Those of you who’ve been following this site for a while might remember a post where I mentioned I was receiving another woman’s emails. A woman with the same name, same spelling, and same preference for lackluster email addresses. She lived in Texas. Do you remember that? Funny. I didn’t. You see, last week I… Read More Third party marketers should learn to spell
Last Tuesday, sometime in the late afternoon, the Feeding on Folly site went down. A light within the blogging universe was extinguished. Did you sense it? Alas, it was a dark day, my friends. A dark three days, to be exact. Our Feeding on Folly Lady was not seen again until late Friday evening, when… Read More Like a phoenix, we rise from the ashes! aka: surviving blog failure
Oh, HELLO THERE! After my last post… let’s see… when was that again? … *checks notes*… oh geez, was it really over two weeks ago? Ah man, I’m sorry about that!

We’re taking a break from our normally scheduled post for a brief discussion on cocktails. Specifically, regional differences in cocktails. We’ll be talking about food too, because when imbibing alcohol, the partaking of food is always a wise choice. For some context, we’ve been doing a bit of work on our house and felt we… Read More Bloody good time with a Bloody Mary
In our last episode, you learned that I spent the week in Storm Lake, Iowa, attending Synod School with a bunch of Presbyterians. Six hundred and thirty-nine of them, to be exact.

Right now I am in Storm Lake, Iowa. Learning great truths and experiencing deep personal growth and doing some bird watching while I’m at it. Or at least I assume I am.
