This weekend was the debate tournament. Eric did quite well. I don't really understand the whole process, but he was pleased, and everyone said he had improved since the last tournament ( Read more... )

Howdy folks! Well, a week or two ago Mom and I noticed Bucky paying special attention to Zebu. We did the math, and decided that it was too early (or too late, depending on which way you look at it) for this sort of thing. So Eric and Uncle Mark arranged a pen to keep him in inside the barn. This last weekend they put him in there. I was ( Read more... )

It's that time again folks, Season 2 of Survivor Youth Group! This year's theme? Food ( Read more... )

Dad just got this book (called The Impossible Takes Longer). It's filled with the 1,000 wisest things ever said by Nobel Prize Laureates (at least according to David Pratt, who compiled them). Some of these quotes are downright funny, so I thought I'd share a few ( Read more... )

Hi, I'm Bob the Tomato, and I need your help! Okay, so I'm not Bob the Tomato, but I do need help. Mom signed me up for an Individual Event at the debate tournament in March. The event is entitled "Prose." I'm supposed to take a section from a work of literature and give an interpretation. Unfortunately, there's a very strict formula I have to ( Read more... )

On Wednesday night we had a monster blizzard. I mean really. They say we got an inch of snow every hour. Of course, that was the day Mom and I drove to Saginaw to get my senior pictures taken. We knew the place was on State Street, right before Mackinaw. But when we got there, there was no sign. So we drove around the block, hoping to sneak up on ( Read more... )

Greetings all Livejournal enthusiasts! I apologize for dropping of the face of the Earth there for a while. We got a filter that blocked lj. Now at long last the one on Eric's computer is broken (I didn't do it, I swear!). That means that, at least for the time being, I can post again! WAAAHHOOOO ( Read more... )

For those of you keeping score at home, August's book of the month is a little different. Liz and I have each acquired a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales. The book is about 500 pages long, so we decided to simply read a given number. That number is 31, because the fairy tales are very short. In my copy, that's about 150 pages. So far, I'm enjoying them ( Read more... )

Okay, here you go. On Thursday Mom, Dad, and I visited the University of Findlay, in Findlay, Ohio. I liked it a lot. The barn is about four miles from the main campus. It was kinda hard to tell what the barn is like during the school year, because most of the horses were gone for the summer, and the few people who were there were busily ( Read more... )

Never fear, I will get to my trip to Findlay. In the mean time though, these were too good to pass up. :)
