This song has a great beat, that’s the hook for sure. And that hook’s what’s got me posting these lyrics, along with the particular theme. It’s a little spooky, just right for HALLOWEEN!

Crows… Spoooooky
Heard earlier today, on the eve of Halloween, some great insights -- and not the least bit spooky -- but well worth your time to give a listen. Science is cool. Learning about other species is cool. Crows are cool. one.npr.org/i/760666490:774567006
A Dad’s List, #6 : A Daughter and The Pumpkin Patch
Really this post is more, “a dad’s list in pictures.” I was super lucky a couple weeks back: I took the day off to go with my younger daughter and her class to the pumpkin patch. It was the best of both worlds. I got to be with my daughter, but also see her in …

It's a destination I've been visiting off and on for the better part of 20 years (I love that phrase, …
