Russ's Outer Banks Blog: July 2013
http://obxjournal.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Russ's Outer Banks Blog. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. The limits of texting revealed. There is no doubt I love technology. But as addicted as I am where smartphones, the iPad, streaming audio and video, surround sound and computers are concerned, there is a limit to the usefulness of all this space-age tech. Let me set the scene. I am munching on a 6-inch tuna sub at a table directly adjacent to the front door of the restaurant. Let me put a qualifier on "dad" by adding the word "peripatetic". But the child...

Russ's Outer Banks Blog: Time travel confirmed
http://obxjournal.blogspot.com/2013/07/time-travel-confirmed.html
Russ's Outer Banks Blog. Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Being a sci-fi fan I have always been interested in the concept of time-travel and the possibility of a rift in the space-time continuum. But like ghosts, ESP and alien space ships crashing in New Mexico, I've never believed. Enter my mostly tech-challenged spouse. Suddenly, time is nothing but a concept and "real time" no longer exists at our abode. It all started with the DVR from Direct TV. But the DVR she mastered in about 30 minutes. I never know if ...

Russ's Outer Banks Blog: December 2010
http://obxjournal.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Russ's Outer Banks Blog. Wednesday, December 1, 2010. More Bans From Our Friends In Government. Yesterday was yet another bizarre day in annals of government intervention into free choice. Two bans were imposed by the state of North Carolina, and the one common thread is both have a tie to what many consider to be "sins". This concept is so entrenched that taxes on tobacco and alcohol, especially in the South, have often been referred to as "sin taxes". And today, a ban goes into effect on video sweepsta...

The Knitting Llama: First Knitting Post!
http://knittingllama.blogspot.com/2009/03/first-knitting-post.html
Like crossing Martha Stewart with a camelid. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. So I know you're all thinking "the blog is called The Knitting Llama, but there aren't any llamas, and there isn't any knitting - I want my money back! So it would constantly curl up. Worst. Scarf. Ever. I still have it somewhere, though I'll never wear it. It's a symbol of accomplishment now, nothing more. If you're using them to wash dishes, who cares if they look bad, right?

The Knitting Llama: March 2012
http://knittingllama.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Like crossing Martha Stewart with a camelid. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Trip to Alexandria, VA (part deux). It was still early, so we decided to walk up and down King Street, where we spotted a sign for a wine and coffee bar called Grape Bean. We talked about the pattern, knitting while drinking, it was fabulous! We probably spent two hours in the wine bar, since it was dark by the time we left. After more wandering, we finished the night at Mai Thai. Restarting the blog and cleaning out the freezer!

Russ's Outer Banks Blog: May 2010
http://obxjournal.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Russ's Outer Banks Blog. Sunday, May 30, 2010. Bobby Rollason -About Bonds and Friendship. At a remote hunting camp near Windsor, NC, where Bobby Rollason. Loved to hunt with his friends, a crowd gathered around a small tent, situated beneath a deer stand. Three young Ft. Bragg soldiers flanked a table that held pictures, a wide screen TV, flowers, and the ashes of a fallen brother- Bobby Rollason. An amazing bond that transcended a generation to bring these men together- the living and the fallen. Appea...

The Knitting Llama: Restarting the blog and cleaning out the freezer!
http://knittingllama.blogspot.com/2012/03/restarting-blog-and-cleaning-out.html
Like crossing Martha Stewart with a camelid. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Restarting the blog and cleaning out the freezer! So, yeah, life happens and the first thing to go is the blog, of course. That and writing a dissertation for 10-12 hours a day makes writing in the down time exceptionally hard, but that's been over for more than a year, so I have no excuse not to start up again! 2) I apparently buy frozen Brussels sprouts and spinach every time I go to the store. This is getting a bit silly. Half an ...
