Food has been around a long time. ;-)
Food has a fascinating history, as well. What we eat we take for granted, but what our forefathers ate was another matter entirely.
But history is not all that today's FamilyFirst pick is all about. In fact, it's more of a trivia quiz t... continue reading...

When I make a FamilyFirst choice, I try to keep in mind the fact that about a third of you are still doing the dial up thing. So I really try to be kind, bandwidth-wise, with my picks.
Unfortunately, today's pick requires a fairly fat pipeline to function well. My apologies to the non-broadband cro... continue reading...

Have you ever heard of Rachel Carson? The name just might ring a bell. She was a very famous lady in her time.
You non-Alaskans, have you ever seen a bald eagle, golden eagle, or peregrine falcon in the wild? If so, you can thank the spunky Ms. Carson.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907, and grew up... continue reading...

I've been a dog fan since I got my first one, a miniature poodle named Frisky, back in 1966. Man, that's a long time ago.
Somewhere along the line, I switched to being a fan of the miniature schnauzer, a fine German breed who is renowned for its fearlessness (sometimes to its det... continue reading...
