My friend and I went to the Bigfoot Discovery Museum in Santa Cruz yesterday and listened to the tour guide talk about his experiences for an hour. It was awesome.

Prepped for my classes, harassed some guy over voicemail about signing up for Pre-Cana, had an internet fight with Ben...

Oh, sorry. Fun. Hmm. No, not really.

Spent a day scrapbook shopping with my best friend.  We also went to Ocean Beach near San Diego for Mexican food and antique shopping.  My dog came along for the ride -- he's PASSED OUT from all the excitement as I type this.  (He's still a pup and gets fussed over a bit.)

Spent the weekend with my sister and brother.  On Saturday night we went out for dinner with my cousin and his wife and my sister's boyfriend.  We ended up at an Irish Pub with live music.  Yeah, it was a great weekend. 

Oh, and Irish car bombs are good.

Sorry, I just saw this. We had seen The Great and Powerful Oz, which is the new Disney prequel to The Wizard of Oz about how the wizard got to Oz in the first place. I didn't go in with any expectations, so I thought it was really cute, and I thought it had great continuity with the original movie. My fiance liked it overall, too, but he doesn't care for Mila Kunis, so she kind of ruined it for him a little bit. The movie got a bunch of terrible reviews, though.  :-\

Ooh, I went to Trader Joe's and bought some nice food and booze and a big bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap, and then I went next door to the second-hand book store and picked up a copy of the Onion's "Our Dumb Century" which is lol, if you must know.

At the resort we spent our honeymoon at there were peacocks roaming around everywhere.  You'd be walking down a path or sidewalk and a peacock would cut right in front of you.  It was pretty cool.

It's really good.  The conductor did something kinda unique.  It was an "Insights" program.  Instead of playing the entire symphony outright, first he gave us a brief talk on the entire thing.  Then he would play for us snippets of the movements and show us similarities to other works (like, apparently Beethoven composed no. 5 and no. 6 alongside each other, and the similarity is striking!  at least esp. in the first movement).  Then he played the first movement in its entirety, then walked us through the second, then played the second, and then walked through 3, 4, and 5 movements and then played them. 

It felt more like an intimate college lecture and performance than a fancy pants orchestra!  It was really cool.  I gained a lot. 

And it was only $20!

The wife and I took one of our priests to dinner and then to a performance of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro the other night.  I gotta say, I have mixed emotions.  We had fun but I seriously hate sitting through opera if I'm not working in the pit.  Plus, it's Mozart, so it's high quality music, but a lot of it's boring.  I've probably sat through 10 or 15 operas but this was only my 2nd time sitting in the audience.  I prefer the pit.  To top it off I asked the wife how much the tickets were and the conversation went like this:

Me: How much were the tickets?
Her: $78
Me: Oh, that's not so bad
Her: Each
Me:  :o

Honestly, I'm a musician married to an artist...I'm not made out of money!

It was good fun.  I like mixing it up on occasion with well dressed people out for a night of good, clean fun.  I like seeing my wife super dressed up and slammin' too, but she actually dresses up quite a bitin her day-to-day.  I had slacks and a coat and my "I am Mr Darcy" tshirt on...Probably the most dressed-down person there.  What can I say, I do so much concert stuff that when I actually get to attend as part of the audience I just like to be comfortable.

Not quite as cultured as the rest of you all, but we spent the first weekend with temperatures in the 70s riding, flying, and shooting.  I finally got to drive the Weedhopper (Hubby's ultralight) without him running behind me holding the wing.  I should be flying soon, if he can calm down enough.  lol  Then a friend took me for a ride in his powered parachute.  The thermals were crazy aloft so it made for a really fun ride.  Next time he said he'd let me have control.  I can't wait!

Then we met some folks that have alot of land that is set up for shooting.  He is a gun dealer and has the whole setup.  We brought our own weapons and then got to shoot the .40 I bought from him.  It was alot of fun.  Even the 4 year old got involved with his bb gun.  He was so cute in his little earmuffs.  So serious.  It's nice to meet decent people.  So all in all it was a really fun weekend after some really bad weeks.  Deo Gratias!

Yesterday was a crazy long good day.

1. Skipped work to take my dad to the museum.
2. Had a nice run through Karl the Fog (https://twitter.com/KarlTheFog).
3. Saw The Veils.
4. Got stuck in bridge construction traffic and had to detour so I had time to listen to their new cd over again.
5. Collapsed into bed and slept like a rock.

Lol, just depends on the pj's.  In college I slept without any as often as not.  I hated when people would come pound on my door late at night: not only would I have to get up, I'd also have to put something on.

Ha. Oh my goodness. No, I was fully clothed! But not as fully as 20 degree weather requires. I didn't have time to put anything else on like a coat or sweater because I was afraid she would dissapear if I didn't dash out after her immedietly. It put me in a foul mood for just a bit.  >:(

Nice!!! I planted dill, oregano, basil, cilantro and parsley. I'm looking forward to making homemade pesto eventually with the basil if we get enough of it.

I often make my own pesto.  I use macadamia and pine nuts which gives it a really creamy taste.

Yes it is.

Pine nuts work, but IMO they're too bitter.

Cashews are an alternative to pistachios.  I have never used macadamia nuts.  We'll have to try that sometime.

A bunch of us locals went down to Chase Field Friday night to watch the AZ Diamondbacks play the Colorado Rockies. Many of them were season ticket holders, and they all decided to sit together for a game, and everyone was invited. Our original intent was to go sit in the bleachers, by the bullpen, and cheer the team on. We found out that tickets we were getting were being comped a few days before the game. Great! So before the game, when we were all meeting, the girl (who was organizing the group) opened the envelope to look at the tickets, and her jaw dropped. The CEO of the Diamondbacks put us ALL right behind their dugout, as a thank you for coming out and supporting the team. Someone had texted and "tweeted" to the kid next to me, saying he saw all of us on ESPN (so much for being incognito, these kiddos had their faces all painted "Sedona Red"). Sure enough, as I was replaying the game through MLBTV, the cameras busted me.

The Dbacks ended up losing that game 6-3, but they took 3 out of 4 in the series and are now tied for first in the NL West.

Many of them were season ticket holders, and they all decided to sit together for a game, and everyone was invited. Our original intent was to go sit in the bleachers, by the bullpen, and cheer the team on. We found out that tickets we were getting were being comped a few days before the game. Great! So before the game, when we were all meeting, the girl (who was organizing the group) opened the envelope to look at the tickets, and her jaw dropped. The CEO of the Diamondbacks put us ALL right behind their dugout, as a thank you for coming out and supporting the team. Someone had texted and "tweeted" to the kid next to me, saying he saw all of us on ESPN (so much for being incognito, these kiddos had their faces all painted "Sedona Red"). Sure enough, as I was replaying the game through MLBTV, the cameras busted me.

The Dbacks ended up losing that game 6-3, but they took 3 out of 4 in the series and are now tied for first in the NL West.
:beer:

You're in Phoenix?  I'm in Phoenix!  I had friends go to that game.

Yup, and home praying that the Dbacks bullpen doesn't get pounded again for the 9th time this season, and blow their lead against the Giants...again!
:banghead:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I'm going to see a movie in 15 minutes. Jurassic Park in 3D. I already know it's going to be fun.

Let us know if this scene is even better in 3D.

That scene didn't seem too different. The car falling out of the tree was pretty cool, and the velociraptors jumping at the ceiling was enough to make me flinch!

It was awesome, Archer. It got pretty emotional at the end when everyone had to say something about my grandfather.

When he decided to tell us all a story, as he usually does, he told of when his parents walked six days distance to Mexico City during the Cristero War.

He's the humblest, holiest man I know, and has great humor.

Well I guess I've done a few things...apparently I'm much more productive without the internet haha.  I spent a day wandering around Point Pelee National Park with my bro - well over 250 species of songbirds migrate through the park each May, and they take a pitstop there at the southernmost tip of Canada.  We were able to pick out 50+, and we're definitely not experts.

Got some more morels, but also grabbed a pile of wild leeks too.  They taste great, kind of a mix between garlic and onions.  I was a bit too late for fiddleheads though.

Last Friday I finally graduated!  It was pretty neat to be announced as "Dr" as I crossed the stage.

