    Maui: Sun And Fun Finally

    March 2, 2014 - By ginny

    More vacation meanderings – again, this post will go live about the time we return. Wednesday, 19FEB 2014 The tradewinds dropped the last couple of days, and today, finally, it dawned clear and sunny. After some essential sitting-around-the-condo-drinking-coffee time, we packed ourselves up and went a few miles north to Kapalua Bay to snorkel for the first time this trip. I own a snorkeling guide and also found a copy of Maui Revealed in the bookshelves, so was able to identify a good first snorkel spot quickly. We’ve been to Kapalua before, and although there’s a parking lot it usually…

    Maui: Beginnings

    March 2, 2014 - By ginny

    By the time this post goes live, we’ll be home, or almost home. On most trips, I start out declaring that I’m going to blog often and keep up to date, and then I fall off after about 2 days and never post Part II or whatever. Mostly this is because we get busier the later it gets in the trip, and partly it’s because David doesn’t think it’s a good idea to blog about not being home, because burglars or something (as if they read my blog, everyone knows my only readers are me, my sister, and a bunch…

    Seth Rogen Calls Out Sen. Mark Kirk For Skipping Alzheimer's Hearing

    February 28, 2014 - By ginny

    I think I love Rogen a little, or a lot, for this. Alzheimer's affected friends and family and I think it needs A LOT of government-funded research and support for families. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-comedian-calls-out-kirk-after-addressing-near-empty-senate-about-alzheimers-20140227,0,3833816.story View this post on Google+

    Diabetes Researchers at Kovler Are Dedicated But Messy Scientists

    February 18, 2014 - By ginny

    We recently toured the Kovler Diabetes Center after a recent American Diabetes Association volunteer appreciation event, and after seeing the labs we were both surprised to learn that researchers are kind of messy. http://kovlerdiabetescenter.org/research/ View this post on Google+

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
