The Therd Person: September 2008
http://therdperson.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 26, 2008. I can’t get Fred off my mind. Not because I think he’s as funny as his legions of ten-year-old fans do, but because he, or rather Lucas Cruikshank- the 14-year-old boy who created him- has enough raw flimmaking talent and understanding of how to entertain his peers that his short movies have attracted literally nearly a hundred million viewers. Charming, isn't he? Because he has managed to do what has been so elusive for the film and television industry- create a successful pr...

The Therd Person: August 2008
http://therdperson.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. Legend and DaVinci's Code. That I watched it right after. Comparing the two leaves the. Severely lacking for want of anything meaningful related to the human condition. Offers a tale that shows us, with stark beauty, just how capable we humans are of selflessness, and of doing what is right now matter how inconvenient, even dangerous, it may be. The. Indeed, what Smith brought to. Took the story from being good, to becoming a masterful portrait of human virtue. (. In Hanks defens...

The Therd Person: January 2009
http://therdperson.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 16, 2009. I've created a little bit of a dilemma for myself. I did it by reading King's Dragon. By Kate Elliot. It's a great book. It's a well-written high fantasy with realistic characters that takes place in a medievalish world that's presented with heaps of detail. (In fact, the sheer quantity of detail that Elliot pours into this world may prove to be the Achilles heel of this book for some readers.). Links to this post. These were the questions the image of the Mr. Burns cyborg l...

The Therd Person: October 2008
http://therdperson.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Neil Gaiman has been referred to as a "rockstar of the literary world". People call his stories "remarkable". If you've spent much time perusing the fantasy section of your local bookstore or Amazon.com you're sure to have come across at least a few of his titles. I decided to sample one of his books a few years back with his well-reviewed American Gods. Also, American Gods. So I stopped reading, er, listening to it. And liked it. And I watched Stardust. That And I kept hearing...

Bells and Whistles: Ohiopyle
http://somethingsclever.blogspot.com/2015/08/ohiopyle.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. We went and explored some of our new state finally with Lindsay Anne and her family. We camped at Ohiopyle State Park and we had an awesome time! I convinced Jethro to go in and swim! We hadn't put on swimming suits at this point, so the kids all got in in various states of dress/undress. Then we got to the real good stuff. The natural waterslides area. We took it easy at first, which was great- the kids loved it and were not intimidated. Whooop- where'd he go? It was so so fun!

Bells and Whistles: April 2015
http://somethingsclever.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Just a lil' ol' facebook status. I thought for three months now that one of our boxes from Switzerland had been lost (or stolen) on it's way here- the one with our computer in it, with FIVE YEARS WORTH of PICTURES on it! Crying such happy, grateful tears. So happy. Sooooooo happy. Sunday, April 26, 2015. WHY didn't we take out the hard drive with my pictures on it and carry it WITH us the entire way? Holy cow do I ever wish though that I had finished blogging about our trip to C...

Bells and Whistles: Best Surprise Ever!
http://somethingsclever.blogspot.com/2015/08/best-surprise-ever.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. So once upon a time, Lindsay Anne, my sister-in-law was awesome enough to come visit me! I was sooooo happy and excited! AND THEN- she brought along my sister Lindsay and her family! Well, Lindsay and Sterling were on their way from Lindsay Anne's house to their own house in Miami, and at the VERY last second they decided to come see me! Because they are awesome! It was the BEST surprise ever! Wyatt and Will were BEST friends! At least, we told them they were a lot.). Happening a...

Bells and Whistles: March 2015
http://somethingsclever.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. These pictures are out of order- they're from the day before we left for PA. It was a gorgeous, no-coat kind of February day in Utah. Orrin still talks about Jack Jack all the time. Best friends! And Natty -I love that girl! These boys know how to ride! And these are some pictures of Wyatt I took back then that I don't think ever got posted. And maybe it's just the hair being combed or something, but it's strangely as if he looks a year older in just two months? One day I overhe...

Bells and Whistles: February 2015
http://somethingsclever.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. So here I am in my new house in Pennsylvania. Which house I love. A lot. The next day Brett and I and Brett's dad loaded up the u-pack ABF truck. After hauling box after box of books into the truck, Brett's dad said, "Well if the power ever goes out you can burn your books and stay warm." Ha ha. Hooray- we were a family again finally! AND, I think I'll call that good for today. Thursday, February 5, 2015. He couldn't stop looking at the huge flock of birds. Yes- it really was w...
