Along our usual walking route, Pippin and I pass a few houses that are being restored by the local historical society. It's been a long process that still isn't finished, and while I often grumble a bit over not having access to the sidewalk for the past three or four years, I really am glad... Continue Reading →
Film Friday: Shall We Play A Game?
I asked Pippin what I should do next and he said that we should play his favorite game, and I said, "But I can't really write about that," and he said I should do another video and just show everyone the game. He even said he wouldn't mind if we had to do multiple takes.... Continue Reading →

The Callaway Cryptid Caught on Camera!
My parents live out in the country on several acres of woodland. It was a lovely place to grow up, especially for the socially awkward introvert that I have always been, and visiting is always a nice getaway. We can look out into the woods at the stunning variety of wildlife: a plethora of birds,... Continue Reading →