And now I'm just getting ready to head out West for a Mumford & Sons concert - to be followed-up by a drive through the Rocky Mountains.  Those should be a fun few days.

We just got home from a three day diving trip to Puerto Gallera, on Mindoro Island, with my buddy Mark and his family.  It was a blast.  Between our two families we have a total of six kids, four who are between one and three years old.  The wives and kids spent the day at the beach or pool while Mark and I did some wreck diving.   

The sea life here in the Philippines is unbelievable.  I'm thinking about buying a good underwater camera since most of the diving areas here which have easy to access boat diving won't let you spearfish.  I'll just have to shoot 'em with a camera, not a spear gun.

Went to my godson's confirmation. 8 hour car drive down with a 6 and 5 year old. My 6 year old had me tell her the story of salvation from Adam to Christ. Visited friends on the way who I haven't spoken to in years but it was like I just talked to them yesterday. Saw my family who I missed. Drank beer in beautiful heat and humidity which I miss. Then another 8 hour car drive with a Chipotle break.

The great thing about a healthy, established trad parish is how everyone gets together afterwards. It's like a fortaste of heaven. I miss that.

And now I have my -- rather odd -- mind wonder if the song she is singing is called "With Auburn Hair" or if she is a musically gifted Medusa.

I went out to dinner last night with hubs. It was a garlic themed restaurant. I had Fra Diablo. He had filet mignon. We shared a garlic ice cream desert. Had to try it. It was very different, not exactly bad, but I wouldn't do it again.

You must live in a big city.

Or maybe Gilroy, CA.

I've never been there, but I've been to the vortex at the red rocks. That would be the closest so far.

Jersey is heavily populated, so there's just lots of lots.... What do they serve by you, Heinsey--food-wise?

I live in a metro area of just about 500,000. There are the usual suspects: TGI Fridays, Applebees, etc. and some fine locally owned Southwest cuisine options. To my delight there are at least four German restaurants and the only 5 Star restaurant in CO is in Colorado Springs, just a few miles from me, no doubt. When Ggregg takes his family there in 2015 on the Colorado leg of his trip, maybe he can splurge for Mrs. Heinrich and me, too.

The Edelweiss is my favorite restaurant in town:

Don't know. That's sounds like a stupid thing to do on a particular day, though.

Yes. It looked about the same as last year. Same overcast windy rainy weather. I almost skipped this tripped because we went again on Tuesday after my mom and sister flew in. Hot and sunny that day. If anyone is planning a trip, I highly recommend Lipan Point. It was the last place we stopped and probably the best.

Just spent a good 2.5 hours playing. During the beta phase I left my char in the resting zones so I have tons of EXP bonus (50% on all EXP) so in that time I've leveled from 11-14. Pretty quick because I spent a bit of time looking for a stupid Anole that was meant to be in a certain area but was a bit more east which annoyed the hell out of me when I found out.

Anyway, whats say you all buy the game so I can make us a Traddy guild?

I keep hearing the California Victory Cannon from my apartment. Go Bears!

QuoteThe California Victory Cannon was presented to the Rally Committee in time for the 1963 Big Game by the class of 1964. It is shot off at the beginning of each game, after each score, and after each Cal victory. Only once, against UOP on September 7, 1991, did the Bears score too many times for the cannon, racking up 12 touchdowns (no field goals) on the lowly Tigers.

Bonus fun fact: Testarossa used to be the Jesuit novitiate and the Jesuits made wine, too. My dad always used to tell us stories about grape-picking during the summers he spent there.

Parchment white interior

No I do not do restoration, that's why I bought one that needs none.

It's an indie pop choir- at the moment we're doing some stuff by Ben Folds.

Edit: ah didn't read your question before ! We sung two songs 1) young love by the mystery jets and 2) white winter hymnal by fleet foxes.

My alma mater, where I incidentally work, is cleaning out its library and tossing hundreds of old books away. Luckily, the only other trad on the faculty, who was my mentor then and now, alerted me of this, and we went through about twenty boxes of books today. I also dumpster dove for the first time in my life.

Found a lot of treasure, like:

Today, came across three French Rev. books and three books on English history. Very archaic, but sturdy. Also one on languages and another a conservative Catholic woman wrote to her soon explaining the revolution in the Church:

Seventeen years ago, when I became a Catholic, a priest told me with pride: the nicest thing about the Church is that everywhere it's exactly the same and nothing ever changes



LOL. Would that he were right (practically speaking)


I'm a bit down that I only rescued the French Revolution volume of the Cambridge Modern History. I'd love to have the rest.

Tomorrow is US history day. Will keep the bibliophiles and voracious readers posted.

Books today are complete jokes compared to these ones.

Good for  you!!!  I'm up to about 640 words. That's kinda sad, but it is a record for me.  At the rate I'm going, I'll get to 50,000 in 2132. Maybe I should start a scifi novel... .

I was supposed to meet a couple of friends after Mass today in Jersey for lunch. Because of the snow storm, a friend and I were "stranded" at the Continental on 2nd street in Philly after the Byzantine Liturgy. We never got to Jersey, but I had a few pints of Great Lakes Nosferatu ale. With that name, I couldn't turn down the beer(I love the movie). I also had an Irish Coffee. My buddy had a few pints and an Eggs Benedict. A great way to celebrate the feast of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception.

Me and my friend were playing truth or dare.

I dared him to dress up in his best suit and a bowler hat and umbrella, and walk into the Royal Bank of Scotland.

And in the most serious face possible, say to the cashier "I would like to invest tuppence safely in the bank please".

(In case you thought I was completely insane, it's a cultural reference, which at the time we believed was quite witty, if only the bank had seen it that way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk23s4hh8M8 )

This past weekend, I went to a couple of events at South by Southwest: first, the Gaming Expo, which was moderately entertaining. Heavy emphasis on virtual reality toys, which I'm not big on, but I did like the gaming "museum" with many many vintage consoles set up for actual playing. The other thing I went to was the Game of Thrones Exhibit, a showcase of many different costumes and props from the television series. The amount of detail on those pieces is truly exquisite.

An Indiana friend of mine regularly raves about the beer from a certain Michigan brewery (Founders), and I've always wondered about it.  Yesterday, I stopped in at my local fine booze establishment, and for the first time ever, they had not one, but like six different brews from Founders, so I bought one of each (except for the one about which my friend texted me "no no no no no").  He's a beer snob, like me, so I just took his advice.

Sort of related, the other day I randomly thought of 2010 when I had to play in a production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd at Arizona State, and how fun it was.  The orchestration is reaaaally simple (13 musicians, I think), so basically 1 person per part, so it was really intimate in the pit (no room to drop a note, or, heaven forbid, play a wrong one), but it was a really good time.

It's a one day biker rally in a small town called Oskaloosa. They have all kinds of vendors (t-shirts, jewelry, leather, etc), food, bands, a bike show, and a car show.  It's held once a month during spring and summer.  People come from all over.  There were even a couple of dune buggies from Missouri.

Yes, we rode up last year.  We started picking up tons of riders just outside Kansas City and couldn't believe how many bikes were on their way up.  We stayed at a family friendly camp ground and stuck with the tamer entertainment and had a blast.  The most fun is watching all the people and seeing the beautiful bikes.  It can get pretty dicey, but if you are on the watch out for yourselves there are ways to do it well.  Fortunately I've got family in the area up there so we made it a family reunion as well.  We hope to do it again soon.

Asked a girl for coffee next saturday, found another girl to give me singing lessons (older, trying to start a studio), going home for the weekend (my friend's birthday tonight), saw Godzilla, planning my Europe trip. Thank you God for all Your blessings!

A bit of a thread resurrection, but I enjoy reading about what other people do, so I might as well try bringing this back to popular attention with my own doings.

Spent the day with a friend in downtown Ventura.  The plan was to hit a bunch of antique stores, but we spent nearly the whole day in just two stores.  Then stopped at a wine bar for a glass before taking a picnic on the beach.  Didn't take any swimming clothes, but we waded into the water and I'm sure looked semi-Victorian.  Then a walk on the pier and home.  Lots of fun.

Sounds like something Arun would do. Maybe you should hit him up next time you are in NZ.

Paintball is fun but my local field closed down so that's pretty much out of the question nowadays.  Private games I tend to avoid due to too much risk of shooting people in the eye since they never seem to keep their masks on.

