Advent Calendar Story (Owl in Winter): Day 21

Elsie had been asleep for a couple of days at that point. This was how it often was in the winter. She never slept straight through; she would drift in and out, waking up if something happened or she got hungry and then falling into dreams again for a few days, or a week orContinue reading “Advent Calendar Story (Owl in Winter): Day 21”

Advent Calendar Story (Owl in Winter): Day 18

“Codger!” The lurcher was at it again. This time, he was chasing a hare across the field. It zigged and zagged and then headed hard toward the north wood. Violet left the linens she was hanging on the line–it was a sunny day, and warm for the season. “Codger!” She shouted again against the wind,Continue reading “Advent Calendar Story (Owl in Winter): Day 18”

Colonial Thanksgiving

I love this woman’s channel: she cooks like it’s 1799, with zero commentary. This Thanksgiving dinner looks pretty legit, and you know I’m a sucker for live-fire cooking. Happy Thanksgiving! youtube.com/watch

Madame Cleo

A throwback for anyone who watched late-night TV in the 90s…. I get the biggest kick out of these shorts filmed by a mom of 2 (now 3!) sighthounds, so I thought I’d share silken windhound Cleo’s Halloween production with you. (Make sure to tune into part 2 as well. Boo!) youtube.com/shorts/4bTH5-ayvD4

Chuseok Message from ATEEZ: Don’t Nag the Ones You Love!

Chuseok is like Korean Thanksgiving; it happens at the Harvest Moon, and everyone takes time off work to see their families. ATEEZ puts out a holiday video every year, and this year my boys are back with some practical advice for their fans and their families: youtube.com/watch

Wednesday’s Child/Loading…Review of Gris

This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of beautiful games. In fact, art style is a major factor for me in choosing a game in the first place and in my ultimate rating of it. For example, Final Fantasy 7 makes pretty much every list of best gamesContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child/Loading…Review of Gris”

Wednesday’s Child: Fallout

I was reflecting on this yesterday, and I think it’s worth saying out loud (so to speak) because I wish someone had said it to me in my marriage.* If you’re in a relationship and you EVER find yourself thinking, “I’m not going to say/do anything to stick up for myself in this situation becauseContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Fallout”
