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…

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!

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!
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…

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…

CDC ACIP Meeting Postponed for Today and Tomorrow
I missed the recent notice in the last couple of days that the CDC ACIP meeting was postponed for today and tomorrow. Me and more than a couple dozen people were kept waiting for a half hour before I got suspicious and looked it up. There’s a CIDRAP story posted yesterday that explains the “delay.”…

9 Card Cribbage Comedy!
Sena’s been after me for weeks to play 9 card cribbage, so because it’s St. Patrick’s Day, I gave in because we might get lucky and the game might be playable. We used a computer scorer developed by somebody who posted about 9 card cribbage (and other cribbage variants) and has a link to a…

Iowa Blizzard Update!
The blizzard started yesterday evening. I put out the garbage this morning and scraped out a path to our doorstep in case we get the cribbage boards delivered today from Canada. I’m not expecting it. It’s still blowing snow around. The stuff is freezing on the driveway and the sidewalks. I’m surprised the garbage can…

OK, Why is Nobody Talking About Friday the 13th Today?
Nobody but me, I guess, is talking out loud about Friday the 13th today. I don’t remember anybody mentioning it last month when it occurred either. And it’s going to happen again this year in November. That’ll make 3 times Friday the 13th happens in a single year. And tomorrow’s Svengoolie movie is “Friday the…

Rash of Bigfoot Sightings in Ohio, So What About Iowa?
Actually, I should refer to the multiple sightings of Bigfoot as a flap. That’s proper terminology. The news story shows a video with the cryptid on it although I think it looks more like somebody smeared a chocolate bar on the camera lens. There’s an organization called Bigfoot Society that is tracking the story. The…
