Another Trip of a Lifetime

Starting tomorrow we are going to embark on an amazing cross country trip to CA and back. Over 22 days of travel through 14 different states, visiting 11 different national parks.  We will be staying in 5-6 different biomes.  Cabins, air bnb, hotels and my brothers brother's place will all be our home for the next month.  I will be posting pictures and observations here and on Facebook for those of you with access to that.

We will be facing a pandemic, riots and now a tropical storm in AL...but it's going to be great!! Stay tuned!

Cranberry & Sage Triscuits: Thanksgiving Leftover Topper

Today I made an appetizer based off of a Thanksgiving themed Triscuit box.  Cranberry & Sage Triscuits topped with sliced turkey, stuffing, some herb goat cheese (instead of brie) and cranberry sauce.

The result was ok.  Jellied cranberry sauce is definitely lacking in  presentation wow.  But who likes whole cranberry sauce?  Ick.

Clear!!!! I think we might have a pulse!

I've let this thing languish unattended for too long. and I can't let it go just yet. Not exactly sure what to do with it, but when I figure that out I'm sure I'll do something.

This is a true story

I can't even begin to tell you how badly I need this to be real.

We were chatting a bit about them on Facebook but Wow!!

I am really digging me this band. I thought I might share a few tracks for those not in the know.

Kids are great...classes rock! I can teach physics and talk about the wonders of plasmonics with 12 year olds.

On top of that they laugh at my jokes.

A yes time for a new meme. This one takes lousy pop songs, or not so lousy ones and timestretches them using programs like audacity and Paulstretch. They are 8 times longer...some of them have amazing soundscapes.

Metafilter likens it to "Sigur Ros doing Vangelis covers in a cathedral being washed away by the sea." (Here's the original.)
