It's a tangled web we weave, (pause) Corey.
Well, I didn't pull off the double, but I'm still happy with today's race. I had a horrible starting position. Last row on a narrow fast uphill start. When we got to the bottleneck when the path left the cement and hit a sharp "S" curve, I honestly think I could have stopped and drank a cup of coffee waiting for everyone in front of me to get through. I started moving up quickly after the first lap. I caught and passed Bryce, a kid I know from collegiate racing, and then crashed right in front of him going into a loose sharp right hand corner. He rode over my bike, but I hopped right up and got back on his wheel. I ended up passing him and moving up farther and farther until I settled into about 11th position. I passed one guy through the feed zone, and then on the last lap I passed an Al's Barbershop rider and moved up into 9th. I was chasing another Al's rider and thought I could get him before the finish, but I guess I let it all hang out, a little too far. I lost it in a right handed bend and slid on my left leg and knee right back into 10th position.
I still thought I had a chance to get back into at least 9th if not up into 8th, so I tried not to let the crash get to me, and I hammered out the rest of the lap, only to lose it in one of the last sharp corners. This time I knocked my rear wheel hard enough that it was like riding with my rear brake completely squeezed, and my handlebars were at at least a 45 degree angle to straight. I limped it in and got passed by the guy I'd passed in the feed zone to finish in 11th. I went into the race hoping for a top 15 finish and I guess I accomplished that, but the top 10 was so close that I can't help but wish I'd have at least held onto the 9th that I was sitting in. Oh well, that's racing, right? I took a chance and it didn't pay off. A very very wise man once told me, "It's a tangled web we weave, Corey, you have to be willing to risk losing in order to win." I guess in the battle for top ten, I risked losing and I lost. Overall I'm very pleased with how the upgrade went. I really feel like this is where I should be racing, and I have plenty of room for improvement.
Once again I had an amazing photographer making sure I had plenty of images of myself to sit here and look at all night. Carly Simon would be proud. It's a rough life handing up bottles and taking pictures, so I think this burger was well deserved.

20 Caper Recipes to Add to Your Collection0
Capers bring a Mediterranean flavor to just about whatever you put them in, and they are just lovely with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and other flavors. From chicken piccata to sauces and dressings, these paleo capers recipes will have you running to the kitchen—you can be sure of it.
1. Healthy Chicken Piccata With Capers
Chicken piccata is traditionally a creamy dish that isn't necessarily the picture of healthy eating. But it doesn't have to be that way! This healthy chicken piccata is made with tapioca flour, capers, garlic, onion, chicken broth, fresh parsley, and more.
2. Turkey Burgers With Caper Aoili
These turkey burgers have shallots, garlic, and capers cooked right into them for extra bursts of unexpected flavor, and they're served with a lovely lemon-garlic-caper aioli. You'll want to use homemade mayonnaise if you can't find a store-bought version that's paleo.
3. Chicken Satimbocca With Steamed Broccoli
This simple meal is perfect for busy weeknights when you barely have time to cook, and it'll look and taste like you spent hours on it! You'll need chicken thighs, artichoke hearts, chicken broth, capers, grass-fed butter, prosciutto, broccoli, and olive oil.
4. Sauteed Caper and Garlic Cabbage With Lemon
Filled with flavors of garlic and lemon, this simple side dish or light lunch will take you straight to the Mediterranean. Capers and red cabbage (green would work but isn't as pretty) are the ideal flavor and texture combination in this dish.
5. Pan Fried Haddock With Lemon and Capers
You can use haddock or any firm white fish for this recipe, which takes all of its charm from the lovely lemon caper topping including garlic, preserved lemon, ghee or avocado oil, sea salt, and pink peppercorns if you have them. This dish is delicious and beautiful!
6. Caper and Anchovy Miracle Sauce
This miracle sauce is good on just about anything you can think of from hard boiled eggs to chicken to vegetables. You'll need anchovy fillets packed in olive oil, capers, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, Italian parsley, and freshly ground black pepper.
7. Roasted Chicken Thighs With Capers and Olives
This dish is absolutely delicious, and it's AIP friendly, so it's something everyone can enjoy! Make it with capers and sun dried black olives for extra texture and flavor, and include quash, zucchini, and cauliflower. This could be a great one-pot dinner meal!
8. Scrambled Eggs With Lox and Capers
These eggs are so flavorful, you'll want to eat them for lunch and dinner as well as breakfast? And why couldn't you! Well, maybe not all in the same day. To make these, you'll need capers, parsley, coconut oil, tomatoes, red onion, smoked salmon, eggs, salt, and pepper.
9. Italian Style Peppers With Capers
This capers dish includes sweet onions, yellow or orange bell peppers, red bell peppers, tomatoes, red wine or balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and sesame oil. Everything is sautéed together, making a lovely side dish that's as much about presentation as it is about taste.

