Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: It's Over

    The holidays, I mean. 

    I loved having our kids, and some friends, over. I did not love having the flu while they were here -- but we wouldn't have seen them for a while, otherwise. 

    We missed a second Sunday of church, but are hopeful we'll be in better shape later this week.

Just found this postcard on Ebay -- it's going into our next book.


Ten things entering the public domain this year -- including Popeye!

Weird news from 2024. And some of it's mighty strange...

Fun, funny and downright weird family traditions.  Including the Werewolf Seat!

Best texts of 2024.

'Amish amoxicillin' -- a natural blend that helps cure the flu. Plus another version - this one from the writer's abulela.

Who will be attending President Carter's funeral -- and what's the schedule? 

Another intriguing look at how multiple Presidents handle being seated by each other at events. Especially funerals.

The 14 predictions for 2024 that didn't come true -- and the 10 that did.

BIG rockslide in Colorado Jan. 2 -- it closed two highways in Custer County.

Sarah and her husband enjoy three months in Europe -- for only $6000!  A classic from One Hundred Dollars A Month.

A Christmas gift is hidden in the wall for 46 years -- found by the guy it was originally addressed to.

Oldest pubs in the United Kingdom -- and Europe. The grandaddy of them all dates to 560 AD, according to legend.

President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act!  This will help us so much.

And Kamala Harris presided over the Electoral College certification to finish election results. A class act -- good for her.


Have a great week.
