County fairs tend to have many categories of arts and crafts. Baking, canning, flower arrangement, photography, quilting, painting, and yes, often LEGO, too. Back in my youth, I took the risk of damaged

Three Tune Tuesday and Happy 10th to Me!
I should write one of these posts about fun songs. I started to write about some protest music, but got a feeling of déjà vu as I wrote, and a quick search says I shared them before. I'm not in the mood

Injury Updates, Emergency Preparations, & Assorted Opinions
Somehow a week has flown by since my last post, and I just haven't been inspired to write anything. Plenty of ideas are rattling around in my head, but nothing has gelled to the point of actually typing.

Batman Ninja: A Review
I have been a fan of Batman in film and television for a very long time. I watched reruns of the campy 1960s live-action Burt Ward and Adam West show. I saw Batman: The Animated Series, albeit intermittently.