10. Balsamic Glazed Pork Medallions With Capers
This capers dish includes sweet onions, yellow or orange bell peppers, red bell peppers, tomatoes, red wine or balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and sesame oil. Everything is sautéed together, making a lovely side dish that's as much about presentation as it is about taste.
11. Lemon and Artichoke Chicken
This flavor combination is one of my favorites, with tart lemon, savory artichokes, and protein-rich chicken forming a healthy meal that's great after a long day at work or after an afternoon workout. Ghee, fish sauce, and sweet onion really take this dish over the top!
12. Paleo Chicken Piccata
This chicken piccata is a slightly different take, with a crispy almond flour coating and the fabulous flavors of brown onion, crushed garlic, capers, lemon juice, parsley, and chicken stock. Cooking everything in coconut oil ensures that you're getting maximum nutrients!
13. Roasted Cauliflower With Tomatoes and Capers
Here's a fantastic dish that's deceptively simple to make and will leave you craving it daily. This cauliflower, tomatoes, and capers dish is caramelized and covered with a saucy olive oil coating combined with Greek seasoning or, if you don't have that, dried oregano.
14. Cardamom Spiced Butternut Squash Soup With Capers
This soup is silky and rich without being too heavy, and it's laced with autumn-friendly flavors of nutmeg, cardamom, and paprika. Coconut milk makes it deeply creamy, while sautéed capers are a deliciously salty topping that you'll want to put on ALL your soups.
15. Caponata
This vegetable dish is perfect as a side or even an entrée with eggplant, sweet bell pepper, red onion, garlic, tomato paste, capers, and lots of seasonings. Apple cider vinegar and cayenne give it a tart heat, while coconut sugar (to replace the sugar) evens out the flavors.
16. Lemon Caper Citronette
This light and easy dressing tastes so good, and it works well for a variety of different salads. You'll make it with garlic, Dijon mustard (choose a good quality one), lemon zest, capers, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
17. Roasted Salmon With Capers
If it involves salmon, I'm hooked already. This fantastic meal couldn't be any simpler to make, too! It's a great weeknight dinner with wild caught salmon, olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper, fresh chopped thyme, and a jar of capers. That's all you need, plus half an hour!
Photo: Gourmande in the Kitchen
18. Quick and Spicy Tomato Vegetable Soup
This easy soup comes together super quick, and has a lovely spicy flavor to it. You'll need crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, fennel, cauliflower, broccoli, haricots verts, salt packed capers, olives, lemon, parsley, and just a few other ingredients to make it happen.
19. Cauliflower, Snap Peas, and Tomato Salad
This easy salad has chopped capers throughout to boost the flavor, as well as cherry tomatoes, orange zest, dill, mint, cilantro, toasted hazelnuts, and a simple dressing made from garlic, whole grain mustard, Spanish sherry vinegar, walnut oil, salt, and pepper.
20. Roasted kohlrabi and Smoked Salmon Nicoise Salad
Wow, would I like to open my lunch at work to find this waiting for me? You bet! This smoked salmon salad is everything savory and delicious, and it's full of protein—so it's perfect for lunch if you tend to head to the gym in the afternoon. Capers, eggs, salmon, and veggies—yum!

Waiting really is what we have been doing since the journey to our two beautiful daughters has started. Whether it is waiting on documents to come in the mail, dr. appointments, MONEY, home study, or the USCIS. Oh and can we say the deadlines that go with the waiting, oh and the forms making sure they are correct oh and the redoing of documents when their incorrect. Ok so this post sounds like I am complaining by no means am I doing that, but what I am saying is that God has taught me patience.
Right now we are waiting on the USCIS and getting our fingerprint appointments, along with the deadline that we need to meet so we can go get our beautiful daughters. Have you ever been so close to something, and it seem like you will never get there. A lot of hurdles have been thrown our way during our journey, some that we knew would come up others that we didn't, but God has been there the whole time with us and helping us to get over them all. I am just so ready to go get my beautiful daughters and have them home with us. They have a mommy and daddy who are ready to shower them with all the love that we have to give, a brother and sister who can't wait to be a big brother and a big sister, grandparents who can't wait to spoil them rotten, aunts and uncles both biological and adoptive that can't wait to love on them and spoil them rotten, and so much more.
Please pray that we hear something from the USCIS this week or beginning of next!!! My God is bigger than any hurdle and he has called us to these two beautiful little girls and for these two beautiful little girls to be apart of our family!

Happy Birthday Ellee
Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet Ellee! Today started out as a hard day, I was really upset thinking about how my girl was spending her birthday in an orphanage half way around the country, not getting cake, not getting ice cream, not getting presents, not getting showered with love on her special day, and it really depressed me. I have a very rough morning, and for anyone who knows me I love to smile, I love to laugh, but today it just wasn't happening. It was so bad that I thought I was going to have to leave work early because I was so down and out. Just when I thought my day was probably going to get worst IT DIDN'T it got SO MUCH BETTER....I went to my computer and opened my email and to my surprise I had an email from another Reece's Rainbow family and it said that they were currently adopting their daughter from the same orphanage that our daughter Ellee is in and she was able to get some pictures what I didn't know was that she got a video to, and when I opened and watched the video I cried like a big ole baby :) It completely changed my mood and the way I saw things the rest of the day. Now to just hurry up and get my girls home, so they do not have to spend another birthday, or holiday alone.

sorry blog followers
I wanted to first say I am sorry for not blogging lately, been super busy with getting everything ready for our final visits with our SW. Yes I said final visits!!!! She came to our house on Tuesday and we had a great visit then we had to drive 3 hours to where she is located at on Thursday. We did our seperate interviews and then our interview together. To say the least it was interesting. It was a great visit though and she said that she is going to try to get everything done by Tuesday that way we can get everything in and finished. We are praying for an early appointment with the USCIS and a quick approval. We are almost finished and then we will go get to see our beautiful daughters! God is so good to us and we forget to say thank you for all the little blessings and big blessings that he provides in our lives daily. I need to remember to thank him more, and remember if it weren't for him then we would not be able to say that we are blessed with two beautiful daughters!
Please keep us in your prayers! :)
Please keep us in your prayers! :)

I know there aren't many who read this blog, but for those of you who do, I have a question.
Some friends & classmates and I were discussing the pros/cons of the "friends with benefits" thing. All individuals were/are currently unmarried, some divorced, some never married & one was widowed. The age range was 23 - 50+ years and was mostly women, only a few men & they were younger. I felt as though most of those involved were saying what they wanted other to hear, not their real thoughts/feelings/opinions. As I sat & listened to the discussion, there seemed to be no real truth coming out of anyone. I thought if I posed the question here in cyberspace, maybe I'd hear some real honesty. So, here's the question:
What do you think about "friends with benefits" and why?

Weird stuff......
OK - how is this for strange: I've been divorced for over 7 years, didn't wear my wedding ring for over a year before that. Last week I was driving to work & all of the sudden I freaked out because I got that weird feeling like my ring was missing. I haven't worn a ring on that finger in over 8 years. Why would that happen all of the sudden? Kinda creeped me out. I don't really want to tell my best friend because she over-analyzes everything. It's just weird.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Wow - long time since I posted....
I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted or read any blogs. I really feel out of the loop here. What's been happening??........ well let's see........
Alien #1 turned 15 years old.
Ex-hubby is still stalking me after 7 years - get a life weirdo.
Alien #2 is only 12 & taller than me now too.
The only mouse out of the litter I adopted as mine, died.
My plant that I rescued from sure death at work - it died too.
I haven't killed my children yet.
Summer classes have me snowed under with work & that creates stress.
I'm supposed to student teach in the fall but I don't have my teaching assignments.
Financial aid told me I was SOL to get any grants or loans for the fall semester.
"The" relationship isn't moving along as I had hoped. Probably never will. Why do I bother?
Made a new friend & study partner in my class this summer.
Mom & Dad went to Costa Rica to see my sissy & her hubby - I didn't get a t-shirt.
Overall - things have been overwhelming & I've been feeling rather melancholy lately. Don't understand what's going on.