Today, my wife signed me out of rehab for a few hours so I could go to my son's 4th birthday.  We did a picnic in Brooklyn Bridge Park, invited a few of his friends and they had lots of fun playing at the sprayground.  It was the first time I'd been outside since 2013.  Best day I have had in a long time.

Now I'm back in rehab and super tired but at least tired in a good way for a change

I spent a day and a half scouting for elk in the Sangre de Cristo range. In the video below, you'll see Wolf Springs Ranch and the mountains behind it, which are part of the Sangre range. As WSR is over 55,000 acres, it abuts to the national park and wilderness, where we scouted up to about 10000 feet. Enjoy the video and I'll post pics in a day or two.

The road up to the elk super highway!

Dinner and drinks in Santa Cruz with friends, and then farther down the coast to their grandparents' beach house for the night. Bananagrams and (less fun) volleyball today. In the least fun category, I learned that you should never park under a eucalyptus tree during a coastal fog. Or ever, probably.

Ave Maria! I did not know this. Thank you for the update. The name is due to the effects of the eastern sun on the mountains each morning: a passionate red hue that is spellbinding. Was not able to see this phenomenon, but when I do, pics will most certainly be posted. I live an 1.5 hours to the north so it takes a bit of planning to make some time there.

Yes, Wolf Springs Ranch is quite the setup. A county road cuts through it. As one drives, there are numerous reminders that trespassing, poaching and otherwise interloping is prosecuted with extreme prejudice.

So, so much. I was in Lake County for two days with my entire family (how we managed to coordinate everyone's schedule is beyond me). We rented a boat the first day and went shooting the next.

Yesterday I hosted my BFF's bridal shower for 30+ people. It was awesome because whenever I finished cooking something her mom swooped into the kitchen and did the washing-up.

You're a good friend. I wish I could organize such a thing, but such affairs necessitate having friends first. The miss is in dire need of one.


She and I jointly decorated a cardboard box at a diocesan marriage preparatory course last Saturday. We decided to make it the most intensely symbolic cardboard box that had ever been made at one of these... things. This is the first panel.

Yes. Well, you must walk before you can run.

We each took to illustrating two sides. This is one of hers:

(https://fbcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t1.0-0/10492064_10154357878790612_2704255174295720713_n.jpg)

I call it "in facie ecclesiae". As I commented on a related Facebook posting: The west end of the box, as drawn by the miss, has the portal to a Gothic cathedral. In pre-Reformation England, couples were typically married outside under the portal of the church ("in the face of the church"). My one contribution to this was coloring the door red, in the tradition of English churches, just as the Israelites painted their doors red for the angel of death to pass over them.

I try my best! The guests were a mix of friends and relatives. You could have a co-ed shower to increase attendance. I would volunteer to plan and host if I were in the area. The whole time I was there getting things ready I kept thinking that I should be doing it professionally.

We stay at Edie's Resort! When I was a kid it was every summer without fail for two weeks. As we got  older and the area started getting run down, we would go to Lake Tahoe instead. We still like to go back to those cabins once in a while, though.

Just had a week off so I went and stayed pretty much off the grid - woke up to see sunruse each morning and listened to loons and eagles calling across the lake.  Went fishing.  A lot.  Also learned to flyfish and landed a bass on my fifth cast.  Kayaked a lot too.  Saw deeper, darker night skies than most people ever will be able to.  Took walks through the woods and gathered lots of wild berries - even made a batch of chokecherry jelly with my grandma.

Best part of that week?  No cell phone reception or internet.  That was pretty much my hello and goodbye to summer, but I can't complain.

I would think it's like renewing your baptismal vows and would be allowed on any anniversary.  We renewed ours at 25, 30 and now 40 years.  All of these were just done quietly after Mass.  I've never had a priest refuse to have us renew our marriage vows and this is the third priest to allow us to do so.

i finally was able to go to sunday mass at a real church with my family.  I lasted through a good bit of it.  It's been I think 8 months since I've gone to mass... my son behaved better than I did

my wife packed sandwiches and they ate in the park and my son played on the play ground
..it was extremely hot but I had my coolin g vest which is awesome

That's wonderful!

I'm preparing a family party for my parents- its their Ruby Wedding anniversary this weekend. I don't think they put as much work into the original reception!

This Sunday is my Ruby Anniversary as well.  On what day were they actually married.

We are keeping it simple--a renewal of our vows after Mass and home to have a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Happy belated anniversary :)

They were married on a Saturday. We had a fairly quiet Sunday with a blessing too.

River - snaking through wetlands.  Everything looked awesome so we weren't going super fast but still did around 15 miles just yesterday.  I think it was also the birthplace of all mosquitos so I'm covered in bites.  It's nice feeling a pint or two lighter.

Last night I went to Nightlife at the Cal Academy of Sciences. One night a week they have drinks and a DJ for the 21+ crowd and you can see the aquarium and other exhibits for less than the regular admission. They had an earthquake simulator which felt nothing like any earthquake I've experienced. The albino alligator was also moved here from the zoo at some point.

My friend's wedding was off-the-charts fun which is why I haven't bothered mentioning it here.

Uh... let's see.  The first day they had me there, I was sent to help take old, sick, people in wheel chairs from buses to trains at the station.  They put us in teams. 

My team also had to do work in the baths, which was helping men in and out of the tubs of water from the spring.  They walk in with nothing but underwear, a linen cloth is held out so they can take that off too and wear the linen.  Then they're guided into the water and helped to get dunked in, helped back on their feet (because the water's cold), then they get their underwear back on, and go back to the dressing/undressing area.  It was awkward, but the most awkward was when someone too mentally handicapped to remove and/or put their underwear back on had their turn.  Some of them had soiled underwear and/or diapers. 

I don't know why the heck they do this dunking thing.  The water's the same, no matter how much you get on you.

They had me doing translating, guard duty at the exits and entrances at the grotto, escorting a guy around in a wheel chair, managing lines into the baths, managing the procession/rosary they have every night, teaching us how to move the different types of wheel chairs they have for the sick and old, had us help manage the "international Mass" (liturgical abuse-a paloozah) but I at least got to play body guard for the Eucharist during communion, since people seem to want to walk away with the True Presence.  I only had to stop maybe five or six people and tell them to receive before they were able to walk away, the other volunteers were great, I hung out with them almost every night, there were gypsy beggars everywhere, also homeless beggars, I think the gypsies were part of the same group since they all seemed to take turns in the same spots every day.  I went to a Mass done by an SSPX priest, but the chapel is owned by some traditionalist sisters who are affiliated but not members of the SSPX, wasn't able to have much interaction with the French trads though since they seemed to all split after Mass, but with nothing to do there and it being a religious community, it's understandable.  There were TONS of Italians there, especially that week, since that week was their pilgrimage week.  Italian is close enough to Spanish, so I could kind of communicate with them.  The Italians don't seem to like learning other languages, though.  So guard duty at the grotto, telling people they couldn't use the exits as entrances was ok, unless an old Italian woman wanted to get through, they all seem to think they're the exception to any rule.  An Italian buddy of mine who spoke English was only sort of a practicing Catholic, but told me he still had sex with his two girlfriends, at least one of which is unaware of the other.  There was a group of Dutch Catholics who were great to hang out with, though.  They were being led by a religious brother from an order that split from the Dominicans in France a few decades ago.  He was big into the traditional Mass and into history.

The best and worst of Catholicism was there, as far as the condition the Diocese are in.  You saw liturgical abuses, but you also saw devout and traditional practices.  Hand shaking at the sign of peace and clapping for stuff were present.  Overly emotional, touchy feely music, but there were traditional chants and hymns on occasion.

A sort of insult: the "international Mass" was done in an underground chapel, that looked more like a huge underground garage or military hangar for aircraft, big screens for the thousands in attendance, having to escort priests to avoid the True Presence being desecrated, aaaaaaaaand... it was named the St. Pius X chapel. 

I can't help but think one of his enemies picked the name.

That "chapel" made me physically ill when I was in Lourdes...and that was LONG before I was anything close to Trad.

But this is the water before it ends up in the pools, I'm assuming.  The water in the pools has had people in it.  Some of the water goes to the pools, some to the faucets on the nearby wall.

