A Patriot’s Day Observance

I didn’t realize this since I haven’t lived in Wisconsin for just shy of 20 years, but I have always lived in a state where Patriots’ Day is a holiday. This is notable because only three states observe Patriots’ Day: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Maine (because Maine was originally part of Massachusetts).
An interesting fact!


Superpup!

Starka plays in her new home.
Ladles and jellyspoons, say hello to Starka, our new dog. She’s a pit bull and boxer mix, about a year and a half old, and comes to us by way of the MSPCA.

Yikes! The big pig!

This Alpha Bits commercial was directly responsible for one of my most vivid memories of my childhood. My cousins Steve and Justin and I (and probably also my cousin Frank who died a few years later, but my memory of that detail is less certain) were staying over at our grandparents’ house, and we [...]


Starting Anew

To begin 2008, I’ve decided to scrap all of my previous posts and start Ataxia over with a blank canvas.  (Most of that stuff wasn’t worth reading anyway.)  Certainly, it would be an interesting exercise to read back from the last decade or so (Ataxia’s embryotic form came sometime in 1998), but in many ways [...]