Babies Everywhere!
Here is a picture of our babies at 2 weeks! PorkChop is the little guy with his eyes open & Sparky is the tiny one in the middle. So far, those are the only two with names because they're the biggest & smallest of the 5 remaining mice (we started with 7). These are also the two that are out of the nest the most. I'm not sure why Sparky is so small, he's always on the top of the heap! Maybe he burns off all the energy staying on top so he doesn't get squished by his siblings. Either way, he's the tiny one and my favorite.
The little ones are all over the cage now & Spots (mommy) has to gather them all in the nest every time she wants to nurse now. It's kinda funny to watch. I'm trying to get a clear video of it so I can post it here. By this time next week we'll be able to tell boys from girls and can separate them into two cages.

1994 mercury sable sedan 3.0 how to remove rear seat?
I found one other topic on this. But i believe it was on removing the seat cushion that you sit on. I am trying to remove my rear back rest. There is no ski pass and i cannot find out how to remove it.
1 Answer
its kinda hard because their bolted down near the bottom. I took a hammer and bent the hooks that hold it at the top and just work around the bolts. The seat is actually easier than the back rest just push in and pull up.

I love my children. I love my husband. I love my calling in the Church. I love my job. BUT-I miss my friends! When I get on Facebook and see all the things my friends are doing together...my heart hurts. I miss talking with them, hanging out with them, laughing, and reminising. In honor of my inner circle of trust I would like to say this:
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...
-Kristen Chenoweth (Wicked)
I want you all to know I love you and I miss you and I hope to spend quality time with all of you soon!

There is no physicality to love, it can't be proven or extracted or quantified.
Yet, it is the greatest form of ecstasy available to mankind.
It is the greatest elusive form that will not take shape till one commits to creating love out of nothing.
Yet, everything around us conditions us not to create it, but destroy and deny it.
However, it could be when one recognises love exists in the universe and we are all creations of love, that it could materialise into ecstasy by the form of numerous creations one could potentially create out of creating love and beauty to the world. It is the air we breathe, the songs we sing, the movements we make. Every part of us is filled with love, and without love, there is no aliveness. For love is aliveness itself.
Love is in the form of dynamic movement between individuals, groups and it radiates out to the universe, that they share the love we have for each other, baking and partaking in it in an endless dance in the cosmos. Love contributes all over the way it is and the way it isn't. Love is the space beyond words. It has never been bounded by space and time, and love will exist even when we are gone, love will remain where it is, and where it isn't. For humans had created the context of love to live into, and from this context, we can create and create, build and build on being magnificent in our love for each other.
I love you. For this, I beat on against the currents like the boats in the sea for the love lives on deep inside me.

Mountain art? I gave up on the world of visual art years ago (and started getting back to..nature) but some photos from recent days have had me fantasizing..
Landscape is the obvious genre for mountain imagery..or sometimes more particularly snowscape..
But just as Van Gogh or Monet found, landscape tends easily towards abstraction..
Or am i suffering from confusion with subliminal figuration? Perhaps you have more of a taste for some Romantic figure painting..?
..with maybe a touch of Giacometti? Or for those with more classic tastes, what about a little still life..or as the Latins would have it naturaleza muerta..but literally?
Here you will permit me a naturalistic digression: i had always assumed that vultures, those great birds charged with keeping the mountains free of rotting cadavers, would have left nothing after them but bone (some vultures, famously the quebrantahuesos or bearded vulture, not even that) and so i was quite surprised to find a few meters away, as the snow melted over the last week, the skin of the beast.
Hey, but where's the art in that? (you may ask..). Hmm, well..look at it like this:
..whaddya think? Not impressed? Let's see if we can do any better..
..or more sombre:
If abstrakshun just ain't your thing, we have still other genres..what about minimalist land art for example..
..or, what might be considered the other extreme, a little mountain pop..!

A couple of folks have noticed that Empire Avenue is time consuming. I hadn't noticed; since I try to keep my involvement down to less than 25 hours a day or so… There are some tools, ideas, and strategies that can help a bit.
Third Party Portfolio Management Tools: When your portfolio is small, you can handle your investing with EA; but as your investments grow, you will need help. I suggest that you check out the tools now; while your portfolio is small. The tools include Avenue.io, insideEAv, and Empire Avenue Tips. There are also a couple of Apple Store apps (EavMogul is one) also. Please comment if you know about those. These tools can automate your buying, selling, and discovery of stocks.
1. Ben Arledge does Avenue.io. It is probably the easiest tool for most folks. There is a charge for some features of the system. http://avenue.io
2. Dennis Dittrich does insideEav. This is the tool I use primarily. Very powerful for slicing & dicing your portfolio, but you seem to need a bit of a tech background to make best use. The system is free; although he accepts contributions gratefully. https://dr-dittrich.de/eav/eav.pl
3. Paul Houston does Empire Avenue Eav Tips. I have struggled a bit getting this one to work. http://empireavenuetips.com/
Social Media Automation: Most of you are familiar with these tools that allow you to post content to multiple platforms at once. I suggest that you move carefully with them. Although they can certainly boost your EA score, they can cost you real engagement and contacts.

Wow, it seems business is going to be good this year for you! The packaging is quite creative. In fact, it's so beautiful that you just might think of using it as décor instead of eating it. This is a perfect gift for my mother on her birthday. She loves sweets!

As the name suggests, advertisements from around the world across mediums. Also provides convenient translations.
Erica Domesek scrapbooks magazine clips and shows her readers how to recreate high fashion with a sewing needle and hot glue gun. Even if you're not into DIY fashion, the archive of projects is pretty cool to flip through.

