This and That



In the picture, my daughter is on her first dog sled ride. As a dog lover, she was in heaven.

As a way to buy time till I get around to editing and posting some new stories, I’m send you all on a wild goose hunt across blogland. Murf's been keeping us informed us of her ongoing commitment to exercising. She’s now strong and flexible as we can see in the picture provided by Kenju. By the way, Kenju recently changed her url and the one in my blog list is out of date and ya’ll know how much I hate going into my templates to change urls!

Kontan recently enlightened me on the infiltration of Pachelbel’s Canon into the music world. Go over to her site and watch this You-tube video and learn how Pachelbel has infiltrated rock and roll, folk and other forms of music. I’ll never be able to eat at another Taco Bell without humming Canon in D. By the way, Pachelbel’s first name, the cello hater that he was, is Johann.

Karen, a native Michigander (unlike me who just took a wrong turn off the Indiana turpike), is often making fun of the follies of our president and his henchmen and women. You can find that blog to the right. Karen has another blog that makes fun of life in general. (Warning, some might be offended, this is especially true if you're a Republican). For those like me who like to paddle (canoes and such, don’t get the wrong idea here), there’s the paddle store just in case you’re up the creek (or crick as they say around here) without one. Look in her blog for the entry for March 7 (sorry, I can seem to get her blog to open just to the specific date). Karen has also introduced a new medal for those who are a pain in the “you know where (That's found in her February 21 post).” I’ve already put my order in for a case of such medals, now if I can just get away with pinning them where they belong. Are you on the list to receive one?

On a much more serious note, I’ve been reading a blog titled West Desert Journal for about six months. Nate doesn’t write often, but I love his style and his pictures are stunning. I envy him, working out on the Arizona Strip on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

  1. I'm not jealous of too many people but after reading the first few entries by Nate, I am terribly jealous!

  2. Either your daughter is the worlds tallest almost 9 year old or that sled and those dogs are tiny. So, when will you be heading to the breeder to get 8 Huskies for your own dog sled team?

    As for me being bendy, you're funny. Do you really think I'd wear those horrid shoes with that bra and underwear (I refuse to ever say panties) though? :)

  10. Sage, regarding my post about producing ethanol from non-corn sources, the other advantage is you can make alcohol from things like grass. How neat would that be? Run a still off of cut weeds!

  13. That's a stellar picture of the sled team in the wonderful winter landscape. Sure seems like a great time.

    And great link to Nate's West Desert Journal. What an amazing photograph at the top of his blog.

  14. A sled ride is quite an event; little wonder your daughter liked it.

    Michele sent me here.

  16. I think I would enjoy a bob sled ride. I love dogs and I might not be able to make it too far in that cold but it would be a once in a life time experience for me.
    I love the photo...

    btw...I use www.quotationspage.com. Sometimes I go random, sometimes I search for my mood that day or a specific topic.

  17. I loved the picture. Will read the links.

    Ironic that the new owner of my blog commented twice here--never has commented on my blog--but according to blogshares owns 805

  18. Canon in D is one of the most beautiful classical music. I am playing it in the office all the time. You will never get tired listening to it.

  19. Getting the hang of this whole place...shish! You should have paid more attention on the turnpike! LOVE the picture of the dog sled...you are a proper example of what we should be doing with our winter months!
