I Dare You!
Well, the change-over to the new blog site went pretty smoothly, with only a couple of problems. As I said yesterday, you will have re-subscribe if you want to receive the blog via email.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Calvin’s Last Visit From Hobbes
If you’re aware where the name’s Calvin and Hobbes came from, you should be able to figure out where the name of the grandson came from. Thanks to David Cross for this.

Regular blog readers will remember my great-niece’s Stahlie and Darby, who recently traveled to China. Well, I just found out that Darby has had an online business for a few years. Called The Elegance of Time, Darby does custom sewing making one of a kind dresses and costumes. This one is the Ice Princess dress from ‘Frozen’
And this one is from ‘Lord of the Rings’.
Check out her site on Etsy.

The weather, it is a changin’.
You’ve probably heard about the Polar Vortex sweeping though the Mid-West over the next few days. The temps here are going from the mid-80’s to the high 60’s in the daytime, and into the low 50’s at night.
And in other news, Brisbane, Australia just recorded their lowest temperature in 103 years. And in the Antarctic, they’ve just recorded the most ice ever seen there.
Isn’t Global Warming wonderful?

About 5:30 we headed over to Nick and Terry’s for big bowls of Terry’s Pork Green Chile Stew, really good on this rainy evening.
And after all the good food, we had a dessert of Jan’s Cranberry Christmas Cake, with Terry furnishing the real whipped cream. Jan made this for this past Christmas, and it was just as good this time.
Jan and I finally headed home about 8:30, making a run for it in between thunderstorms. And it looks like more of the same tomorrow.
