Live from Frederick

It’s a video blog!

A few notes about the video: The song played during the Sideling Hill sequence of photos is “Train’s Up in the Sky”, by the now defunct band Mylon Lefevre and Broken Heart. I was a big MLBH fan back in the day (as in the mid to late-80’s). The second song is […]

David Sedaris’ Stadium Pal

David Sedaris is a playwright and commentator, an NPR favorite of ours on This American Life. We download their podcasts every week and it’s a treat to hear his voice and settle in for a good story. His sense of humor and timing make us laugh aloud. Here’s a video as an example for you. […]

Links display in my WordPress blog sidebar

I want users to have ready access to my various blogrolls and links, but I want the links to appear in my sidebar in the form of expandable content or as drop-down lists. I know I can use Blogrolling’s script in a text box widget and it works just fine; I just don’t want to […]
