On my way home on the bus, I remembered my new Bread Maker was being delivered today. The Amazon product listing did not mention whether or not the maker included an initial bread making mix, so I thought I should go buy some after getting off the bus. Knowing Cub Foods would probably be overwhelmed […]

Thanksgiving proclamation
Have a safe and warm and fun, Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, everyone. Enjoy your time away from work, and enjoy this time with your family, or maybe with your friends.

Bread Maker ordered!

Been working at the project table for last couple of hours, listening to Pandora, on my “Scott Bradlee and Post Modern Jukebox” station. As you already probably know (but in case you didn’t), a Pandora station like this isn’t “all” music by that particular artist – a “station” just plays music of a similar genre, […]
