New Cribbage Rumble Marathon Game Video Soon!

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 video of the game.

It went a lot better although we didn’t get done until late in the day. I’ll make the video tomorrow!

Hawks and a Bald Eagle in the Rain Today!15 Apr 2026
We saw not only the Red-tail Hawks today, but a bald eagle to boot. The hawks were making eyes at each other and the eagle was making colonic bombardments. They were getting soaked. It’s hard to regard the bald eagle as a majestic bird when its head feathers are flattened down like it’s been styling … Continue reading "Hawks and a Bald Eagle in the Rain Today!"
Hunkered Down Hawk!14 Apr 2026
We got this sudden string of thunderstorms come up this afternoon in eastern Iowa and it blew pretty hard briefly for a short while. We got barely pea-sized hail. It buffeted the Red-tail Hawk around so much I couldn’t really tell which end of it was up. And then it quickly calmed down. If you … Continue reading "Hunkered Down Hawk!"
Red-tailed Hawk Fixing Nest13 Apr 2026
This is a follow up video of the Red-tailed hawks nesting in the outlet beyond our back yard. This time it seems to be fixing up the nest. We can’t tell whether they have eggs in it or not. It was pretty windy today, so the view is even more challenging.
Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Car”12 Apr 2026
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” We’ve never seen the 1977 movie “The Car” and it’s spooky because that’s the year Sena and I got married and only a few years later we got a big 1980s vintage Chrysler New Yorker that had an … Continue reading "Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Car”"
A Dose of the Mother11 Apr 2026
Sena had another dietary brainstorm and bought something called apple cider vinegar. Warning: it contains a substance called “the mother.” I’m not sure what the mother is, exactly, but I’m concerned that it might be something that would turn up as the main creature on a Svengoolie show movie. By the way, tonight it’s the … Continue reading "A Dose of the Mother"
Sena Finds a Red-tailed Hawk Sitting on a Nest10 Apr 2026
Sena found a Red-tailed hawk on a nest in the outlot beyond our back yard. At first, I thought it was too early for that sort of thing. Sure enough, today we went for a walk and both saw it. This has been a common theme for us. Over 20 years ago she saw a … Continue reading "Sena Finds a Red-tailed Hawk Sitting on a Nest"

Plan for retirement, even if you don’t plan to retire. This means sound financial planning, developing other interests, and nurturing your relationships with significant others. Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice. Of course, there is no reason to retire if you really love your work and relationships just as they are.-H. Steven Moffic, MD See original article in Psychiatric Times