But there's no point in being submerged into the baths.  Even they admit, people have been cured, even with just a little, not full submersion.

Whether you get it from the faucets or get submerged, no difference.  Well, except the water in the baths has had people in it.

My sister got me Cal Shakes tickets for my birthday and I went last night with a friend. A Midsummer Night's Dream is so fanciful that it really shouldn't be a modern production but along the same lines it didn't bother me as much as when they do modern productions of the other plays (and operas). (The same company set King Lear in World War II. Fine, but no thanks.) There was music and choreography in a few scenes which felt appropriately Shakespearean despite the modern dance. Puck was funny but I thought he could have been a little more clever. The play-within-the-play cast was amazing.

We started with coffee at the Ferry Building. My friend wanted to go to Alcatraz but the tours were sold out. So we wandered along to Fisherman's Wharf, got drinks and appetizers at Scoma's, and then North Beach for City Lights Books and more coffee and tirimisu.

How fun!  We went to Fisherman's Wharf once and it was a blast!  We got to go to Alcatraz too and that was very interesting.  I hope you all get to go next time.  It's worth it.  Glad you had a good time.

Because the land is beautiful and sublime, the Colorado River is an awesome body of water to raft down, camping is fun, and Arches National Park is amazing and requires more than only a few brief hours to take in.

I've seen some of it on YouTube.  Rhonda Rousy is amazing!  I can't imagine doing that stuff, but there are some really talented women out there.
Title: Re: Done Anything Fun Lately?
Post by: Arun on September 22, 2014, 05:39:35 AM
Rousey has some mad judo skills and her striking is coming along, but UFC seem to feed her quite a few walkover fights. Invicta is cool because it's an all womens' org, and i think honestly the best thing for WMMA would be to take all the women over to Invicta and keep the men's orgs separate to avoid WMMA becoming just a novelty on the undercard. my daughter is a big fan of Ronda Rousey. personally i think she has some skills but her attitude outside the Octagon puts me off a lot, and the Four Horsewoman schtick is kind of lame.

Post by: dymphna17 on September 22, 2014, 04:20:49 PM
I haven't seen anything of her outside of the ring.  Just clips on YouTube, so I don't know about her attitude.  I can imagine though.  I'll have to pay more attention.  I agree about the WMMA going with Invicta.

We've seen 90 lb. Mohammedan women blow themselves up in markets filled with innocent children.  I find that quite barbaric.

It turns out that it is easy to be barbaric, no matter your size.

1) I wasn't necessarily attempting to argue that it was, but the response of "if they want to do it, let them" leaves out some crucial moral elements.

2) Isn't there a difference between sport and barbarism?  Where does one draw the line?  After all, we could all get together and take a page out of The Most Dangerous Game and we would sin greatly in doing so even if we labelled our activity as sport.  It seems to me that there is a difference between throwing around a ball and intending to beat someone up, even if they are both called "sport".
Title: Re: Done Anything Fun Lately?
Post by: Arun on September 25, 2014, 04:16:56 PM
yes there is a difference between sport and barbarism. MMA is a sport. it's origins lie originally in vale tudo and NHB matches throughout most of the 20th century but modern MMA came about specifically with the introduction of NHB "style vs style" matches such as the early UFCs, PRIDE, and a few others. these original events were designed to pit different martial arts styles against each other in order to determine what beats what, and as such it was more better for those original events to include as little rules as possible and without gloves, rounds or time limits in order to be able to truly determine that. vale tudo literally means "anything goes" btw.
as these events continued to carry on, the fighters participating in them began experimenting with cross training and developing gamesets which would enable them to compete in all phases of these fights. now this was no longer a "style vs style" event but was evolving into it's own game, a truly "mixed martial arts" event. these developments and the evolution of what was taking place into it's own form of sport necessitated the introduction of stricter rulesets, rounds, time limits and gloves.

if you examine the current Unified Rules of MMA, and compare it to the ruleset for UFC 1 for example, you will see that what we have today, whether it's your taste or not, is truly a sport.

Ha I bet it didn't.  They're full of tannins (which is why some people use oak leaves in their ferments!).  Leeching the tannins out gets them to taste a lot like a chestnut.  A free, time-consuming chestnut.  I'm gonna grind and roast some this time to try acorn coffee too.

I have a bad habit of putting off eating in lieu of accomplishing things. The head actually hurt less after I got home and downed some BC powder. The eating probably helped. The wife enjoyed herself though, so I'm sure that saves me a future headache somehow. :)

made sauerkraut for the first time. it's just come good today and been transferred to the fridge. but what was interesting about it is that i didn't realise until i made it that the bacterial process it goes through is exactly the same as when i make lacto starters for corn or bourbon mashes.
learn something every day i guess.

once the final bacteria took over, i left it for maybe another day and then taste tested it. it seemed pretty good and the recipe i'm following suggested a 3 to 4 day ferment prior to refrigerating so i stuck it in the fridge. it was about 5 or 6 days i think.

I work in other churches on Sundays.  It was impossible for me to be there considering I don't get off until 12:30 PM and then it would be a two hour drive for me.   These eyewitness accounts may be very similar to the time I was supposedly seen there when I hadn't been there in about five months, plus the "observation" that I'm anti-social (when I'm not even there!) and now this.   Perhaps someone is being delusional?  I certainly can't bi-locate!

Yes, I met him.  I even mention him in the thread in which we're talking about meetings.   You were there as well.  Gman had just walked around the corner (as I soon found out) when I introduced myself to WRC.   However, I did not work on Sundays at the time, so I attended Mass at the Institute almost weekly.   Now that I work on Sundays, getting over there is a rarity, and never on Sundays.  The last time I attended Mass in Chicago was either the feast of the Immaculate Conception 2013 or the Octave of the Nativity 2014.

I'm not paranoid, but you might be having hallucinations.   Poor KK.

My youngest bro bought me and my Mum a hot drink and we just took some time out- I've been so crazy busy at work that I felt like I was loosing my marbles this week, so sitting doing nothing except sipping tea and enjoying time spent with my family was just what I needed!

they're great eh. i love pit bull puppies, when they find their legs there's this certain way they walk, all bold and boisterous. it's cool as.

my fun thing was being involved (somewhat) in a drunken brawl and being the good guy!!! which hasn't really been the case most my life.

kinda my fault, i brewed some nice beers at around 9 or 10% abv, and adfter a couple crates of the stuff things went a bit sour between a couple of the guys. all i did was try break it up, but cos i was holding one guys brother in a "seatbelt" hold he thought i was choking his brother, so then he tried to choke me which i dealt with and then it was all cool again. i'm just real proud of myself that i wasn't the shite starter but instead i was the guy trying to sort it all out lol. i think i'm growing up a bit hahaha.

Wow that's intense Laus :( Prayers for all departed souls.

I had a brilliant week- went to the mountains/forest for work, found my first Geocache and spent yesterday at a food & crafts festival with one of my brothers, enjoying wild boar and kangaroo sausages and sea salt dark chocolate. Walked round a mediaeval castle, eating a amazing pistachio meringue in one of the towers,  had a great pub lunch, and finished off with a quick look around a Christmas tree + decorations exhibition with my parents and brother.

Replying late, sorry!  ;D

Pheo, this is in a neighbouring village (medieval walled town built by Edward I if I remember correctly) and is a yearly event. Lots of fun and a good intro to more exotic meats for a recent veggie-turned-carnivore! Wild boar is lovely :)

Laus, I'm jealous- my grandad was Polish and my Nana still has a silver icon of Our Lady of Czstochowa in her flat that my mum covets! It'd be interesting to hear what today's Poles have to say about the Katyn massacre- my great-uncle was a POW who was one of the lucky ones to survive. It was blamed on the Germans for some time, but the family knew it was the Russians.

Today I had an awesome day- my birthday- and got spoilt rotten by everyone :D My mum, whose fingers are rather numb due to nerve problems, still went to all the trouble of making a beautiful decorated cake, my dad created some awesome photos for me and my aunt & uncle offered a rose for my intentions in Lourdes  :)

Happy Feast day all!

Yes. Crawl is a far more apt term because by the end of the night you should unable to walk from bar to bar...hence the crawling. At least if you've done it right.