Speaking of distractions, I paused while knitting a leaf during last night's earthquake, but I kept on going after the shaking stopped. Seriously, I ought to have ducked under a table during the earthquake, but I just couldn't put down my lace! I was counting the stitch pattern and was not about to break my concentration, unless the quake worsened. After all of those elementary school earthquake drills and the 1989 quake, I knew better than to sit there by a glass window and watch the walls shake. I guess I was waiting for the quake to intensify before I took cover, but it never did. Everyone's fine, nothing even fell off the shelves. Anyway, I really hope I'm not so addicted to knitting that I can't even put down the needles/yarn during a natural disaster. If it's true, I'm in trouble!
Back to less scary things (happy halloween). Let's zoom in on the fern leaves!
I was afraid I'd run out of yarn and have to buy another ball just to finish the last bits. Although I knew I should've put in lifelines towards the end, just in case I needed to rip back and end the shawl a little earlier than planned, I didn't do it. Just kept pushing to see how far I could get. This is what was leftover. Yay!
Time to give the shawl a dunk in water and block it out. More details next time.

Summary: (from Goodreads)
Evangeline Theopolis has nightmares about the violent deaths of women she has never met. Her single mother, Olivia, suffers delusions she can't hide. And Malledy, a brilliant young man, may have a disease that will leave him paralyzed and insane. Their lives are about to collide.
On Evangeline's 16th birthday her mother gives her a necklace with an antique key charm—a family heirloom, though no one knows what the key unlocks.
Everything changes. Her mom is hospitalized. Her godmother attempts murder. An ancient Order tries to kill Evangeline, and a lethal sect to kidnap her.
Nothing makes sense—especially Evangeline's own face, which has morphed from geeky to eerily stunning; the ancient key that feels strangely alive against her skin; and the magical abilities she begins to possess.
Evangeline must use her wits and supernatural powers to fight her deadly adversaries and discover her true identity. But can she accept who she really is and save the world?
This is a book that has taken me a while to get around to reading. The reason for this started out to be just because of university work but then, during that time I spent a lot of time communicating with the author and really started to like her. This made me wary when it came to her book because I didn't want to not like it and have to write a negative review when I admire her so much – she has helped me a lot more than I think she realises in the past few months – and so, it is with relief that I write this review today after having read her book and enjoying it immensely. It was an interesting read that really caught my interest and made me want to know more. I loved the way it was set up and I cannot wait to read the second book in this glorious trilogy.
It's all in the history.
I loved the concept of this story. I haven't read many books that focus on mythology or use it within their story but I've always been quite fascinated by it. Ever since I had to study greek theatre for drama, I've always found it an interesting topic. I am letting you know this as I cannot say outright whether the details in Pandora's Key are true or correct but I did find them to be incredibly imaginative. I loved the way that she used the mythology at the beginning of the book. She set the tale up perfectly so that even those with no knowledge of the gods and goddesses were able to understand what was going on. This obviously appealed to me.
I enjoyed where the story went, how it played out and the differences between the characters. I loved all of the different sub-plots that were going on underneath it all and felt that they really brought everything together. I feel that Nancy did a brilliant job of putting enough information out there for her readers without making it boring but also without revealing too much too soon. There was a lot of mystery going on within the pages that really helped to keep the attention of the reader. And the suspense was riveting and really kept the reader wanting to read more to find out what was going to happen next.
The cast play an important role.
I adored the characters in this book! For me characters really help to bring a story to life and I could really believe the characters in this book. I found Evangeline, E, to be a really refreshing character to read. She wasn't a vain character and had little self-confidence, even when her beauty was visibly shown in the mirror. She had a lot to think through and had a lot going on in that little head of hers. I felt that she got stronger as the book went on and I can see her becoming a level-headed protagonist who protects the ones she loves, while also being protected herself. There were times when I wanted to grind her head for the way she was behaving but that's just because she acted in opposite ways to how I would have in those situations!
I found Malledy really fascinating and I liked the way that his illness was depicted in the book. I liked his journey and the way he saw the world and how Nancy really made you think when it came to him. I was surprised at how much I liked his character actually. But really it was Rafe that I really liked. He was so kind and protective and so clearly in love with E that it made my heart ache when she just didn't see it. I liked that he worried about her and tried to help her, but that he was also protective of his mother. A great character that I enjoyed reading about and could really imagine being alive and kicking.
And the critic cries out.
Overall this was a really well written novel. Nancy has a way with words that really pulls you in. I loved her writing style and found it really easy to read. It wasn't too confusing – although the beginning was a bit of a battle but only slightly and once you're in, it gets to be worth it – and it was just an easy and enjoyable read. I liked how everything flowed together, I loved how E really pulled the story along but wasn't just a protagonist who let things happen to her, she had a little backbone in her! I think it was a brilliant set up to what could be an amazing and creative trilogy and I am really looking forward to the release of the second book. I would recommend this book to anyone who like books with greek mythology, anyone who likes a good YA heroine, a lovely and talented author and someone who likes a bit of mystery, suspense and action. Really I just think you should all go and read a copy right now!

So other than endorsing Teddy Coffey, Carly Blaney, Serge Onik, and eventually Emily James on "So You Think You Can Dance" (ALL of whom were eliminated last night! >:|), I have been busy with job searching and other moves to further my career. I haven't really been inspired to writing a "Taking it One 'Stef' at a Time" style blog post, though I am interested in and brainstorming one about Teddy.
So, like I said, I don't like any month going by without a blog post, so here is July's post! Yay!
For the longest time I have been using this blog as my website, but I decided to jump in and actually finally create a website for myself after dabbling in it in the past but never being satisfied. I have been working on my professional website since March. The plan was to take a month to work on it and launch it in April but I got cold feet and kept tweaking it until I finally did publish it in late June. It might still need some decorating, but it looks nice right now. I'm actually hoping to do a photo shoot with my friend Andy at some point to get some professional head shots.
I've also been wondering if I should use different social media accounts just for my professional side. They have been created, but for right now I am just using the social media I have always been using. They seem to be working out thus far. I will let you know if anything changes.
So, here is my website! :)
Also, don't worry, "Taking it One 'Stef' at a Time" will still be here for my personal musings. ;)
Let's see how this works out!

As you may have read online, the trailer for The Evil Dead remake has leaked. I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Look, I'm just as opposed to superfluous remakes as the next frothing horror junkie, but I want this film to succeed. After viewing it (video above...see for yourself), all I can say is...really??? They went the shot-for-shot route? C'mon, it looks EXACTLY like the original! For fuck's sake, the score is identical. Even the lead is an eidetic duplicate of Bruce Campbell. Why not just re-release the original?
I wonder how many people will get the joke.

