The talking heads on television this morning (I’m not even bothering with names since they are all interchangeable) were jabbering on about the possibility of radioactive cars and materials from Japan.  One brain, who was apparently mimicking words much like a baby or an actor on Star Trek: the Next Generation (and with as much… Continue reading

Apparently staged line dancing is universal:  A bunch of folks dancing the Lebanese Dabke at the duty-free terminal of the Beirut airport.  (via Gateway Pundit)  As a note, most of the dancers were professional–it was a promotion stunt, but still cool nonetheless.

Ever since Borepatch mentioned Grace in the comments of a previous post, Amazing Grace has been traveling in a loop through my head.  The best version I could find was Johnny Cash and his family (starts at 2:50 on the video).  But it was lovely to listen to June Carter Cash beforehand.  It seems that… Continue reading

So, I went home for two funerals last week/this weekend.  North was also at the funeral of a close friend (my condolences again on his loss).  This is not the first time I’ve attended funerals or known of people (including two other family members) to pass within a three to four day period from March… Continue reading

For my sister since we completely confused everyone around us eating at the Mexican place yesterday. Continue reading
