The month of May can go three different ways around here: (1) it can be lovely, clear and mild, without the humidity we get most of the summer, (2) it can jump straight into the summer heat and humidity, or (3) it can not decide which way to go and do a little of...

I'm back from a quick trip where I was north of Canada - I was in Detroit last weekend. The main reason was to meet up with a friend, and we also saw an Orioles-Tigers game (the O's lost 😞), and many cool buildings and museums. I lived in Detroit many years...

OK - now spring has really sprung. I'm sitting out on my deck in the sunshine, listening to the birds call each other (or maybe insisting I refill the feeder), and contemplating getting myself a cool drink. Maybe as a reward after I complete solving the puzzle and get...

Today is the last full day of winter with the vernal equinox occurring tomorrow, 20 March 2025 at 09:01 UTC (05:01 EDT, 02:01 PDT). As spring is springing, I'm starting plans for my garden and have already begun other yard work, clearing brush and branches that have...

It's starting to feel springlike around here, and while I prefer cooler temperatures, it's nice to be able to be outside without being bundled up or having to fire up the heater. I'm really getting into the swing of this retirement thing - definitely keeping myself...

Well, I hope you stocked up on Jack Daniel's. Let's just go straight to the puzzle. Name: Sum Time Grid size: 15x15 Entries: 72 Difficulty: Very Easy (my solve time: 5:42) "Sum Time" is a punny title for a fun theme that I'm not sure I've seen before. The themers are...
