Restaurant Tour

| Vicky, as prone to car-sickness as any other Starcevic descendant, assumed Gerald’s privileged front seat position and left her husband to sort through the crumbs and Archie comic books littering the rear seat of my Mazda. He made appreciative noises for the latter half of the twenty minute car ride which leads me to believe he may have consumed the crumbs without condiment. |
Lego Thimgs
Posted on December 8, 2009
On Saturday we visited the Henry Ford Museum and the touring Lego exhibit.
 Once the wall segments are prepared, the handlers place them upon the castle. Here you see Samantha creating her first piece of fortress wall. |
 There were helpful templates strewn about the supplied tables. Most of which were within child-arm’s reach of plastic bins of multicolored brick. Here you see Sam’s second fortress segment nearing completion. I enjoy the color pattern nearly as much as she did..Each assembled segment is added to the diaphenous fortress by the Lego handlers. |
 At 3:00PM (20:00gmt) the children contributors, surrounding the structure, were invited to strike it down and place the component bricks into the selfsame bins from which they came. The tear-down took no more than two seconds. Sam’s traveling companion, a fellow ADHD girl named Cayla, ran from the aggressive crowd which was. Sam fit in well with that sort and she emerged minutes later flush and happy with the destruction she’d been a part of. |
Vampires: The New Sexy
Posted on December 5, 2009
Twilight is pretty much the hottest thing out, right now. The first two films in the series have been breaking box office records, and your esteemed blogger Arthbard has just been given a special sneak preview of the third movie.
I know! I was as surprised as anyone!
Anyway, in this film Bella has a brand new vampire love interest who I predict is going to be even more popular than the Edward Cullen character of the previous films.
The movie is still several months away from release, but I’m pleased to be able to show you this trailer, which is presented in comic format for some reason.
Just go with it!
