Simple Terms: February 2010
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Olympic Memories: Part Two. A very cute baby, that helps. Tonight we saw the Flying Tomato (or Animal. I guess it is now) grab some bur-hur-hur-hurly. Air on the half pipe. That. was pretty-frickin-sweet dude. Then we watched quite a few of the women down-hillers finish the course in various prone positions. And of course watching Lindsey Vonn take the lead by half a second on a bum leg and scream orgasmically did not suck. Subscribe in a reader. Posted by Jon Dayton. Watchi...

Simple Terms: In The Shadow Of The Mushroom Cloud
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-shadow-of-mushroom-cloud.html
Monday, February 01, 2010. In The Shadow Of The Mushroom Cloud. A while ago I was writing about a favorite song of mine that goes, "We who grew up tall and proud, in the shadow of the mushroom cloud." For some reason there's been all kinds of mentions of Hiroshima in the media lately, I haven't had time to see why but it's been prickling the back of my mind. It's a different era. Black Sabbath using an air raid siren in a song chilled the Brits to their very cores. Now it's just a sample. Captain Dumbass...

Simple Terms: Master of Ceremonies
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010/02/master-of-ceremonies.html
Saturday, February 13, 2010. Canada has definitely got the lead on televised live events. Throughout the entire three hour performance I never thought once about the sound except ocasionally to marvel a how GOOD it was. When I think back to various Super Bowl half time shows it just makes me shudder. The Stones sounded so bad I actually sent an angry e-mail o the network.The Opening ceremony was just so balanced and even and achingly crystal clear. Sent from my iPod. Posted by Jon Dayton. I was that mom.

Simple Terms: May 2010

Monday, May 31, 2010. A Salute To Professional Commenters. Apparently Captcha works pretty well, as spammers have been forced to turn to actual human beings to spread links on blogs. Sweat shops are springing up the world over, although mostly in India and Asia where people sit at computers and post for hours at a time. I got over 300 comments in one day by such a method.

Simple Terms: Mr Know-It-All
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010/01/mr-know-it-all.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. My paternal grandfather did a lot to make his mark around town. In addition to being a crack math teacher and beloved superintendent of the local school he just did everything. He was a master vegetable gardener, an athlete well into his eighties, contributed to nearly everything going on around him in some way or another and read voraciously, constantly. He, and others, sometimes referred to a time not so long ago when a person really could know it all. There's something emi...

Simple Terms: On Rembrandt
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-rembrandt.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. When I was in college studying theatrical lighting design I was faced with a minimum course requirement that put me officially on overload. I think it was if you were over 18 credit hours per semester. That left me looking for the easy way out on my liberal arts credits. I fount it right off the bat in a prof that taught art history, specifically baroque art. Is something I can identify with! Subscribe in a reader. Posted by Jon Dayton.

Simple Terms: Olympic Memories: Part One
http://simpleterms.blogspot.com/2010/02/olympic-memories-part-one.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. Olympic Memories: Part One. You don't have to read this. I'm just writing it down for the purpose of remembering it later. When I went on my honeymoon to London, I thought it would be memorable so I kept a journal. Turns out it was a pretty good idea because now I can only remember the stuff that I wrote down at the time. The rest is a complete blank. All the modifications to the luge event upon the death of the Georgian before things got going don't seem to have done anything&...

Grinwell...grin often.: February 2009
http://grinwell.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
To draw back the lips so as to show the teeth especially in amusement. Thursday, February 12, 2009. Last night we started a new class at our church based around the movie "Fireproof". First off, all I have to say is Curt freakin. I'm pretty sure that my left testy. Better than this guy! Overall a very positive movie. For marriage's and should be watched by all young married couples that want to shoot each other on a daily basis. Being very disruptive and obnoxious. Man did we have fun! Man blogging reall...

Grinwell...grin often.: Little red wagon...
http://grinwell.blogspot.com/2009/02/little-red-wagon.html
To draw back the lips so as to show the teeth especially in amusement. Thursday, February 5, 2009. This was not a construction cart or work type wagon with the inflatable wheels.this was a real live Radio Flyer. And it was connected to the device with a bungee chord. The little red wagon was oozing with plumbing fittings and elbows and some were being left behind as he clamored along hitting bumps and potholes in the road which resulted in the wagon slamming into the back of the machine. Good one. Ke...
