I’m no spammer, as my recent attempts to promote my Blackhat Fish contest post proves. I thought I’d pop in to the other contestants’ posts and leave a comment linking to my post, but you know what? It’s hard to come up with comments that include links and don’t look…
You’re probably wondering what “Blackhat Fish” means, right? What about SEO, do you know what that is? If you have a blog or a website, especially a business website, you need to know about SEO! SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it’s the strategies that help your site come…

Kermit sure had it right when he sang “It’s not easy being green…” Of course, if you’ve seen Sesame Street recently you’ll know that Oscar sings it too, but in my mind it’ll always be Kermie’s song. Teacher and I are discovering just how challenging it is to be green…

One of Jim’s dreams while in America was to see the Great Lakes for himself. He asked Teacher about flying to see Lake Superior, but Teacher told him that Lake Michigan was just an hour away. “By bus?” Jim asked. Apparently Thailand has an extensive system of buses that Jim…
Little Guy was hamming it up the other morning so I snapped a series of photos. If you look closely at his little finger you’ll see me wrapped around it. Yeah, I’m a total marshmallow when it comes to the kids, but I can’t help it – they’re so cute!…
