I’ve been looking for a new craft to try. I’m not much of an artistic type; generating artsy things isn’t my best ability, though I can copy pretty well. I first came upon pour painting when you make paintings from various techniques of pouring, tilting and smearing paint. That’s pretty neat but It takes some … Continue reading What the Boss Likes and from the Bar – alcohol in crafts and some beers

What the Boss Likes – update on the remodel, random things I’ve enjoyed
The kitchen is finished all but for the painting. Since this was nice fresh drywall, I had to give it two coats of sealer/primer and now am *finally* getting the color layer on, a lavender called “garden fairy” (I want a job naming colors). I’m doing a high gloss finish since it’s a kitchen and … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – update on the remodel, random things I’ve enjoyed
What the Boss Likes (kinda) and From the Bar – the great kitchen remodel continues and some beers
We are a week into the Great Kitchen Remodel of 2017. The kitchen (and the small bathroom just off it) has been gutted to the studs. One of the guys doing the work (and they are really talented) said plaintively “Why did you use so MANY nails mr. guy from the early 20th century!) This … Continue reading What the Boss Likes (kinda) and From the Bar – the great kitchen remodel continues and some beers
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the twit of the year
Perhaps, if you aren't from the US, you haven't see our ignorant and arrogant president making a fool of himself again, with trying to claim that Time magazine wanted him on the cover but he declined. Since Donnie Trump has lied before, we can be pretty sure this is a lie too, and we do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the twit of the year
What the Boss Likes – a random assortment of things
Haven’t had much of an urge to write a blog post lately. Work has become a real pain since I have a new boss who doesn’t know anything about the job and who hates using computers. Of course, that’s all we use and trying to get new boss to do anything is damn near impossible. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a random assortment of things
What the Boss Likes – Longwood Gardens (and a quick recipe)
Across the first weekend in September, we went to Longwood Gardens, one of the estates that used to be owned by the DuPont family (the chemical people). This is one of the more famous gardens in the US and is quite beautiful. They just spent $90 million to refurbish the main fountain gardens and were … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Longwood Gardens (and a quick recipe)
What the Boss Likes: So we went to Boston
About two weeks ago now, we took an extra-long weekend up to Boston. My spouse has been working on a fiction story set there (and in New England, Cthulhu donchaknow? 😊 ) and it seemed as good as any place to vacation. We took the train overnight to the city. That made for one long … Continue reading What the Boss Likes: So we went to Boston
From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo!
Well, we never made it to the March for Science. I did watch it on CSPAN, and they had pretty good coverage of it. Some of the signs were priceless. I did like the one that read something like “we knew it was going to rain because of science”. I find it terribly weird that … Continue reading From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo!
From the Kitchen and the Bar – samoa pie, and wine
The samoa in the title is the Girl Scout cookie. My spouse *loves* them. They are basically a shortbread cookie covered in caramel, toasted coconut and chocolate. They still are pretty good, though many of the cookies seem to less than what I remember. Of course it could simply be the glow of nostalgia. I, … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – samoa pie, and wine
What the Boss Likes – you need this app: NASA’s Eyes on the Earth
http://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/eyes-on-the-earth.html real time satellite stuff. Once downloaded, you can change among what you view. If you go to the "missions" tab at the right, you can look a certain sat's stuff. I recommend GRACE, which does gravity. I'm going to guess that the f*cktards now in power will try to kill it.