Visited Grossinger's dealership in Chicago.  First time I've seen a dealer with indoor valet parking and a 4-story car lot where they drive cars up to the service desk for viewing.

On the downside, the saleswoman set me up for an appointment to see a truck that they'd already sold before I ever called.  When I got there somebody else informed me they had no used trucks that met my specifications.  Silly woman.  How did she expect to sell me something that didn't exist?

On the downside, the saleswoman set me up for an appointment to see a truck that they'd already sold before I ever called.  When I got there somebody else informed me they had no used trucks that met my specifications.  Silly woman.  How did she expect to sell me something that didn't exist?

Maybe she's that good of a saleslady....

After a 4.30am start to be here for a student support session, I'm sitting waiting for the student who was supposed to meet me half an hour ago.

On the plus side, I get paid to sit and read my Kindle.

I could care less about the Sound of Music in the Williamson-rant vein, I just despise it on cheesiness and sappy music alone. 

What about The Music Man redone as missionary instead of a traveling con artist?

I was going to suggest that.  Do it!  He has never failed me.  It's amazing, really.  I have looked for things for days, and it isn't until I've prayed to him that I find it..,,sometimes immediately.  He's even found my engagement ring a few times  :whistling:

For my middle son's birthday yesterday we went to the Phoenix Herpetological Society.  It was really cool.  I'd never seen so many awesome and/or deadly creatures before, and it was better than the zoo because it much more focused on one type of creature (reptiles) and has a lot more than the zoo, and it's private and by reservation only, and everywhere you look there's something awesome/creepy (plus, you're never far from a bathroom, which is good for parents with small children).

According to them they're the facility with the second largest alligator/croc population in the country and also house the largest population of venemous snakes.  Snakes are kind of grotesque and creepy and gorgeous all rolled into one.

Our friends who have the runway on their property had some visitors last week.  Hubby and I got to go and take a peak.  Here is what she had to say about it as well as a picture.  Some of you might want to...well....  :tinfoil:

QuoteThe CAP (Civil Air Patrol) was having training exercises at our place Fri and Sat. KSARNG was OK'd to come with 2 Blackhawks. (1 attack and 1 medevac)
They gave an excellent presentation, a safety talk prior to giving rides to the cadets and senior members, and handed out t-shirts and pens. Yes. ..they stayed for lunch. It was absolutely an UPLIFTING experience.

It was probably the best show I've ever been to in terms of pure entertainment and musicianship. It's crazy to see so many musical styles one right after another, with new arrangements of some classic parodies, and, of course, a polka medley.

Today was an off-day. Went up to Boulder to the Celestial Seasonings tea factory (www.celestialseasonings.com/), took the free tour, got free samples, and ate in their cafe. It was enjoyable, and the cafe served great food at a decent price (cheaper than Panera -- got a good panini sandwich w/ fries for 7.50).

Then over to the Leanin' Tree Museum of Western Art (http://www.leanintreemuseum.com/). Got some good pics which I'll post when less lazy.

And then, to the Redstone Meadery(http://redstonemeadery.com/), took their free tour and had samples. Bought some of their traditional mead and their reserve stuff. Tyler, the meadery tour guide, was great and very knowledgeable about home-brewing, giving good DIY tips. I was surprised to learn they only have around 6 employees total.

15-hour road trip with the family to the east coast - went and stayed on an island in the Atlantic so we could go on a puffin tour.  Saw hundreds of them from a blind on the island: they're smaller than penguins and sound a little bit like cows (what a cool bird).  While we were on the island we did a couple morning hikes to lighthouses and saw seals, dolphins, and a whale.  Ate lots of seafood.  Went fishing until my arms hurt, then kayaked across a nice big lake anyway.  Woke up to see most sunrises, one of them with three nice white tail deer watching with me.  Walked on a path that's too close to the edge of 100-200 foot sheer cliffs at sunset - and I'd walk there again in a heartbeat.  Picked 6 pounds of wild raspberries, lots of wild strawberries, and some berries that I've never seen before (still alive).

All in all it was an awesome trip.

Stayed on Grand Manan (dulse capital!) and the puffins are even further out on Machias Seal island.

15-hour road trip with the family to the east coast - went and stayed on an island in the Atlantic so we could go on a puffin tour.  Saw hundreds of them from a blind on the island: they're smaller than penguins and sound a little bit like cows (what a cool bird).  While we were on the island we did a couple morning hikes to lighthouses and saw seals, dolphins, and a whale.  Ate lots of seafood.  Went fishing until my arms hurt, then kayaked across a nice big lake anyway.  Woke up to see most sunrises, one of them with three nice white tail deer watching with me.  Walked on a path that's too close to the edge of 100-200 foot sheer cliffs at sunset - and I'd walk there again in a heartbeat.  Picked 6 pounds of wild raspberries, lots of wild strawberries, and some berries that I've never seen before (still alive).

All in all it was an awesome trip.

I'm jealous...sounds amazing!

I went to see the Corpse Flower at the UC Botanical Garden, twice. The first day it hadn't opened yet. If you ever have the opportunity near you I highly recommend a visit. It's a crazy plant.

I had to look that one up.  Not sure I'd want to get a whiff of that plant, though.

put on real shoes (not evensocks and Tevas) and real clothes and went to some fancy rooftop party with my wife and her coworkers at some expensive  bar.  seemed to make my wife happy that i went out although apparently work outings do not count as "date night" because there are coworkers there, and apparently that is not a date.  even though i was her date.

we had a wonderful view of the sky, and the full moon, and the skyline.... the social interaction piece was difficult, i have forgotten how to have conversations with "normal people"   hard time remembering that at one point i was "the social one" and my wife hated these types of things.


we had to leave early but t was good to get out

That's awesome!  I'll bet you looked spiffy at a rooftop party.  Being social takes practice.  I hate it.  I'd rather be around babies and pets.  I'm so glad you were able to get out.  Your wife must have been on cloud nine.   :)

I was finally healthy enough to go to our local ABATE bike rally out at the lake.  My bil let us use his 5th wheel camper that had air conditioning.  We tried 3 different generators before we found one that worked.  It was 97 degrees out with a heat index of 105, so we really, really needed that ac.  When the working generator died this morning we knew it was time to get ready to come home.  Isn't is strange how being out in the heat like that just drains your energy?  Poor Hubby just about made himself sick doing all the hard work.

We had a really good time anyway.  We were with some really good friends we already knew and made some new ones as well.  One of our friend's brought his smoker and made a huge brisket and a couple of huge pork butts.  It was so yummy!

They had bike races this year as part of the bike games which was fun to watch.  And they had a new vender's circle that was just a little hop and a jump next to where we were camped, so that was really nice.  Nigel Dupree was the headlining band.  He is the son of Jesse James Dupree, of the band Jackyl, who headlines at the Full Throttle Saloon during the Sturgis, SD bike rally. All in all it was a really good weekend.  I hope all of yours was too!

On Tuesday, I started organising homeschool curriculum for the year.
On Wednesday, I tidied up the homeschool room and the living room.
On Thursday, we took a family road trip to a corn maze (3 hrs away). Then we ate lunch out, did some shopping, and came home.
On Friday, the kids repainted their schoolbook drawers and tie dyed shirts (since its the last year that all of us kids will be living home, I figured we should do something fun).
On Saturday, I played at an anniversary Mass (NO). I was only asked to play the Mass responses, but since the other guy didn't show up...  ::)
On Sunday, we went to Mass in the morning and following that we went to my grandparents place for brunch. In the evening, while the rest of my family was visiting at my aunt's, I finished organising the kids' curriculum, worked more on our homeschool schedule, unloaded the dishwasher, and prayed 5 decades of the Rosary while folding 4 baskets of laundry.  ;D

I went to the Air Force football game. Other than the air tight security procedures: long lines, getting probed with a wand, and having my car bottom out in the "parking lot", we enjoyed sitting amongst the cadets at parents weekend and watching a Falcon thrashing. One of my former students is also a starter. Neat to hear his name called.

