Downtown Richmond, VA Listen without downloads (samples) here The National Folk Festival is the oldest traditional arts festival in the country, celebrating the roots, richness and variety of American culture through music, dance, traditional craft, storytelling and food. This "moveable feast of...
A somewhat longish, absolutely fascinating article about the history of auditory hallucinations -- i.e., hearing voices inside your head -- and a movement that has not only cropped up but become quite successful in Europe to change the public's perceptions around voice-hearers -- and the voices...
Lil did this first, Molly then got her hands on it. So I shall do my damage to it, because what's a meme without the added indignity of a haphazard blogger heeding it. Using the list below, bold all the titles that you’ve read. If you’ve read other titles by the same author, add them under that...
Instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you have read a bit from but never finished, italicize the ones you might want to read in the future, cross out the ones you won’t touch with a 10-foot pole, and do not do anything to the ones you’ve...
Look at the ages. 19. 20. 22. 25. 34. 28. 19. Today a female suicide bomber killed 40 or so people. It is an unwanted occupation. We will win when our men and women come home. 20-June1One Soldier was killed and five wounded in three roadside bomb attacks on Coalition force patrols in Diyala province...
Rachel posted this a while ago, and I was kind of amused by my results, so I thought I'd post it. I'm not sure whether or not this is the one where you're meant to add a book of your own at the end, but some of the books on this list are so abysmal - Mitch Albom, for pete's sake? - that I thought it...
This is the part where I'm beginning to miss LJ-cut. Please bear with me. Book meme: *Look at the list of books below. *Bold the ones you’ve read. *Italicize the ones you want to read. *Leave blank the ones that you aren’t interested in. 1. The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown) 2. Pride and Prejudice...

For many people the beginning of Spring heralds the start of another year of fresh vegetables. Admit it, nothing says Spring like a crunchy pea pod or succulent stalk of asparagus. The Lehigh Valley has it's fair share of the vegetable trade; from vegan desserts, to farmer's markets, to independent...
To be slowly finished.... (The sheer amount of research this takes, reading it all, putting it together, and then typing it out takes time. Especially since I'm scanning article quotes into jpegs and gifs so I can link to them. Once I'm finished I'll clean it up so that it's easier to follow.) I was...
The other day it occurred to me that I’ve hardly said a peep about the book. Seeing as I spend every day in its (nascent) company, it seems like a funny oversight. It hasn’t been intentional, I swear. We’re just slowly feeling our way, this little book and I. Sometimes I feel so absorbed in...
Still on vacation in Michigan...right now both parents are off with Grandma running an errand. So I'm home with my brother, but since he's still sleeping I have time. :-) This has been fast and tiring so far, fun too of course. Arrived Friday, Saturday my brother and I got dressed to go running,...
Several different blogs I read (in the school/education area) have this meme, which I challenge my readers to do, too. I've always considered myself "well read," but this showed me I'm not as well read as I thought. I guess I enjoy the detective novels too much! Here's what you do: Look at the list...

I love getting Christmas cards with photos on them or in them. They give lots of information about the people who send them, in addition to what the senders put into words. I hope the photos on this blog give you a huge, holiday bellyache of information about what we've been doing here for the last...

I wrote a post here the other day, but I haven't posted it yet, because I have been working (by which I mean, "not working") on some images for it. Here is an entirely different, inappropriately long post for you. Which took hours to write. The following is Full of Win: It's a collection of...

i have a guilty secret. yes, i do. and i must steal myself to reveal it to you now. today i made a brown-paper-bag book purchase. unfortunately they didn't actually give me a brown paper bag, even though i felt it was warranted. before i explain my buying adventure, perhaps i should give you a...
I found this recipe on the back of a jar of Frontera Mild Roasted Tomato Salsa. That is Frontera as in Frontera Grill, as in Rick Bayless. I respect Rick Bayless as a chef, as well as his food, but this salsa is BAD. The ingredients are simple and are all actually food (tomatoes, water, onions,...
