Back when I was going to college, there was this bizarre guy there - didn’t fit into any social niche whatsoever (which is typically appealing) - in fact, the best words I can think of to describe him are “disheveled” and perhaps “disquieting.” Anyway, once a friend of mine told me that he was in [...]

Apparently there is going to be a sequel to Donnie Darko… before you get too excited about it, know these things:
Original director Richard Kelly has nothing to do with it (that alone should make Donnie Darko fans run screaming)

My family and I will be preparing for a big change this week - my husband gave his notice at his job and will be staying home while I go to work! He will be a stay at home dad and take over all of the cooking and cleaning, some of the work on our [...]

His studies are unique because as opposed to other researchers of this matter, he delves into the locations involved.
The locations are [...]

…not blog. No - a genealogy blog is not in the ‘wurks.’
After I couldn’t find any WordPress genealogy plugins, I started blogging about a line of my family tree in a separate family tree blog that I created. Then, after only three generations took several painstaking hours of my time to write out, I decided [...]

Ok, as I mentioned in my last post, I’m planning on blogging on my family tree. I was all ready to do that right here until I thought about how I would really need to categorize each family line separately. And I don’t know that I want this blog to have all of those family [...]

I’ve decided that since this blog is all about me and my life, it would be the best place to post all of the genealogy information that I’ve gathered.
In the past few weeks I’ve visited relatives and gathered a wealth of photos and information about my family (and I still have more people to contact [...]
