something together tomorrow on video if we can manage it!

  • Saw What Might Be a Red-tail Hawk in Our Back Yard

    Saw What Might Be a Red-tail Hawk in Our Back Yard

    We saw some kind of raptor today in our back yard and I couldn’t tell for sure if it was a Red-tail hawk or not. I got the video with an old Canon point-and-shoot through a window at 7:45 in the morning and she sky was overcast. It had a dark spot below its eye,…

  • 9 Card Cribbage Hand 50 Pointer Today!

    9 Card Cribbage Hand 50 Pointer Today!

    We’re on schedule to get our new cribbage boards delivered today! We played 9 card cribbage to 121 today and I got a 50-point hand! We both scored the complex hand, came up with 50 points, checked it with skunkeddotclub and it was correct! We played only 3 hands but the high scores led to…

  • That Pecking Robin is Back Again!

    That Pecking Robin is Back Again!

    A couple of days ago, last year’s pesky female robin came back to peck at one of the basement windows. It’s a window well and she looks like she might be bringing next materials to it. She’s also beating at the window with her wings, as though she sees her reflection—despite the window film Sena…

  • Answers to the 7 Card Cribbage Hand Score Quiz!

    Answers to the 7 Card Cribbage Hand Score Quiz!

    Today is the day of the answers to the cribbage score quiz last Friday. We were playing 7 card cribbage and got interesting hands to score. Hand A is 28: There are a dozen points worth of 15s for 2; there are 12 points worth of 3 card runs; and there are 4 points worth…

  • Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Mummy’s Hand” and Svengoolie Cameo

    Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Mummy’s Hand” and Svengoolie Cameo

    Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” OK, I saw this movie The Mummy’s Hand (1940) last night and went to bed wondering if I was crazy or fell asleep briefly and had a dream during the show. I saw something incredible; it looked like…
