Max Turns 3

My fourth boy (sixth child overall) turns three today. He's no longer silent [https://thedailyeudemon.com/1870/], though he's still a coy child who prefers smiling to talking, but he often does both. Two more birthdays (Abbie, turning twelve, and Michael, turning eight) take place in

Bronze This

I'd still rather see the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame: > A German family are set to move into the Bronze Age for ten days as part of a museum exhibition. > The Borngraeber family, from Goeppingen, will wear the same clothes, prepare and eat the same

Mad Mel

Mel Gibson's mug shot has been released [http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0731062melmug1.html]. It's actually pretty good. And what about his anti-Semitic comments? I don't know. As the director of the Anti-Defamation League says, alcohol loosens the tongue and reveals what&

Brews You Can Use II

Imported beers are gaining market share in the Midwest, the heartland of American brewing. Link [http://www.postgazette.com/pg/06206/708440-34.stm]. The homeland brewers are nervous. Maybe if they weren't cranking out the likes of Budweiser, the better beers from Europe would make inroads. All

Brews You Can Use

> The First Baptist Church of Hampton Falls, NH, has a beer bottle on top of the steeple. According to the locals: A brewery owner donated $50,000 to build the church with the condition that everyone was to know he donated it. The church, worrying about the morality of

Of Course It's Boring

Interesting piece by Helen Kirwan-Taylor, a mother/writer who says her children bore her. The later article makes a few decent points (I, too, don't know why "good" parents have to attend every blasted sporting, band, or artistic event; moreover, I detest it when parents
