Christmas Day 2022 Antics!
Christmas Day at our house was a lot of fun. I got a coffee mug that specifies the importance of cribbage. Sena got a throw that sort of complements the throw she got me on our anniversary. Those throws add a lot to the ambience in the room. And the coffee mug really speaks to…

Hope This is the Last Day of the Arctic Blast
It’s Saturday, Christmas Eve, and we’re hoping this is the last day of the Arctic Blast from Winter Storm Elliott.

Early Christmas Gift for Us!
We’re still in the big Arctic Blast. The wind was howling after the snowstorm. We worked so hard shoveling snow that we decided to give ourselves a slightly early Christmas gift. It’s a foot massager. We had to clear the front walk to enable the delivery guy to get it to us. It’s quite a…

Cedar Waxwings Get Cold Breakfast
The morning of December 22, 2022 was one of the most frigid days in recent memory. The winter storm brought 30-40 mph winds and temperatures sometimes to down to 30 or worse. I didn’t get right out there to shovel. Snow was blowing around until well after noon. This gave me a chance to watch…

Snow Day!
I wrote this post yesterday because I didn’t know whether or not we’d have a power outage because of high winds (up to nearly 50 mph) predicted for the Arctic Blast this week. When we’re not outside scooping our walkway and driveway, we’ll probably be playing cribbage or, God forbid, Scrabble (which I always lose).…

Blockbuster Sasquatch Cribbage Game Antics!
Brace yourselves! Sena and I are going to break the internet with the never-before-seen YouTube video of our antic-filled cribbage game on our Sasquatch cribbage board—and playing with the Sasquatch cribbage cards! This had an extremely rare outcome. Wait’ll you see what it is. I also shared a few nuggets of knowledge about Sasquatch that…

Sasquatch Playing Cards Arrive!
We got our Sasquatch playing card deck! The images of Bigfoot are strikingly similar to the carved image on our new Sasquatch cribbage board. And they both resemble the image of Patty, the female Bigfoot supposedly captured on 16mm film back in 1967 by Bob Gimlin. That’s the legendary Patterson-Gimlin video of Bigfoot. There are…

The Proof Is Out There Airs Debunked Rerun of Simulated Reality
I watched one of my favorite TV shows last night, The Proof Is Out There, and I was surprised to see the rerun of a debunked segment from last year. It was the simulated reality spot in which a photo of a girl showing her reflection in a mirror with apparently two different facial expressions…

Avatar Fever
Sena and I just watched the original Avatar movie on TV last night. The new sequel just opened: “Avatar: Totally Under Water Without Snorkel or Scuba.” I can’t recall when we actually saw the original Avatar, although it was probably not long after it was released in 2009. The CGI effects are still mesmerizing. Sena…

Bending Amaryllis Staked, Sort of…
This morning we noticed that the Amaryllis was bent almost 90 degrees. We found a zip tie and used an old wooden spoon to stake it. Sure, it looks like amateurs did it-because amateurs did it. But the alternative is to cut the stem and sacrifice the blooms, which are still vibrant.
