From cupcakes to nuclear radiation
So far, on this rainy Saturday morning, I've learned about colic in horses, canine arthritis, nuclear radiation and tidal energy.
Kimble: What does a kangaroo sound like?
What sound does a kangaroo make? What clubs do Australian youth join? How do Australian youth serve their communities? Do toilets flush the other direction in the southern hemisphere? 4-H'ers are preparing questions for Australian youth before I head over in mid April, some more serious than others. I am honored to be one of only 4 non-Rotarians to travel with the Rotary International Group Study Exchange (GSE) this year to the state of Western ...

Celebrate the holiday with good manners
Can your child order dinner at a restaurant? Seems simple enough, right? But looking at a menu, it's easy to order up that big dinner combination, and an appetizer, a drink, cheese dip, dessert... and suddenly you don't have enough money for the meal, much less tax and tip. This time of year, we tend to have middle and high school students in the office a lot, and we all go to lunch together. It's ...
Facing fears in Hawaii
I can still remember the worst part of swimming lessons: trying to hold my head under water. I hated it, and I still do. In fact, I can't even sink if I want to - I simply can't swim underwater, or dive down to get those silly little sticks and other diving toys. And I most certainly cannot open my eyes under water, ever. So going snorkeling in beautiful Hanauma Bay in Oahu, Hawaii, was ...

I'm one of those folks who doesn't think we ought to start Christmas too early, but somehow Thursday night didn't quite seem like Christmas. Seemed a little more ...
