http://atlansky.com/blog Littering our noise on the Earth Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:06:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Our new three tap system is finally fully operational! That is my glass of cream soda. Yes, soda! We bought the book Homemade Root Beer, Soda, and Pop so we could have something on tap for the kiddos. And us. Soda is yummy! We have two taps for beer - right now ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1322 We awoke to another beautiful day in Mammoth. O was still no better, so we got him a follow up appointment at the clinic for later that morning. On the way we stopped by the earthquake fault, which the signs even admit is more of a fissure than a fault, ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1317 The Sunday of our vacation became a day of rest for O. D stayed at the condo with him and they just hung out, napped, and dosed O with medicine when his temps flew up over 104. My mom, brother, SIL, niece, nephew, XM and I took the shuttle down into ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1302 The next morning my brother took the kids out into the meadow behind the condo. They were just going to run around out there, but pretty soon they were marching off into the forest on a trail. D and I grabbed the camera and hurried to catch up. We found ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1290 As promised (and in a timely fashion), I bring you the next installment. The first thing we did on Friday morning was take O in to the doctor. She said it sounded like he had a cold, and she could barely hear a hint of a wheeze so she gave ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1278 We recently drove down through the great state of California to get together with my mom, my bro and his family, and family friends for a memorial/party for my dad. We all met up in Mammoth, an area dad went to as a kid and we went to as a ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1262 Yeah, I know, once a week isn't working out so well for me, is it? Since D is spending part of the 4th of July tending to his delicious homebrew (smoked porter is on tap, and the apricot wheat is on deck), I decided to attempt some culinary creations with the ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1255 I've always wanted to make May wine for May first, but my little patch of sweet woodruff  was growing at a snail's pace. Finally this year I had enough to spare! Sweet woodruff is cute little herb/ground cover that has been used in Germany to flavor many things. Apparently you aren't ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1247 April has been a busy month! XM is taking a ballet class which is really fun to watch. Trying to coordinate 12 little kids is like herding cats. O's school had Run for the Arts, a fundraiser that brings money for (you guessed it!) arts to the school.  XM had fun ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1241 Ahem. I'm still around! I was going to blog way back in January about O's Indiana Jones themed treasure hunt birthday party. Unfortunately I got sick and was a coughing mess for a few weeks. Then we went to Vancouver BC for my birthday and I never ... http://atlansky.com/blog/?p=1238
