One of those things I remember from my childhood was a cake Mom used to make us. It was called a Wacky Cake… or perhaps Whacky Cake. It’s an eggless cake that was developed during WWII… or perhaps a bit earlier, during the Great Depression. Whatever, it was one of my favorite deserts. As IContinue reading “Wacky Cake”

Out With the Old
The other day I indicated I’d write a further entry regarding our weekend. This story starts in about 2000. Yes, it’s that old. And no, I don’t recall exactly which year. We had been living in our home about a year when we noticed that the bathtub was draining slowly. I used the plunger onContinue reading “Out With the Old”
Been a long time
Goodness! It’s been nearly 5 weeks since I posted last! Bad Eric! Bad! As you know I started off this year intending to post daily… then weekly. I never, however, expected to fall 5 weeks behind. We do have a couple of excuses, however. So, what’s been happening over these lost 5 weeks (yes, LOST…)Continue reading “Been a long time”
My One True Bliss
Years ago, I came across a little booklet about coffee, extolling its virtues and relating several little stories. I have no idea where this book might have gone, or what it’s title. So, I cannot vouch for the efficacy of these facts. One interesting story related was that coffee was initially quite scorned in Europe.Continue reading “My One True Bliss”
Unintentionally Allegorically So
In my last entry, I alluded to an online serial novel I am reading. It is a science fiction story set in a vastly different universe. To describe what it is about would be quite difficult, and to be honest would be outside what my point is today. However, I do need to fill inContinue reading “Unintentionally Allegorically So”
Mushy Stuff
In the early 1970’s, shortly after I started High School if memory serves, Mom & Dad discovered the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and dragged me along with them. I’m not sure, actually, how my own involvement began. Perhaps they actually DID drag me along. I suspect they, ahem, encouraged my attendance at first; eventually I knowContinue reading “Mushy Stuff”
Walkin’
I’ve been doing a lot of walking. I started up again after learning earlier this year that my diabetes was out of control. I like walking. I’ve been trying to get in 12000 steps (6 miles) a day. Generally I haven’t been all that successful. But I TRY! I learned this morning that there isContinue reading “Walkin’”
Please disregard
Please disregard this post. I’m testing a problem. Is it possible to test a problem? I’ve made a change to something, and this is a test to see if that change breaks how my blog interacts with Twitter.
June 24 2012
Today I’m having trouble coming up with one of my normally witty titles. So, I’ll call it like it is. June 24, 2012. And who knows, part of me thinks that’s a good way to go forward with my future posts. All I have is some general comments on things that have happened this week,Continue reading “June 24 2012”
Dog Days of Summer
Yeah, okay, it’s not the dog days of summer. But for cryin’ out loud, I had to come up with a title! So, here’s a lesson for ya: What ARE the dog days of summer? They’re generally considered the period of summer that is hottest, normally July and August, right? But why do we callContinue reading “Dog Days of Summer”
