Good Grief!

Last week, Scott suggested that Rickett the Hedgehog, a skeeball prize acquired at the Bloomsburg Fair, should have his own blog. Rickett is not good at typing, but he has managed to e-mail some photos.

It’s good to know that Rickett is making new friends and adjusting to life in the big city. It’s […]

Finally, I finished Dave Eggers’ You Shall Know Our Velocity. Isn’t that a great title? The book is about two friends, Will and Hand, who embark upon a week-long trip around the world to give away $32,000. Why? Something about the recent loss of their friend Jack, who was killed when […]

Actually, a lack of clouds isn’t always desireable, since nothing adds interest […]

If people were after you, trying to turn you into chips, fries, hash browns, or a delicious pierogie, you’d probably wear a disguise too.

bloomsburg food potatoheads travels wtf?

A confession: even though I wrote about delicious homemade pierogies and their role in last year’s Fairmount voter fraud, I had never actually tasted a homemade pierogie, delicious or otherwise.
But on Saturday night I ended up at the Bloomsburg Fair by accident, and many church ladies were there, cooking up these little pieces of […]