As some of you know I generally talk to God when I drive to work in the mornings. Sometimes it's just a one sided conversation where I repeat the same thing daily. You know, the kind of prayer that resembles..."Now I lay me down to sleep"...except it's the morning version. In other words, the same rote prayer...without any real feeling or depth...you pray every day because you know you need to talk to God. Something like..."Please forgive me for all the bad stuff I did yesterday and help me not to do it today! Keep all my friends and family safe and give us a good day. Amen"...or whatever your version happens to be. Then there are times when I really get into it and pray more earnestly. Talk to God like He's sitting beside me and even ask Him questions. I'm pretty sure that's the kind of prayers He likes best. Sincere, honest, heart felt conversations with Him. Sooo...this is about to become another one of those transparent posts again because the other day...We had one of those conversations...
In the last, almost, three and a half years I have asked some of you more questions than I have asked in my entire life. I do the same thing with God. Sometimes He lets me know beyond any doubt what the answer is. So my main question the other day was..."How can I get to know you better, in a deeper way? How do I get closer to YOU!" Immediately it was..."Adore, you have to adore Me." Right then I knew it was an answer from God because adore is a word I just don't use. I don't think I have ever adored anyone. So I just kind of laughed and said, "God, I know this must be coming from you because I don't even know what it really means or how to do it." Which...I hate to admit it, but...I was telling the truth! Anyway, eventually I got to work and really forgot about it for a while. Then a day or two later I was reading a devotional book called,Passionate Prayer. I couldn't believe what it said, Adore God In Prayer. Every single day in that week had a section called, Adore God In Prayer. In fact, what I had totally missed the first week was, everyday in the book has a section called...Adore God In Prayer. Amazing isn't it!! I am a little slow at times but I think I'm catching on now.This is what God wants me to do, adore HIM! So...I looked up the word adore to get the exact meaning. Adore...To love intensely, love with your entire heart and soul. WOW! Can't get a whole lot plainer than that can it?
In the book it says, "it's a life changing experience when you learn to walk and talk with God." So...obviously, the first thing I need to work on is probably not the same thing you need to work on. For me, learning to love with my entire heart and soul is the main thing. Adore HIM! It might be the same for you or it might be something entirely different. Whatever it is, the one thing we need to remember is this...God doesn't want me, or you, to stay this year...where we ended last year. We all need to break out of our boxes and grow in Him. Whatever it takes! Learn to talk with God about everything.
This is a quote from Oswald Chambers;
"Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on the wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God."
Mark 1:35 (New King James Version)
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
Who else could set a better example for us than JESUS??

LUXEMBOURG -- The European Commission has crafted a new Common Fisheries Policy for Europe in an attempt to revive collapsing fish populations and keep the European fishing industry alive at the same time.
Fisheries Commissioner Franz Fischler presented the plan to the Fisheries Council in Luxembourg on Tuesday and was able to achieve political agreement on some key points.
The Council, composed of EU Fisheries Ministers, recognized that too many boats competing for too few fish are placing an intolerable level of pressure on the fish in European waters.
For the first time they agreed on regulatory measures for deep sea fish species which, according to scientific advice, are too heavily exploited and potentially outside safe biological limits.
Fischler said, "I am convinced that it is more socially responsible to do everything that can be done to reduce fishing effort on stocks that are under threat, even if this inevitably means a smaller fleet, than doing nothing but just watch fishermen lose their jobs for lack of fish to catch."
"Inertia is costing 8,000 EU fishermen their jobs every year," the commissioner said. "How many more jobs must we lose before we say 'enough is enough' and take the necessary measures to restore fish stocks to levels that will ensure the sustainability of our fisheries?"
In Luxembourg on Tuesday, the Council reached a political agreement on a Commission proposal fixing the fishing opportunities for a number of deep sea fish species for 2002 and general political conclusions on the proposal regarding specific access requirements and associated conditions applicable to fishing for these species.
As the two proposals are closely linked, they were discussed as a package and will be formally adopted together, once the European Parliament has given its opinion on the second proposal.
Total allowable catch (TAC) limits have been agreed for black scabbardfish, blue ling cod, greater silver smelt, ling cod, orange roughy, red seabream, roundnose grenadier and tusk. Once the TAC regulation has been adopted, measures will be also put in place to limit fishing of a larger number of species.
Vessels targeting deep water fish will have to hold a specific licence granted by EU Member States. The capacity of those vessels must not be greater than that of the vessels which in any one of the years 1998, 1999 or 2000 landed more than 10 metric tonnes of deep sea fish.
It will be illegal for vessels which do not carry the special fishing permit for deep sea species to retain on board, land or transship more than a certain amount of those fish.
In order to learn more about these species and their ecosystems, independent scientific observers will be placed on board vessels carrying licences to harvest deep sea fish according to a sampling plan to be submitted by Member States.
Fishing activities will be monitored closely through the vessels' satellite monitoring system. Additional information will have to be recorded in the vessels' logbooks including details of fishing gear used and the time spent in the water. Catches of deep sea species will only be landed in designated ports.
The management scheme for deep sea fish stocks will be reviewed and adapted as required on the basis of a report to be submitted by the Commission by June 2005.
The compromise reached by the Council follows the main thrust of the Commission proposals but also takes into account new data regarding fishing for these species by Member States' fleets as well as the most recent scientific advice on these stocks issued by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea last week.
It also opens the way for the extension of the scope of conservation measures fixing fishing possibilities for these species to cover other species which are not included in the present TAC regulation, such as deep sea sharks. This initiative also opens the ground for a future multilateral management of these stocks.
"The results of the Council send a clear signal that the EU is serious about establishing conservation measures to ensure sustainable fisheries, especially for vulnerable species such as deep water fish. With these measures the EU is taking the lead in the effort to regulate deep sea fisheries also in international waters," Commissioner Fischler said.
WWF activists dressed as fish presented the European Fisheries Ministers with a letter calling on governments not to block reform of what they said is "Europe's failed Common Fisheries Policy." The letter, addressed particularly to the Fisheries Ministers of Spain, France and Portugal, was signed by thousands of WWF supporters.
"The truth is that fish stocks are severely depleted and cannot sustain Europe's fishing fleet at its current size," said WWF European Fisheries campaign director, Karl Wagner. "Tough decisions have got to be made - and that is what some politicians find so unacceptable. Decisions with serious implications for employment in fishing communities are not easy. There is a case for more measures to help the coastal areas most affected by restructuring."
The very future of European fisheries depends on its success of the forthcoming reform of the Common Fisheries Policy, Commissioner Fischler says. He blamed short sighted measures, inadequate monitoring of fishing activities, wide differences in penalties, public aid which has often encouraged fleet overcapacity instead of eliminating it, and insufficient involvement of stakeholders for the collapse of fish populations.
On June 17, the commissioner is hosting the first Internet chat dedicated to the new Common Fisheries Policy. The chat will take place after the European Commission will have presented its proposals for the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.
The chat will be live from 18.00 to 20.00 CET in all 11 EU official languages.
Questions may be sent in all 11 languages in advance to: email@example.com. Questions should be as short as possible, 256 characters maximum.

