Back to Maryland
Describe your most memorable vacation. My family lived in Maryland for several years. We made friends there before we moved on because my dad took a reverend position here in Janesville. On one occasion my mother, my sister, and a foreign exchange student (who hadn’t been to Maryland) went for a trip to see the…

Dancing Shoes
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. Thirty years ago I got a slightly used pair of black dress shoes from a thrift store here in town. They looked good and were incredibly comfortable. I didn’t actually do a lot of dancing in them but for several years I…

Magic Pancakes
What’s your favorite thing to cook? Many years ago my wife and children were in the Women, Infant, and Children Program (WIC). At the time the program gave vouchers for specific healthy food: milk, peanut butter, cereal and the like. We also got an allotment of eggs. A WHOLE LOT OF EGGS! We struggled to…

The Commodore 64
Write about your first computer. I wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons and heard about a Commodore 64 game called Pool of Radiance. I needed the game of course which came on 5&1/4 inch floppy disks. I believe there were a total of 8 in the set. To play it I needed a Commodore 64…

Those are awesome little cars and probably my second favorite. But my favorite is a car like…

The Day I Was Born
Share what you know about the year you were born. I don’t know much about the year I was born. It’s not like I have any memories of the music or politics from when I was an infant. I’m pretty sure Simon and Garfunkel were still together and that the Vietnam War was in full…

Kid at Heart
What does it mean to be a kid at heart? I don’t think I’m really in much of a position to tell people what it’s like to be a kid. Some of my earliest memories are hanging out with the adults, having adult conversations, and being told how grown up I was. I hid in…

Woke Me
I got to stay in bed until a decent time before my son woke me for a diaper and bath. It’s been a good morning, though nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe my day will get weirder. It usually does. I did beat Adventure from Atari which is available to stream online. Brings back a…
