If you see your child pulling the dog’s tail, what is the first thing that jumps into your head to say? If it’s something like “Don’t pull the dog’s tail,” then you’re like most everyone out there. I know I was raised with “don’t do this,” “don’t do that” and it comes naturally to say […]

You’re not going to believe this. As I was searching for a photo to put with yesterday’s post I discovered my favoritest crab boat captain was not only in town at that very moment, but he just published a book, North by Northwestern: A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters, about his family’s history in […]
I have a really strange guilty pleasure dejour. Maybe it will last a while, or perhaps it will fade when something “better” comes along. Who knows?

I heard the only American car maker making any money this year is Little Tikes. Well, I can say it’s sure easy to see why. Sweetness had discovered the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe at the community center toddler time, and to say she was in love is a bit of an under statement. She was […]
Mr. Man has officially started to crawl. It’s kind of a funky, pull himself along, push up on his toes and pull himself forward kind of early fish out of water maneuver, but it’s mobility none the less. This lively piece of video artistry comes to you care of my iPhone because it was what […]
