View of the marching fishes. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Route 66 V: The under-written conclusion! I’m just about ready to wrap up this whole Route 66 thing, not because I’m running out of stories, but because as we progressed further north, and I became more and more anxious about getting to Chicago in time to pick up my house keys, we ventured outside of the car less and less. Am I the only one that find this creepy? How does one keep alligators alive in Oklahoma for most of the year? I have to put a di...

pixxiefish in the stacks: Happiness(TM) by Will Ferguson
http://pixxiefishbooks.blogspot.com/2009/04/happinesstm-by-will-ferguson.html
Pixxiefish in the stacks. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. - Groucho Marx. Penguin Group Canada, Toronto: 2002). One of my all-time favourite books. I have read it at least three times since first picking it up in 2004 (because I found the giant daisy on the cover was, ironically, pleasing). I hadn't heard of Will Ferguson before, though he has since become one of my favourite authors. One is just too darn happy. Except for Edwin. By Orson Scott Card.

http://thetrailingspouse.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
The Mis-Adventures of the Trailing Spouse. Beirut, the final frontier. These are the voyages of a Trailing Diplomatic Spouse. His two-year mission will bring me to strange, new worlds - to seek out new friends in new civilizations. To boldly go where Cheryl has not gone before. Saturday, May 5, 2007. Don't get me wrong. I think that the experience has been invaluable and I have done so many interesting things along the way! If we get the time off, we also want to check out China, Japan and Thailand.

Mumblings of an Old Man: January 2007
http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Mumblings of a long vacation. What, you don't like dogs? Well, that's one long blogging hiatus. I had struggled to upload an audio clip which I considered integral to what would have been my last post, a couple of weeks into December, never got it done, and now here we are. The plan is to intersperse tales of the now not-quite-distant past with reports of the present. First, the trip. What can I say about the trip? December 23, 2006 Taipei. More waiting...

http://mumblingsofanoldman.blogspot.com/2008/11/hot-fashion-moments_03.html
Mumblings of an Old Man. Monday, November 03, 2008. Well, another birthday come and gone. Had lots of fun, though, and the festivities are not over. Julie got us Spamalot tickets at the NAC, and we are going this Tuesday. The night of, we went for 10 pin bowling, and then drinks afterward. Some people apparently had better things to do - and others were unintentionally left out - sorry, James! For the former group, I only have the following to offer: you look mahvelous! To use that picture. Hehe. Elliot-...

Mumblings of an Old Man. Friday, February 29, 2008. Well, it's Friday, and I've been wanting to link to this. Credit where due, to Pitchfork for this quote:. Crank this baby up. It's War Photographer. Posted by Freemount at 12:58 AM. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Finally, I tried a few museum sites of War of the Worlds cover art. There have been scores of covers. But there it was - the 1960 Looking Glass Edition. And it turns out that our school librarian chose wisely, because for some reason...Wonderful...

Mumblings of an Old Man. Thursday, March 15, 2007. I mentioned previously that we get "special lunches" on occasion, at least those of us in the school "social club", which appears to be everybody. Wednesday we had an unagi. Eel) set. It was delicious, but just one single piece of eel! I recommend following this.
