What’s super fun for kids and free for parents? Well, free for parents who live in most parts of the country, anyway… AUTUMN LEAVES! Last week my kids had a blast playing with the leaves in the back yard. It might cost time and money to dispose of the once beautiful fallen leaves, but before […]
Not the Chicago Bears… No, they stink. Sure they beat a miserable Cleveland Browns team this weekend, but so could the team of Taylhis, Sublife, and Morat. It is actually our local highschool football team, the Bryan Golden Bears. This is the FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY the football team is in the playoffs. How’s

Another blog here on tangents.org who was describing cool kids’ Halloween costumes reminded me of some high tech Halloween costumes I saw on the internet last week and forgot to post.

Today at our second rehearsal, we got to watch the original 1947 classic film starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore. I now wonder why It’s A Wonderful Life has not been a holiday tradition along side the myriad versions of A Christmas Carol and other movies. I thought it was extraordinary for the

WHEW! I have to admit that we totally overdid it on Halloween, but in a good way – at one point in the evening, my 5-year-old said “how many parties are we going to?!? We threw a Halloween-themed game night on Friday, complete with things like spider venom, truth serum, and rat vomit for drinks

Unless of course you are reading from some part of the world which is still living in October 31st. My holiday was EXCELLENT even with the working part. Friday, I got into my vampire costume complete with double-layered cape, full facial makeup, tuxedo, the whole nine yards. I even got to frighten my young nieces.

Tonight, the cast of It’s a Wonderful Life met to have a mass read-through of the script. I must say that I did not know that there were so many characters of such evil intentions in the literature surrounding what is traditionally known as the “most wonderful time of the year.” First, we have Ebenezer

Like in a newspaper’s picture caption. Many locals make fun of our county’s newspaper; pointing out miscellaneous typos, erroneous information and errors, but today’s typo in the following picture caption is kind of a big oopsie: The line for the H1N1 virus snakes through the parking lot at the County Fairgrounds Wednesday afternoon. Obviously our
