Mom Overture

The Many Names Of David Ryder

Remember Mystery Science Theater 3000?

Watching "B" movies with your friends, making fun of the cheesy characters and paper-thin plots?

Being a couch potato was never more fun!

Snowboarding

My very own mother alerted me to this very disturbing newsclip, showing the snowboarding phenomenon.

The Road Home

The road home.

Watseka

Classic midwestern town on a gray october day.

The famous smiley face water tower of Watseka! It was yellow for about 20 years, and recently got repainted white. I wasn't sure they'd apply the smiley face after repainting the tower white, but they did. Watseka will be smiling for another 20 years...

I should've taken this photo from about a half mile closer. The familiar blue silo was built in 1974.

May I Have This Dance

A Poem By John, Age 8

Dragsters
In a line to race
can hardly wait
finally my turn
things blurring
325 miles per hour
slowing down
parachute opening
at a complete stop
can't wait for the trophy
there it is
it says "CHAMPION" on it
we're dragsters
we're dragsters

Photo Albums Online

We're converting our online photos to shutterfly. There is a new web address to make it a little easier: tedncarolyn.shutterfly.com

We'll post links here in this blog whenever we post a new photo album, but you can also browse through the shutterfly pages and just look at old photo albums too.

There's a comment feature here on the blog, and there's also a comment feature on shutterfly. We'll be experimenting with that in the near future too.

Our version of two up means stopping both bikes side by side at a gas pump. Fill two bikes on one swipe of the card.