From the first minute of this year, it has always been pretty awful. This year has been rough... I've been through a hell of a lot, perhaps HELL being the key word. This time last year, it had only been five months since my mom passed away... it was the darkest point of my life. I look at myself in the mirror today and I see a completely different person. I see someone that has learned from grieving, loss, heartbreak... I see a woman that has confidence in herself, responsibility, stability, courage and direction toward her life. I'm becoming the woman that I've always wanted to be... and as much that it terrifies me, I'm happy to be evolving into her. I've been through a lot of shit, but I've always been able to pull myself out of the wreckage. I owe that to my mom... she taught me how to be a strong, independent and intelligent woman. I'm going to do fine... more than fine... because of her and because of me. I'm ready for 2013... I'm going to make this year exactly what I want it to be.
so, here's to 2013!

I write because I am talking to myself. But I also write because I know that somewhere out there is the woman who needs to know; to hear what God has said to me, because it is what He is saying to her.

Babies, Sleep Deprivation, and NO MORE DEPRESSION
I am thinking I'll jot this down for myself, but I also know God may use it to comfort another sleep deprived mommy.
Hunter has been waking up at least every two hours at night for the last six months. At the beginning, it was more frequent: every hour, sometimes half an hour or 45 minutes.
(I think he was trying to replicate the womb- to find that environment that met the expectations he developed during the first nine months of his life. He would sleep if he was held, so I held him as much as I could.)
He also had some digestive issues, so I never felt right about just leaving him in his crib to cry. There are many reasons, but all of them seemed to lead to a very tired mommy getting up again and again in the middle of the night!
So, how have I been coping? Because sometimes I felt like I just COULD NOT go on.
1. At the beginning when he was small I kept a very dim lamp lit in the room so that I could read scriptures while I nursed. Sometimes I just read one and then meditated on it over and over. It helped to keep my mind centered on what was right. Any one who has been sleep deprived (or battled depression) knows that this is of extreme importance. Have TRUTH ready and available and fix your mind on it over and over.
2. I kept worship music playing in Baby's bedroom night and day. It changed the spiritual atmosphere of that place that I spent so much time not sleeping. It made a way for the Spirit of God to be a source of great comfort to me.
3. I prayed. I told God EVERYTHING. I admitted all, held nothing back, made no pretense. I wept, I begged, I whispered his Word to Him. I praised Him, and whatever else I needed to do. I stayed in connection with Him through prayer, even when it was terribly painful.
4. I thanked Him. I didn't do this perfectly, but I did make a point of being grateful for even basic things, like baby's life, his health, his beauty, his personality.
5. I prayed for others. This took my mind off of my self and my own suffering.
6. I just did it, without thinking about whether or not it was right that so much sleeplessness be required of me. I focused on showing baby compassion, and this fed me. To make happen for someone else what I so badly needed for myself gave me strength. And I reminded myself that the feelings of terrible fatique would pass, and once this day (or night) was over, I would have accomplished one more day in this period of my life and it would be that much closer to being behind me. But I also reminded myself of the sacredness of these days with precious infant, and that once they were past I could never revisit them, no matter how much I might want to. I thought of those in my life who longed to be holding a baby the way I was, and I chose to appreciate the night time moments, even though they included pain.

Greater even than Me
It is quiet, and dim. Worship music plays softly in the background, and shadows fall softly against baby's face. I trace the line of his cheeks, his hair, his ear with my fingers. Finally there is a solace- a break from the business and noise. Here everything seems to make sense: this sacrifice of my life, my strength, my very self. Here the great demands placed on my life by one human being seem right, even necessary. I lean my head back and murmer scriptures, and silent prayers. Here, there is a peace. A break from the incessant inner and outer noise that has been my life these last few days.
But tomorrow will invade soon, just like it did the day before. A day of demands placed on a woman who has nothing left to offer. Even the boy in the gospel story had fishes and loaves to present to Jesus, but this woman has only inner brokeness. I have offered my time, my effort, my strength, my sleep, even my very food and drink, and still I feel surrounded by my own failures and shortcomings and the expectations of neglected children, neglected housework, neglected lover. I can't do this. It is true. I have nothing else I can give.
So I lock myself in the bathroom, and in a brief moment alone I open up my yawning chasm before the Lord. I tell Him my grim selfishness, all my ugly complaints. I tell Him of my great inner horror, and that I don't feel I can go on. Even the intense, poignant, amazing beauty of my relationship with baby is draining my joy after 4 months of night wakings; never less than two, often at least 6 times I respond to his cries and gently lift him out of his crib; I pull him to my chest and offer comfort- offer the very thing I don't know how to find. The one thing I feel such a desperate and urgent need for. My innermost being is desperate- a beggar.
And in this place of inner deficit and depravity, and full honesty before God I can think of only one thing that is even uglier than a selfish mother and self focused wife.
It is a cross. It is a perfect Savior born for murder; born as a delicate and fragile baby, whose mother woke at night to feed Him, just like I feed my baby. A holy infant, destined for a crucifixion. It is a son of man who never sinned, and yet BECAME sin for me. He didn't just die on a cross to forgive me, but He, the Innocent Beautiful, BECAME the inner horror that I don't know how to face. And not just for me- He became the inner horror and ugliness of all mankind. All of us. And He bore the full weight of the wrath of Holy God for that depravity which He became.
So I ponder the awful wonder of a God who could love me that much. To become my horror, so that I could leave it behind. So that I wouldn't have it! And a certain inner stillness comes. Not completely a peace, not just yet, but a soberness and a stillness that is greater than the turmoil around me.
And I need that.
I need to know that there is something; Someone, so much greater than my sin.

