I first saw this story on Facebook, shared by a friend who encouraged watching the video with “I would like for every softball / baseball player and coaches to watch this.” Since it is ball season, and goodness knows, we could all use some inspiration these days, I followed the link, Injury Turns into Inspiration […]
Softball Inspriation in a Hardball World

It’s a Book, Audiobook, Kindle Book…”Words, words, words”
March 24th, 2011
It’s a Book. It’s an awesome book, entitled It’s a Book. In the theme of a three year old asking “Why is the sky blue?” followed by multiple subsequent questions, our characters (a mouse, a jackass, and a monkey) explore an absolutely hilarious dialog about this thing called a book and what features it has […]
Too far, snakey, & I’m skeered of frogs
March 20th, 2011
Let’s face it. There are snakes in the country. Belly Acres is no exception. During a front porch conversation with a friend who lives in Florida, we started talking about what people had been doing lately to get rid of the snakes. I listed out all the ways I could think of to get rid […]

Dude, the guy in this video makes rearranging bookshelves look like fun! I’m thinking digital copies are MUCH easier to manage. …but then, […]
Cracked up over “If Google Search Results Had a Sense of Humor”
March 10th, 2011
Ok. I can’t help it. Some folks read trashy romance novels. Some read tabloids. My guilty pleasure recently has been Cracked.com. …can’t help it. …get posts from ’em on facebook and just can’t HELP reading them. LOL! It’s a bit irreverent, so if you’re easily offended, I don’t recommend the site for you. For those […]
Why I Love Emergency Responders
March 3rd, 2011
Ok. I obviously can’t say too much about where I work, but this clip from YouTube is a public video to explain to folks what we do at the CDP (Center for Domestic Preparedness). As for me, I work on the training manuals and materials. The second video (below), however, is why I REALLY love […]
Cathartic Tunes and Tones
March 1st, 2011
Yep. We all have THOSE days. …just want to pop in a CD, drive, and leave all our cares behind. I actually made a list of my favorite “Get Over It” songs on LM5 and some of the best reasons to play them LOUD. After a friend’s Facebook post today, however, I’m thinking that certain […]
