Last day to tell your unschooling tale here!

Resources. Have you ever wanted to recall who directed a film or when it came out so you went to the Internet Movie database and got sucked in to the vortex of information? I have. It is a similar feeling to looking upon a word in the dictionary but then stumbling across the word mooncalf [...]

Super fun wayback to the present image meme

January 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Lori created a Super Fun Way back Images meme and then proceeded to steal all of my memories of being 9 for her own blogging purposes.

Mail thought this story blog worthy. Before he hears my version he will write his version and then we will compare notes.
The sun sort of poked out its face today and we lost no time in tossing the books, video games and other learned things aside to go for a walk. We had a really [...]

Resolve, comic and earnest

January 6th, 2008 · 3 Comments

 
Hathor the CowGoddess has a new year’s resolution in comic form which I think you will appreciate!
What is yours?
I resolve:
To see more movies

(Gammie’s elves don’t have time for text messaging.)