Great site plotting progress and popularity of viral videos.Quite interesting to see that most of them aint ads.
I like to fuck things up
The day Facebook died
The day Facebook died
by: Ross Mc Currach – 11-12-2007 23:02
I used to enjoy going over my friends little blurbs, that little snippet letting me know what was going on in his life, just to reassure me, that if one day I met him in a station, a bar or an office I would know that he was now with that girl, had that job,what he would look like and that it was his birthday two days later.
Now to just leave him a little message, I saw you from the bus/car/metro, and that we should have a drink one day;I have to go down what even the most amateur webdesigner would consider to long to scroll, finding out on the way that he is now a vampire, that he has a sparkly ginger bread man growing out of a pot,that he must really be into viral,that there are about 250 email adresses that I'm not allowed to accept and that 2 people have voted him most sexy.
The day Facebook died,
was the day they permitted third-party applications.
It like so many other web apps has grown too fast too soon and out of control. The advent of advertising on Facebook was heralded as its continuing viability and that Facebook was there to stay.It came too late. Amidst the information we receive daily from a facebook profile it is no longer possible to discern clear content, therefore a brand. People are getting wary of apps, people are getting weary of messages from Facebook and therefore losing confidence in the system. Causing them to stop visiting each others profiles users are now "hiding" in Facebook. Watching videos on the home page and reading private messages, no longer the click through effect that they had hoped for.
I think a little lesson that web developpers, planners, all involved on social projects like facebook have to learn is don't be greedy, if your system is good we'll continue to go and we will more importantly stay.And we'll wait for you to put together a system so that your business is a profitable one. Google applied that technique, Msn too.

Our master bedroom was Mammy's bedroom. Which she had kept the same way for all the years I can remember.
Between the day Mammy died and the day we closed on the house, we had taken all of her furniture that we wanted to my parents' attic until we could replace the carpet and get the walls painted.
Since we were using my cream-colored wrought iron bed from my parents' house, I decided that the giant dresser and mirror of and chest from Mammy's bedroom needed to be painted to match. Josh, daddy and all the other able-bodied men were working so I took it upon myself to move all the solid mahogany furniture from their attic, down the steps, down the garage steps, up into my car then out of my car at my house where I could paint them. I noticed how bad my knee hurt, but I was WAY too determined to get the pieces painted.
The painting was a disaster. I had to sand the furniture until my fingers wanted to bleed AND bugs kept flying into the white paint making little tracks or getting stuck, making me repaint over again.
But, I finally got them completed and moved (once again, by myself because I'm stubborn and impatient) into our bedroom.
I found a silver lamp at TJ Maxx and added a white shade for the nightstand and spray painted my old hot pink lamps with a much softer pale yellow to match the duvet and a pink ribbon around the top of the old white lampshade to put on the chest with the TV.
Then I used my Mema Kay's old mirrored tray to put jewelry and an earring tree on to keep the top of the other dresser looking junky.
With so much empty space on the walls, I wanted to find silver frames for pictures to put in a collage over the bed, but the ones I found were SO expensive. Instead, I bought un-finished wooden frames from Michaels and once again used the Rustoleum spray paint to make them the color I needed.
The room looked great. With our paisley Ralph Lauren duvet that coordinated with our blue walls, I was very pleased with the outcome.

However, the next few days I noticed the knee pain even more. And it hurt. Bad.
Turns out, I put entirely too much stress on my knee moving all the dressers, heavy mirror and drawers all that way and I'd chipped a piece off my femur right where it met knee cap. Which then tore all the cartledge between my patella and femur. Hence the surgery last August.

So, that's how my great-grandma's house became my and Josh's house. It is still weird to think about owning a home that once belonged to the matriarch of the Harrell family, and I love that I was able to keep the house in the family while still making it feel like our home.

This Thursday, May 18, Professor Ruth Ellen Kocher will discuss Third Voice (Tupelo Press, 2016) with Ryan Warner of "Colorado Matters" (Colorado Public Radio). For Third Voice, Professor Kocher received the Independent Publisher Award for Poetry and was a finalist for the 2017 Colorado Book Award in Poetry, the Rilke Award for Poetry and the Binghamton University Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award.
Here's how to listen to her conversation with "Colorado Matters" on May 18th:
"Third Voice asserts lyric beyond personal expression and drama beyond the stage, using the spectacle of minstrelsy as a deformation of mastery in an audaciously conceptual yet visceral performance." Read more about Third Voice on the Tupelo Press website here.
Read Ruth Ellen Kocher's interview, "The Un/Masked and the Minstrel: A Conversation with Ruth Ellen Kocher About Third Voice," with Oliver de la Paz, for the Los Angeles Review of Books, here.

