Someone emailed me today asking about the Capital District Fun Facebook page. Turns out that my link (down on the left column) wasn’t working anymore. Anyway, I thought that I’d take this opportunity to ask all of you to please, please let me know if you click a link and it doesn’t work. It’s like … [Read more…]
Did anyone else see the double rainbow tonight? Gorgeous! Holy cow, people I just spent waaaaay too much time updating the playground list. If I had the technical know-how, I’m sure that I could make it more efficient, but as it is I have a convoluted system that includes steps with Google Documents, then Excel, … [Read more…]
Do you wear your favorite team’s colors for an important game? Or when you’re behind a car that hasn’t noticed that the traffic light’s turned green, do you say things like, “Okay, sir! Time to go! Move along, please!” It’s not effective. Probably. Except I feel compelled to do things like that. Somehow it makes … [Read more…]
We’re very excited at our house, because we’re leaving for Jiminy Peak on Sunday. We went on the same trip last year, too. Which somehow feels like a million years ago, not just because it was warm and rainy for that trip, but because I’d just recently started the blog. I created the Capital District … [Read more…]
Actually, I’m a day late. Yesterday, December 14th, was the one-year anniversary of my very first post. If you read it–or if you already knew me way back then–you’ll realize that I wanted to make a super-helpful database. It would have involved a lot of learning technology and doing data entry, which would be helpful … [Read more…]
Fin was buried today in a brief ceremony, comprised of some flower-scattering and a song J made up, the lyrics of which were “Fin, Fin, Fin, Fin. . . .” I would share the tune, except that it was pretty tuneless. I had attempted to press M into playing something on the recorder (it would … [Read more…]
I’m quite proud of myself because after barely managing to scrape together that playground list, I’ve written myself directions for the future. . . now I can update it in 13 easy-to-follow steps! Yay, me.  And 13 is my lucky number. So I’m just feeling good all over. I’ve also made it easier to find … [Read more…]
Okay! I’ve been saying that I’m trying to figure out a way to get information about all sorts of playgrounds, and I ‘m hoping that all of you can help me. Here’s how it works: Think of a playground that you think is worth knowing about. Click on the link to a survey and answer … [Read more…]
Hey, I realized that I’ve done more than 100 posts now! Yay, me. Actually, I’ve been a little bit bummed because after steadily climbing in readership for a while, I’ve leveled off in the last couple of weeks. It’s true that I haven’t been very good about passing around those cute cards, which would help, … [Read more…]
So, my cute husband keeps posting all of my blog posts to Facebook. Which is sweet, but I was starting to get a little embarrassed, and I said, basically, do you have to?  Then he started teasing me, complete with fluttery, effeminate gestures of indecision and distress: “Oh, I want people to read it! … [Read more…]