On Tuesday, I started organising homeschool curriculum for the year.
On Wednesday, I tidied up the homeschool room and the living room.
On Thursday, we took a family road trip to a corn maze (3 hrs away). Then we ate lunch out, did some shopping, and came home.
On Friday, the kids repainted their schoolbook drawers and tie dyed shirts (since its the last year that all of us kids will be living home, I figured we should do something fun).
On Saturday, I played at an anniversary Mass (NO). I was only asked to play the Mass responses, but since the other guy didn't show up...  ::)
On Sunday, we went to Mass in the morning and following that we went to my grandparents place for brunch. In the evening, while the rest of my family was visiting at my aunt's, I finished organising the kids' curriculum, worked more on our homeschool schedule, unloaded the dishwasher, and prayed 5 decades of the Rosary while folding 4 baskets of laundry.  ;D

I think I can safely say this for all the other Mothers on this forum, who are raising families and will have teens in the not too distant future.....what did your parents do that (seemingly, based on this post) formed you so well?
More like what they didn't do.  ::)

In spring of 2012, my dad started constructing a solar energy-powered bed and breakfast as an expansion of our farm business. With Dad being out of the house most of the day (almost everyday) and Mom working pt as a nurse, I was at home with the kids a lot of the time (I was 14, they were 12, 10, 8, 5, and 2). That school year, we didn't do much homeschooling, the house was a mess, there was next to no discipline instilled in the youngest kids, and I was fed up with it all. I've got a bit of a type A personality, and I need structure in order to function my best and serve those around me. So I did some reading, talked to the kids, made a plan, and got busy.  The 2013-14 school year was when us kids first got into a routine (we left the parents out of the equation). It worked! The kids were learning, the house was cleaner, and meals were served on time.  Yes, there were problems with discipline early on, since I was the one teaching the kids, but we got it worked out.

This entire experience taught me a lot about self-discipline too. I need to stick with the schedule, even if I don't feel like it. I've gained a lot more self-mastery (Deo gratias) in the past few years, which will help me as I get into university life next fall.  :)

the other night i attended the local Catholic Schools Speech Competition 2015, as my daughter was repping her school. some good speeches, but something else i thought was cool was that the local SSPX school was invited to participate and included and despite it being a NOtard event they opened with a prayer, and said the Our Father - properly. when i was going to the NOtard eleven years or so ago you'd never, ever have seen that. so it was encouraging; there may still be some Catholics in the NOtard religion yet...

First of all, a 21 yr old drinking age is asinine.

Second, isnt it legal inany stqtes to drink below that age with parental consent, inside the home?

When they raised the drinking age to 21, traffic accidents and deaths dropped dramatically.

Let's look at it this way, if we were to legalize public drinking what would happen the first few years, people going crazy, rambling drunk through the streets, urine smell throughout the air, the usual American celebration...give it a couple of years and things will go back to normal, and I would argue be better cops wouldn't have to enforce small crimes and can go after big fish which would lead to better respect for the police and perhaps tighter enforcement regarding drinking in those areas where we really do not want people getting sauced (schools hospitals etc), also perhaps picnics would return as people could go to the market buy food and a beer and just eat in the park or by the harbour.

Point being: the first few years you lift a prohibition things will go crazy but eventually everything will settle.

They once lowered the drinking age to 18 and traffic accidents increased (however I would also bet the legal limit at that time was still .15) then decreased when raised again to 21, I would argue that had they just let it be, and perhaps imposed the current BAC of .08 things would have settled and the benefits of finally joining the metric system (ie having a sane drinking age would come).

I'm tempted to say "who cares," if it's in the home with parental consent, once the kid hits 16-ish . How would the cops ever find out? It probably still depends on the age: nobody wants parents giving their little kids full beers or anything like that- that would probably still be illegal.

my youngest two siblings on my father's side are half French, their mother migrated here from Brittany, and they were brought up very French in some ways. i remember seeing them having a small glass of wine at the dinner table when i was staying with them, which is something i actually think is quite good. teaching them how to responsibly enjoy drinking rather than keeping it as some kind of forbidden fruit can help stop people becoming too immersed in modern "drinking culture" which can form some bad habits, particularly binge drinking and so-called "dependency".

coming from the guy who advocated yardies a couple posts back lmfao... but yeah, you get the point. i have a 10 year old who is a bit of a "foodie" and i have on occasion allowed them a small sip of a wine or cider and asked them to think about what foods it would pair well with and things like that in order to encourage and affirm positive behaviours towards alcohol.

it's fun to just haul up and get sh!tfaced now and again, but at my age (few months shy of 30) when you look around and see how common it is for people this age to have fatty livers, get DTs when they start drying out, stomach ulcers from drinking, or having little to no stomach lining &c. it's extremely common at this age. but it probably doesn't need to be.

Mr T and the kids are watching Transformers the movie. The cartoon version from the 80s, not the recent ones. That is fun for them. Personally, I can't stand the gravelly voices- ugh. So I am going to take a nap. It doesn't get much more fun then that around here.

That's a fine work of cinema there

Orson Welles is in it

It's painful and full of dramatic hair metal like rifts and solos. It honestly makes my ears bleed. I will say that my children are learning a healthy respect for robots, so if they ever try and take over, my kids will be all over it.
But they wouldn't be able to see them, the robots are in disguise

Hence training them at a young age. Stranger danger lessons don't just include kidnappers and pedos, it also includes a full chapter on Decepticons and their associates. It's in my Seton HSing planner.

the hair metal is what nakes it so great

And now that we have this work of art on DVD, it will be with us for years...and years. It will be my life goal to never have the thing memorized. Unlike MLP, which I know seasons 1-3 verbatim.

where i'm from it's tradition on your 18th birthday.

Here in the U.S. that would be illegal.  We can't drink legally until 21.

First of all, a 21 yr old drinking age is asinine.

Second, isnt it legal inany stqtes to drink below that age with parental consent, inside the home?

I'm tempted to say "who cares," if it's in the home with parental consent, once the kid hits 16-ish . How would the cops ever find out? It probably still depends on the age: nobody wants parents giving their little kids full beers or anything like that- that would probably still be illegal.

Depends on the state.

yeah a lot of people do. i've honestly got no idea what happened to mine in the last 9 years...

generally in NZ it's tradition at your 21st to drink one, you have to drink the whole thing in one go while everyone stands around and watches. once you start, you keep going till it's done. some people don't let the beer get flat enough first and the carbonation makes them puke into the yardie and then they have to keep going; it's all in good fun, but kinda gross.

You know Americans. To boot, the Oktoberfest begins in September. This Saturday, in fact. Should be interesting what with all the muslims hankering around.

Thanks be to God, I actually got in WUFI (World Ultralight Fly In)!  Yay!  It was really windy up at the runway today, but it started dying down around 6:00 pm.  I was getting really nervous because the sun was sinking fast.  I flew with a friend in his paramotor.  There were a couple of us who didn't get to go up this morning before the winds kicked in, so we went in succession.  Then our niece, who was celebrating her 16th birthday came up and went for a ride.  She screamed most of the time (not cool when you have earmuffs on that are connected to the pilot  :eek:) but it was mostly for dramatic effect since her little friends were with her for her birthday party.  She really, really liked it she said.   :lol:

Most of all, I got to go see my friend in the hospital who is dying (Mr Belderok).  It was very hard, but I'm so glad I made it.  I don't know why that was so important, but it was.  Now that I think about it, he's the one that got us into flying in the first place.  Wow.  Anyway, his dear wife was there so I got to talk to her a little as well.  She is doing much better than I would be. 

It was a very good vertical day.  I'm pushing a record here and I like it.  Deo Gratias!

Kein Problem. I just live here; trying to get back to the NKY.

Oh. Cov Catholic, then. Is Highlands still dominating he football?

Pretty much!

We have friends whose backyard butted up to Highlands.  The babies had to get used to sleeping with sound of cannons during football season.  LOL.

That's the prettiest part of the Greater Cincy area, hands down. I need to get back there to hang out in Newport so I write an entry into this thread.

Hofbräuhaus?   :)

That much coveted location where hordes of Irish and Germans gather for libations, their enjoyment all the more hightened by the thought of their younger siblings at home.