|One last group photograph taken before saying goodbye to our hosts, Mr Liman Cama Kawei and his wife Ms Lim (林彩英).
It was indeed an interesting night fishing with the Orang Asli boys with their homemade spear guns and also sleeping under the thousand stars on the ground in a deserted island.
Sleeping at 2am and waking up at 6.30am to see the beautiful site of this island (N5.45466 E101.31846). Two of us slept on hammock and the rest on the ground sheets beside a small campfire.
7.01am - We departed the island for the one hour journey back to the jetty.
8.03am - Arrived at the jetty.
9.30am - What about durian for breakfast?
10am - We departed Liman's house for Sitiawan. However, we had one last drive around the Kemar settlements for more durians to buy.
1pm - Stopped at Restoran Dong Jing, Sg. Siput for lunch. It was home sweet home after the lunch. Two vehicles to Sitiawan and one each to Ipoh and KL.
Total expenses excluding transport for the 3day adventure was about RM60 per pax. I must say it was a very very cheap and memorable adventure. Looking forward for another adventure in the near future.
To the four drivers: Boss Ng, Tan Yoke Tian, Ah Hoon and Francis Choong (Ah Fatt), we would like to salute and thank you for your safe driving up and down the dangerous 54km mountain dirt road.
|6.30am - Both Ah Thai and Boss Ng slept on hammock while I slept on the ground with my floor mat.
|6.35am - Ah Thai just woke up and still looking quite sleepy. On the left is where I slept on the ground.
|The five Orang Asli boys still sleeping soundly on their ground sheet. They must be very tired diving.
|6.53am - Oh My God! I suddenly realised that we were all sleeping on the ground beside this dead tree. Luckily there was no strong wind or thunderstorm to bring down the branches. Otherwise it would be a one way ticket for us.
|7.01am - Getting ready to go back which was an hour journey to the jetty.
|The Orang Asli boys in their boat.
|We camped on this small island for the night.
|It is always safer to stay on small island as it does not have animals. I am not sure about snakes.
|Boss Ng holding his camera is a professional photographer from Sitiawan. Hi likes to take scenery and small rare insects.
|7.15am - We could see the Temenggor dam at a distance.
|Another beautiful small island with chalets.
|7.17am - The Temenggor hydro electric power plant. This Hydro Power Plant with a design capacity of 348 MWe has 4 unit(s) commissioned in 1978. It is operated by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).
|There was slight rain and we could see the thick mist on the hills and as well as above the water.
|With slight rain we could see the clouds above the water. This picture was well taken by Boss Ng.
|7.55am - We drove through these gigantic dead trees still standing tall in the water. It was an eerie feeling among the dead trees.
|8.03am - Approaching the jetty and trying to park our two boats.
|8.14am - We were unloading our gears and the icebox of fishes onto our pickup truck parked nearby.
|The is the first 3.5kg Kaloi fish speared by Orang Asli.
|This is the second 3.5kg Kaloi fish speared by Orang Asli.
|A box full of fishes speared by Orang Asli.
|We would like to thank this five Orang Asli boys who were with us for the overnight fishing. They caught all the fishes for us to take home while we caught nothing.
|Its confirmed, a total of 7kg for the two fishes.
|9.30am - What about durian for breakfast? We practically had durian for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What a durian adventure!
|I took a picture with Mr Liman for remembrance. Mr Liman has only one leg as he lost a leg during the Malayan emergency in the 60s.
|All the sisters were getting ready for the long journey home.
|9.45am - Never leave the place without taking all the durians home.
|Everybody helped to carry the durians into the vehicles.
|10am - We departed Liman's house and had one last drive around the Kemar settlements for more durians to buy.
|10am - We drove around the Kemar settlements for more durians.
|A good bargain for RM1 a durian and we took it all.
|10.29am - The river crossing on the journey back.
|11.11am - Arrived at the timber logging camp.
|1pm - Stopped at Restoran Dong Jing, Sg. Siput for lunch.
|Lunch was sponsored by Mr Tan Yoke Tian. Thank you very much.
|Our 3.5kg Kaloi fish on the table. I must say that the restaurant fried the fish very well as it tasted very good.
|It was home sweet home after lunch. Two vehicles to Sitiawan and one each to Ipoh and KL.
Day 1 (19.08.2016) – Sitiawan to Temenggor Lake Gerik
Day 2 (20.08.2016) – Temenggor Lake Fishing Adventure
Day 3 (21.08.2016) – Temenggor Lake back to Sitiawan

Self Examination Questions: The Sixth Commandment (part 2)
Salomon Liscovius, from Ev. Luth. Gebets-Schatz
4. Haven't my actions, now and then, been impudent and thoughtless? [thus revealing trust in myself instead of God, and my failure to appreciate my vulnerability to sexual temptation? Vanity, arrogance, and irresponsibility make a person vulnerable to lust.]
5. Haven't I often leant my ears to impure conversations, my eyes to look at lewd people, pictures, or other causes of stumbling? Haven't I myself given offense to others through suggestive, unseemly words?
6. Have I guarded myself earnestly from all impurity, fornication, and whoring, regardless of what other names they may go by?
7. Have I avoided idleness, gluttony, drunkenness, evil company and slutty or sexually suggestive clothing?

(CNN)Four assailants wearing police uniforms -- including two suicide bombers -- attacked a police headquarters in eastern Afghanistan's Logar province, killing 20 police officers and injuring eight others, a government spokesman said Tuesday.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in Pole Alam, the provincial capital, group spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in an email.
One suicide bomber detonated his explosives at the entrance to the headquarters, allowing three attackers to enter the complex, said Din Mohammad Darwish, a spokesman for the governor.
A second suicide bomber detonated in a canteen where police personnel were having lunch, and the other two attackers were killed in a gun battle with security forces, Darwish said.

What a great time we had at our first Plant-A-Palooza preview party and rare plant auction on April 22. Despite rainy weather, our friends and garden enthusiasts had a blast in the Gardens- dining on our gourmet picnic fare, enjoying refreshing cocktails, shopping our plant sale and bidding/outbidding each other on a plethora of silent auction items. Thanks go to McCurdy Auction Services for an outstanding and humorous live auction, with some unique plants going to wonderful homes. This event was sponsored by Kaw Valley Greenhouses, The LDF Companies, McCurdy Auction, Justus Fugate, Law Offices of Henry & Mathewson, P.A. and Elton Parsons.

This last Sunday, September 3rd, marked the end of our GAS (Groveland Art Stroll) season. With three strolls this summer, it was a great stretch and super introduction of a new event to the area bringing oodles of locals, friends, family and new comers from miles and miles around.
We noticed however that not all the participants were strolling. Some were sauntering. We would like to keep this a strolling event open to familys and leave the sauntering for other days, or even the nights. Participants took home a great deal of artwork, artists gabbed and commissioned with strollers and merchants sold their wares to the town's guests. Restaurants had a busy day feeding the frenzie.
We can't wait until next year to start it all up again and hope to find a whole lot more artists to fill all the nooks & cranies of our cute downtown with their creative pieces and that those who so richly benefit from the event choose to participate in its planning and implementation this next year. Its a big load for one person to handle the whole thing.

Today was lawn-mowing day, and the kids helped me prepare by gathering up all the dead branches that had fallen from the Green Ash trees in the front yard.
As we were piling them up near the woodpile, to use for kindling next winter, Scooter was tagging along with us. With yesterday's near-tragedy clearly still on their minds, one of the kids suddenly said something really poignant:
"I'm glad we're not collecting these sticks so we can burn Scooter."
Yes, I told them, I had just been thinking the same thing.
