To celebrate becoming a man…

Roy Rogers decided to sport some very ‘manly’ apparel to really impress the ladies.

Four friends spend weeks planning their [...]

In my African American literature course this term I really thought hard about, and was inspired by Langston Hughes and his poem The Negro Speaks of Rivers, spoken in his mesmerizing voice. I thought about the poem, and was inspired to write about trees, something I’ve always loved and been fascinated and awed by [...]

Galaxy’s 1/2 brother (Sire’s side), owned and trained by Kathy Hannah became the 2nd Cardigan Welsh Corgi in the US to earn the Champion Tracking title.

Kathy’s comment: “At the Obedience Club of Greater Lansing’s VST test today, my red fellow, Ryan Newman Hannah passed to become only the second Cardigan to earn a tracking championship. [...]

I was listening to some jazz recordings for inspiration towards papers I’m behind on for my African American literature class (Yes, shame on me!) and one of them had a kazoo in it. I remembered how much I love the kazoo, as silly as that sounds I know, but I had to look up [...]
