A free day about London and on the case of the elusive Royal Observatory at Greenwich

But what does [...]

Tofu: Yoga instruction from a dachshund

Over on the dog blog today, find out why dachshunds make for really poor yoga instructors. Maybe you knew that already. But Tofu tried to convince me otherwise.

The gift that keeps on giving

So, it’s March already. The holiday season is far behind us unless you include March break or St. Patrick’s day. If we’re being honest, those are not so much seasons as excuses to drink though. But I digress. Cokebaby and I did a bit of furniture rearranging recently in order to prepare for refinishing our [...]
