StoryRhyme Behind The Story
Scanning, building, linkiing, coding
pages for Mason and Andrew's guide is a bit of an undertaking

Behind the Story: "Hiccup The Burping Dog's Birthday Party"
I made a dogfood cake and gave the

I recognize the name of an actress
(who was popular back when I was paying attention to such things),
and names I don't recognize but find out (by Googling them) that
one is Tiger Woods' wife, some town’s soon-to-be ex-mayor, and a

the House
We tie-dyed about 30 shirts throughout the evening; and, of course, all the adults were the first in line. A couple of Charlie's friends came over in their new far-out tie-dyed shirts today and they looked, well, groovy... Read More...
