I’ve been hearing — and reading — about comet PANSTARRS on Twitter for days now, so Chad and I decided to pull out the telescope after dinner to see if we could spot it. It was supposed to have the easy-to-use marker of the sliver moon, which it would be … Continue reading
So, Chad’s in a play-by-forum game of MouseGuard over on rpggeek.com. And when someone posted this, well, he just had to show me: “Look, whenever I start feeling anxious, or nervous, or angry, I knit.” [Halwyn] holds up a paw to forestall her amused response. “It’s true! My mother taught … Continue reading
Today, I built a machine that’s powered entirely by THE SUN! Okay, technically I just put the motor together, from a kit. And I don’t even know if it works because it was foggy and rainy all day. Not to mention that by the time I finished it was dark … Continue reading
When I woke up this morning, I couldn’t hear. It is the strangest sensation. I’ve been battling an ear infection for the past week. Excruciating pain at first, enough to force me to the doctor for pain meds and antibiotics when it didn’t clear up on its own after a … Continue reading

I realize I haven’t posted about any geocaches recently, but you shouldn’t take that to mean Chad and I haven’t been out looking for any. Quite the opposite, in fact. Since my last post, we’ve almost doubled our find count, up to 27, and even completed our first geocaching challenge. … Continue reading
NOTE: This geocache blog might contain spoilers. As with all things geocaching, proceed at your own risk. I need a bigger backpack. I decided this after our geocaching outing Sunday. Ever since we started caching, we’ve been making mental notes of things we should take with us to make … Continue reading

It was a gorgeous, sunny day, and we knocked out six easy caches in downtown Kernersville. Because this post … Continue reading
