My Scenic route is taking a pass through steampunk this week with a fun new Kickstarter project. It’s very fun to be part of start up projects like this. So here’s the scoop for how you can get involved: Galileo Games and Imagine That! Studios have teamed up to bring you an ambitious steampunk project! The
I’ve spent the last week plotting fictional murder. And me a newly minted grandma. I should feel shame. Instead, I’m frustrated. It’s not as easy as you’d think it would be to kill off a character, even one created to be a red shirt (victim). In theory, you know all the relevant stuff, though I’ll
Okay, I just love seeing reporters knocked off their feet by storm waves and it is even funnier when the reporter is a) telling us all how dangerous the waves are; and b) he almost loses his drawers. (It is censored, so you can watch without fear.) It shouldn’t be a newsflash that putting people
Yup, today is the official start of the 2013 Hurricane season. (You have to put the year in or some people won’t know which hurricane season you’re talking about.) I blogged about preparing for the season on Monday, but today let’s talk names. I popped open the names list for the year and I have

I realized I hadn’t taken our scenic route to Yellowstone Park for a while. I believe the Park is still closed, though it might have opened by the time this post goes live. It’s been such a funky spring, it is hard to know. The hubs is a dedicated geyser gazer and will wait for
So, TWICE recently I drove to McD’s for my bacon-cheese-biscuit breakfast wearing my slippers. Twice in like, two days. (If you’re also worried about my health, don’t be. Tests came back great. Hubs is SO bitter, but that’s a different blog post. Maybe.) As I waited for the light, I found myself wondering what other
Last week I blogged about remembering my grandma and her quirky kitchen. While I was home I also took the opportunity to capture some old family photos on my iPhone. I’ve thought about this photograph a lot since I became a grandmother. I didn’t know this girl. I met her after she’d married, had children,
Have you ever felt like snarling? I did on Saturday, when I was trying to get my blogging mojo on. Or least get a blog post done. It felt like all the Muses were working against me. Like I was writing through mud. So this week my scenic route is through a snarl. It might
