Hickory Hill Park with Sena the Bigfoot Hunter
Because we found that tree structure in Hickory Hill Park recently, Sena led us on a Bigfoot hunt yesterday. At first all we saw were more dragonflies. One was a male Widow Skimmer. We knew it was a male because it had white patches on its wings. So the first one we saw the other…

The Little Mundanities of Life
Sena says I need to write about some mundanities, so I will. She says the mundane things in life are important. She told me about an episode of The Waltons she saw years ago, which emphasized the importance of life’s little mundane things. I looked for the episode on the web, but couldn’t find it.…

There were 268 comments complaining about it and I don’t think any of them realized that the show is a parody. The first time we saw it about a month ago we laughed ourselves silly. The second time…

Para-Debunking on Debunking Day
Today, in honor of Debunking Day, which is held on March 11 annually (starting in 2005) I thought I’d introduce a new word. It’s Para-Debunking and you won’t find it in the dictionary, at least not in our brand-new hardcover Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition. It was just delivered yesterday. We needed at least one…

Be Kind and View Our Chicago Cribbage Antics Video
It’s a mystery why our Chicago Cribbage Antics video is not getting thousands of views on YouTube. It ranks right up there with the other Top 10 great mysteries: Bigfoot sightings are everywhere, including your backyard; yet there is a shortage of Bigfoot Personal Trainers. UFOs sightings are also on the rise, and they frequently…