I did my son's bedtime routine for the first time in a long time

it is different from the way my wife does it, we both sing ave maris stella and veni creator spiritus, say different prayers.  i bless him with holy water, she does not do that

he sat in my lap and commented that i dont put him to bed very often.  he said, "it is kind of like the rosary though.  it goes, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, daddy.  just like, 'hail mary, hail mary, hail mary, hail maryhail mary, hail mary, our father.  she gets the little beads and you are the big bead."

my son came to visit and brought the chess board spent a bit of time showing him some basic stuff and we played part of a game before we got interrupted

Like chess? Hunt down an NZ film called "The Dark Horse". true story. brilliant film. first time Cliff Curtis played a Maori since Uncle f***in Bully (note to mods: that is the characters name btw; watch the film and you won't disagree) but really a friggin great movie. The fact it's a true story just is icing on the top.

What's your philosophy on getting new cast iron pans? I've heard a million different opinions about how to properly care for them...I'd be interested to hear your take.

I had one once, but my roommate thought it could float. I won $100 off that bet but have never owned cast iron for more than 30 minutes so I never got a chance to use it.

New cast iron is too rough. Stay away from non-USA/Canada versions. The old stuff, which is available from thrift stores and garage sales, is machined smoothly on the cooking surface. This is key for good seasoning that doesn't take ages to deal with. Also, if you have to strip it, the smoother surface allows easier re-seasoning.

If you see a faint circular pattern in the cooking surface, it should be smooth. If you find one which is heavily covered, try scratching away to see the bare surface.

PM Lynne for her take on the old vs new, as she got two of my pieces a while ago. I didn't season them, just stripped and did a basic coat of vegetable oil for rust prevention in shipping.

A man walks into a store. He goes up to the clerk and says "I'd like to buy some kielbasa please"  The clerk says "Oh you must be Polish" The man replied "Why do you think I'm Polish? Is it because I ordered kielbasa?"  "No" said the clerk," I think your Polish because this is a hardware store".

I love the summer when you can put the littles just in diapers. especially when they are the drooly kind and ruin their clothes continuously.

My kids just about live in nothing but a diaper from the time they can crawl until they are potty trained. Weather wise, we are able to accommodate that almost year round, except for a few bouts of coldness here and there. We really only experience a few seasons down here: humid, less humid, and occasionally really cold. This "winter" has been particularly mild.

Just returned from a wonderful vacation!

Spent time with my mom, kids got to see their cousins for the first time in 18 months, I got to see the new baby, kids got to ride ATV's, tromp around outside.

We went to Tahquamenon Falls for a day.  Kids thought it "savage" that mom can row a boat.  LOL.  We hiked around and took tons of pictures.

When we were done there, we went to Oswald's Bear Ranch and got to feed the baby bears and have our picture taken with them and pet them.  That was pretty amazing.

Then we took scenic US-2 back to the Mighty Mac bridge.  SOOOO pretty.  Stopped and waded inthe lake more than once.

Went to Petoskey and looked out over the Bay but too cloudy for a good sunset.  Saw a bunch of baby ducks trying to get in the water when it was really choppy.   GOt a video of it.  Super cute.

Over the course of our trip we saw multiple deer, a grouse, and a family of foxes.

Took the scenic route from Petoskey to Traverse City and down M-22 along the lake and through some of the most beautiful country side.  Had lunch at a little local place that was fabulous.  Stopped and waded in the lake some more and got home late last night.

I had a blast with my kids.   Can you tell? ;D

Spera, I'm happy to hear you had such a great trip.  I have no doubt about that -- the U.P. is awesome.  Probably my favorite place on earth.  I used to go to the southeastern portion, the Les Cheneaux Islands.  Did you happen to make it to any of the sand dunes on Lake Superior?  Tahquamenon Falls is wonderful -- haven't been there in ages.  I love not only the falls, but also the old-growth forests surrounding (and the ferns, love the ferns and lady's slippers... and I could go on, but I'll stop).   It got down into the 50's here last night and was chilly this morning.  My husband and I were just saying to each other that it felt like Michigan weather and that we missed Michigan.  Then I saw your post and felt even more nostalgic.  Glad you enjoyed your time up there.

Had a big game of frisbee with the kids and husband at a park next to an outdoor concert area (the concert going on was nothing to write home about, but it did make for some fancy choreographical frisbee throws and catches).  The 5 year old took it upon himself to push the stroller with the 1 and 3 year olds around and around the paved area, so I was actually able to participate this round.  Haven't done that in a while.  It was fun.

The old growth forest was amazing.  We took a wonderful walk through it.

Grand Rapids was 90 degress while I was up at the Falls, so I heard from friends.  We needed jackets - it was downright chilly.  LOL.

Ran out of time to see any of the sand dunes.  I guess that will have to go on the list for next time. 

I seriuosly might consider the UP once I have a nursing degree.  Not a lot of jobs up there.  SOOOO much land for sale and abandoned houses.  Sad, especially with how beautiful it is.  I would love it every day.

Very innovative and fresh.  Not a "Swamy River" kinda harp player. More like "California Dreamin and We Gotta Get Out of this Place". He has a website and professional videos on it. Anyway, some came back to the house, shot guns, ate pizza. Yup, fun.

Where in Michigan did you used to live and where are you now?

Basically the Hessel-Cedarville area about 45 or so minutes east of the Mackinac Bridge. (I'm in Ohio now).  It really is a beautiful area, and a shame about so many abandoned houses.  You're right about jobs being limited, though; and I think the winters can be probably be too long and tough for many.  I'd imagine the Sault Ste Marie area may have more jobs, or St. Ignace, or Marquette?  Especially nursing jobs. Those areas are further north or west than where I was, but they are more populated and have actual small cities (and I'm sure there are others but those are what come to mind).  If we needed to get something that wasn't carried in the little nearby town, or if we wanted to go to movies or something, we'd drive about 45 minutes north to Sault Ste Marie (the Soo).  There wasn't a single stoplight until maybe 9 years ago in town where I was, and there still aren't any fast food restaurants - just mom & pops.  (Well from what I hear, it's been a long time since I've been there.  :'()

Glad you got out Chestertonian. A trip to a park is a thing of the past for me. Though when kids were little I went alot. Now, life on the farm is like living at a park. Plus we have tree swings and climbing ropes and a long paved driveway for bikes. Hope you and family enjoyed yourself. Mrs. C must be getting uncomfortable by now. She will pop soon.

I played Uncle Wiggly with my granddaughter who is just shy of 5. She stomped me.

Now there's a good dose of humility for the soul!  I'll bet she loved every minute of it, too!  :lol:

And it will be an awesome memory, too.

Spent more time outdoors this weekend than I have in a year.  Actually got to go to a bike rally and spend some time with my best friend, just like the good ole days. Then spent yesterday out at the lake with friends and family and all their little ones.  Even got to spend a little time with my Godson.  I think Hubby has the jet ski bug now, though.  All in all, I have much to thank God for today.   :pray3: 8)

Drove up to Cheboygan, mi. Yesterday. Family visit. It has been wonderful. Spending time with brother I haven't seen for 9yrs.  Any way just as we were turning the corner at our hotel, we lost our transmission. No warning or engine light. It just broke down ! (should have just stayed on the struggle bus😳.So we swore a little, coasted to our hotel, and had the car towed away this morning. This will be no cheap fix! We were only going to stay one overnight. We may be here until Friday. Fun times. At least we are in good company!

Sweet dymphna! You seem to have covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time and it all sounds so fun. now, if you do get a jet ski we will have to discuss bathing suits! You will have to slide out of those jeans and into a bathing suit. Things are getting complicated my dear. We can have a private conversation and hammer out the details. ;D I want to live with you. You and hubby sure seem to get around. Good for you my friend.

Yes we have golf. And running water (for the most part). But I am dying to drive down to Coeur d'Alene and play the course there.

celebrated my wife's birthday and our new babys baptism at home.  was a big group of people in our house, not nearly as big as some of the big christening parties i have gone to but it was mre than enough social interaction for me to handle. 

When our firstborn son was a week old we had it done at Our Saviour church in manhattan, i remember it took so much out of m wfe to take me all the way there and she and his godparents and I ended up going t o chipotle afterwards which ended up being perfectlyfine for everyne involved (except me i guess but the rest of the mortals have to eat). so it has been an inside joke between us that we will go to Chipotle for his first communion and wedding too. so this time around we did not go to chipotle but asked people to bring mexican dish of their choice. i remember after my baptism we did tequila shots so they did tequila shots too. 


then I slept for about 12 hours straight

Each day when I go up to see my husband I crawl into his hospital bed. We sleep, we talk, we laugh, we....well you know....cry. We go over past mistakes and their consequences. It's been good in many ways. I go home and actually enjoy the peace and nothingness I'm ashamed to say. Hopefully, if he doesn't get a stent he will come home today!  Rental agency from up north is coming down to get the car and drop off my car, which he is driving down. So nothing to be stressed about, right? Yeah, wish it were so. But....what's good is good, right? Yahoo for all that's right!

