  • Jesus & Lima Beans

    I wonder if Jesus had a favorite food.  What if there was a food He didn’t like?  That’d be weird, since He invented it.  But I wonder if Mary had to make Him eat His lima beans in order to get ice cream after supper.  He might have sat there thinking, “I just knew creating Continue reading

  • The Halloween Menu

    I don’t see how kids do it.  One of the teachers at the Training Station gave me two pieces of Halloween cake today, along with a juice box.  Good stuff, but my system has OD’d on sweets.  To think of the kids eating that and then downing a bunch of candy tonight….  Oy….. Continue reading

  • A Nerd’s Nightmare

    The other night I had what could only be classified as a true nerd’s nightmare.  In this dream, I had placed an order with Amazon several hours earlier, and I suddenly realized that I’d forgotten to select the Free Super Saver Shipping. I woke up in a cold sweat, glad it had only been a Continue reading

  • So Long, Peekaboo

    The little guinea pig at the Training Station has gone away to guinea pig paradise.  Peekaboo, who was about six years old, died during the night.  Some people were surprised he made it through the summer, as he was showing signs of aging.  When the little children showed up for preschool this morning, many of Continue reading

  • OK, Just One More Chapstick Post

    You’re probably tired of hearing about chapstick, but I figured I owe it to my readers to share with you some “Top Tips for Healthy Lips.”  Brought to you by ChapStick, who offers their own expertise credentials on this subject: “With over 120 years of expertise, ChapStick are the true experts and leaders in lip Continue reading

  • Chapstick Conspiracy Theory

    Another chapstick post.  I was starting to wonder why I kept blogging about chapstick, but the mystery was solved when I stumbled upon this website (which hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade–a record, perhaps?).  Apparently there’s a conspiracy theory floating around about the addictive qualities of chapstick. Click on the site above to explore Continue reading
