New Blog

After much preparation and several slight headaches, the new blog is up!  Enjoy!

Kenzie's World

Kenzie now has his own blog.  I wrote the "About Me" section, but he's doing everything else without anything more than occasional technical help.  I've put the link at the top left of this page. He'd love some comments!

Cross Section of Our Day

Kenzie's listening to KGSR on the radio and creating his own Yu-Gi-Oh cards with colored pencils.  The electric pencil sharpener that sits on our kitchen table is getting quite a workout.  Each card has an extra-high attack and defense, and most of them say things like, "No one can win against him."

Terry's put up a few ads about in-home computer software tutoring and is now out helping a man learn Macromedia Dreamweaver.  His prices are so competitive, and he's such a wonderful instructor, that I can see this taking off in a big way.  We're crossing our fingers.

I'm working on the magazine while craving a portobello mushroom burger.  I had my first one last week, and I've been drooling for more ever since - and this from a girl who once hated all mushrooms.  Suddenly, this is my favorite sandwich - a portobello mushroom grilled in olive oil and a slice of provolone cheese on homemade bread.  Maybe I need to make a quick trip to the grocery....

Filling the Sink

Well, fifteen pounds of honey, three limes and several ounces of dried hibiscus and chamomile, and we'll soon have a new mead to try out.  The house smells lovely - more tea-like than honey-like - and the sink is filled with strange beverage-making implements: a huge funnel, long tubes, pitchers, scrub brushes, wire mesh and a giant stock pot.  Time to do the dishes and wash the honey from the floor....

Acoustic Crush

We've spent the morning watching Nickel Creek videos and discussing instruments, music genres (and their blendings), talent, fame, etc.  Kenzie has always loved to watch Sara Watkins, and he sits with rapt attention whenever she sings.  My first celebrity crush?  Chad Allen (and I still have the photo and form letter he sent back... somewhere).  Kenzie's first celebrity crush (three years strong, now) is arguably much more talented.  Unfortunately, Nickel Creek's not coming to Austin any time soon (save for the Austin City Limits Music Festival in September - way too pricey for us), so he'll have to be content with their cds and videos.  I wonder if they have any posters....