There's nothing wrong with finding the good in an otherwise bad situation that God has allowed for you. Yahoo!  Being able to spend the time with your Hubby like that after being married for many years is truly a gift from God.  Yahoo!   Nothing wrong with a little peace and quiet either.  As long as you don't get used to it and start looking for ways to */ahem* make it permanent.   :P ;)  With that guy driving your car down, that means it's in working order now, right?  Yahoo!  Congratulations, you are now completely stress free!  Yahuey!  3 out of 4 ain't bad, right?  :laugh:

I'm really glad you can find the bright spots God sends with these circumstances.  Alot of folks would crawl in bed and pull the covers over their heads until it was over.  Good for you!  Continued prayers.   :pray3:

Yesterday (I can say that now: it's 12:30 AM  ;D ) a friend of mine came over and we went for coffee in the afternoon. Then we walked back to my residence, read books and blogs, and drank tea until about 7:00. Then we went for supper, came back again, prayed a Rosary together, and walked out to his car afterwards. The first snow of the season had started coming down when we had gone out for supper, and he had no snowbrush in his car, so we brushed it off with our mittens and had a snowball fight (partly in honor of the anniversary of Lepanto  :pray1:). It was a great day!

These are Grandchildren, rsc.  You throw them all in the back of a pickup truck and away you go!  It's only parents who have to worry about things like minivans, helmets on bicycles, waiting to swim after they eat, and eating vegetables.  They can have chocolate cake for breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa's.   :lol:

Meant to post this yesterday but the grandkids had a day off from school. Deer season is only a few weeks away and the grandchildren (5, 7, and 8) have been demanding to go hunting. So we did it up right. Up early and a hearty breakfast. Got kitted out in blaze orange and hit the nearest hayfield. Almost immediately we found a buck scrape on a popple tree. Plus there were lots of deer beds and piles of droppings. Then we hiked down into the woods to an old dump where there are lots of bottles, farm equipment and what's left of a 38 Packard. On the way back we found a huge pile of porcupine poop beneath an old tree. The high point of their day. Back at home we harvested all our pumpkins, washed and sorted them for distribution to various relatives and picked the first of the dried beans. Then they went off and did other things while grandpa had a nap.

My grandkids are practically perfect in every way   ;) Really, chocolate cake for breakfast dymphna....where do you get this stuff. Nope just ice cream for dinner. Sometimes they don't even have to brush their teeth and stay up late at a campfire or they get to bring animals into our house or pick vegetables and dig up potatoes.
When my daughters were little they used to put underwear on the ducks.

Red - Just where exactly does one find underwear for ducks?  Is that a Tarwaters Farm & Home Supply item, or a Walmart find?

Carleendiane - It's a well established fact that my kids (if I babysit a child, they are one of my kids) can have whatever they want for breakfast, i.e. chocolate cake, ice cream, jello.  We've had them all.  The other meals have to be normal, but breakfast is special (mainly because I don't like getting up in the morning, let alone fighting with them about what they are going to eat. Plus, it's just fun.  :lol:  )

Spent hours looking for our rental car keys yesterday. Then, I wondered, could they have been in the wrecked 300 we had towed away to be assessed by ins. Called the tow place. Sure enough. But the tow brought car to place 1 1/2 hrs away. So......hubby went early today to get the keys, driving his old white farm truck, Trusty.  Fun times.

Dymphna, our friend, will be flying in with hubby and NON may be here as well. Laus will be bringing the beer. We have a ram you can ride and we can all run with the sheep. At your risk of course.

Drank charcoal to try and throw up, since I was nauseous and had a dizzy head and thought it would help.  I saw it on a show where they were teaching Marines survival skills, and they all immediately threw up when they drank the charcoal (in event of eating something poisonous).  I tried it with grilling charcoal and nothing happened, so I had to make myself gag to throw up the charcoal.  Fun  :o

Please tell us it was just charcoal and not the kind with infused lighter fluid...

(https://i.imgflip.com/2f0vsh.jpg)

Before ingesting charcoal, ask yourself a few questions:

Am I just hungry?
Am I just dehydrated?
Do I have a migraine?

Address those first before trying other methods.

If you must, try making yourself vomit by the ole finger in the throat method. IF you are fed and hydrated, and don't have a migraine, the body likely didn't appreciate something you ate. Just get rid of it. Afterwards, have water and something light like a salad until it subsides. Once it subsides push fat.

Please stop eating grilling charcoal. lol.

Picked a couple gallons of chokecherries at the park across the street last night. Now they're bubbling away on the stove as I get the jars ready. I'm not too crazy about jelly myself, but it makes a nice gift at Christmastime and such.

Last fall, I made a few giant pots of applesauce to store in the freezer, and my roommate almost killed me. She isn't too sure about my foraging instincts or what I plan to do with that amount of food. But as it turns out, we'll have just enough applesauce to make it until September when I can pick more.  ::)

Not sure if "fun" is the most appropriate word, but Husband and I attended our first Byzantine Liturgy last night, for the vigil of the Assumption.  It was really reverent and beautiful.  They also did Vespers before Mass, so we got to experience that, as well.  I loved all the iconography, and especially how they have the icon screen separating the laity from the Sanctuary.  There was a lot of chanting, which I thought was quite lovely.  I enjoyed that aspect.  It was different, though.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  I missed having Latin, and there was very little kneeling.  That felt strange, but then I'm just not used to it.  Father gave a nice homily, which included an explanation of an icon depicting the Apostles visiting Our Lady in her Dormition.  The symbolism in iconography is so rich!  It makes me want to learn more about it.

Regarding the Dormition icon, did the priest tell the tradition of how the Theotokos' empty tomb was discovered?  It's a beautiful story if you've never heard it.

Solemn Mass (2/3s of the ministers were diocesan!), then benediction, and a candlelit procession with a relic from the BVM's belongings (veil?  I forget).

Then drinks with friends at a local cocktail lounge.

He did!  I don't remember all the details, but the point I remember the most was that St. Thomas, just like when Our Lord appeared after the Resurrection, was again, not there.  I also liked how in the icon, Our Lord is depicted holding a small child, who represents the soul of Our Lady.  So, just how She held Him after his Passion, He held her after her Dormition.  I want to go find a good retelling of the story online, so I can tell the kids about it

We made a very long move from SE Canada to SoCal - the desert.  It's beautiful, but summer is hot.  Our family introduced us to "night swimming".  The evenings are still in the 90's, but there is no humidity and no bugs.  It's so quiet and peaceful, swimming and gazing at the moon illuminated mountains and palm trees, very conductive to meditation.

It was fun.  The trouble was that just as I was about to clobber a snotty teenager, (I was aiming for the big kids, I got soaked myself and it affected my aim.  None of the adults joined in.  Too boring).  I hate adults, they are dull.

I had 4 or 5 near misses and a I got really frustrated that I wasn't hitting anyone.

A cute little 6 year old boy ran past me and I very deliberately smashed one water-balloon into the back of his head neck from about 8 feet away.  His t-shirt was soaked.  It was a cheap shot.

I felt a little bit guilty afterwards.  He was cool about it, didn't cry.

I came away completely soaking.  I got annihilated.

I now have a little bit of sympathy for Hilter and his V2 program.  When you are losing badly it is cathartic to take vengeance on anyone.  It feels good.

Mrs. Heinrich and I spent Mother's Day with Gardener and his family at their home. Oh, and Greg was visiting from Kent, UK. He has work in Denver and came down for Mass and a visit. What a charming time! We covered some familiar topics discussed here, talked family, travel, gun culture in USA(Gardener was very informative to that), living in UK vs. USA, etc. We polished off enough cans of Perrier to build one of those silly can pyramids like TradRuralmom's Marine son and his fellow Marines with Coors Light empties when they come to visit.
