A personal favorite… PEANY CANDY!

All that peany goodness in one small sweet package.
The New Year holiday officially ends tomorrow with the Lantern Festival. We hope to go join in some of the festivities tonight and if we do… and if it doesn’t rain… we might have some pics of that.
Back to my coffee… and [...]

Yeah… I’m from Omaha. Actually Bellevue, but we are on friendly terms with Omaha so I can say I’m from Omaha and it will be O.K. with both cities.
I watched American Idol last season… and that’s a mistake I’ll definitely never make again… but when I saw that the latest show was Omaha auditions… I [...]

Wow… I’ve still been sick and/or busy because of trying to catch up after being sick.

This Sunday, the Stillers have a chance to knock off the only remaining [...]

Mosburger is a Japanese fast food style restaurant. McDonalds has more stores than anyone here in Taiwan. Mosburger is probably 2nd… or KFC.

Sedna - is the name of the Innuit goddess of the oceans
Veikko - [...]

Here’s a fun civics quiz for you to take. It will take about 15 minutes, but is worth your time.
After you take the test, you’ll get to look at some alarming statistics showing that US Colleges and Universities are failing at teaching civics. For many questions, graduating college seniors score lower than incoming freshman. Why [...]

As you know… I love computer games. Our family (most of us) can’t get enough Jellocar these days. Maybe you’ll enjoy playing it over the Thanksgiving holiday.
If you have Windows or Xbox360 I’d call this one a MUST DOWNLOAD. I bet you’ve never played anything like it before. It seems like the perfect game to [...]
