I really had planned on not having such a break between the previous picture oriented post and this one, but as you know, life often gets in the way. As such I am posting this on a Saturday. Oops. Sorry, Sunday. I promised more pictures of Déla in her role as Minstrel in her school’s…
I have talked about my current exercise regimen before, and yes, I’m going to talk about it again, but perhaps not in the way you might expect. And yes, I’m certainly going to make mention of the fact that I don’t enjoy exercising. It is actually sort of important to the point of this post….
The 2018 Washington State Fair is quite a ways away, but the announcements of the musical attractions are starting to pour in. Running from August 31 to September 23 (closed Tuesdays and September 5) the Washington State Fair is massive, with over a million visitors each year, and one of the premier attractions is the…

Northwest Folklife is the organization that has grown out of the festival and is responsible for a variety of events….
I know it has been a couple of weeks, I have already addressed why. Let’s move on. This is going to be a big update, plenty of stuff having taken place since the last one of these, including a lot of Cub and Boy Scout stuff – but that is, of course, not all. How…
The last post I published was February 9, over two weeks ago, and I’ve been working on this post virtually ever since. Thing is, my dad’s memorial mass was held February 10. I had planned on a small write up, but things kept going sideways, or I would get distracted by having to parent the…
Surprisingly, I haven’t taken many pictures the last couple of weeks. Of the pictures that WERE taken, here are the ones that are relevant. Grace is figuring out how to “draw” only usually it’s on the wall. Xavier was the “star” student last week, and needed a picture of his family for his “about me”…
