I just love the family at Blessed Among Men. See the latest cute thing one of the little boys had to say here.

Make a Pocket Calendar

Making CheapsterPDA

I finally got around to obtaining a pocket calendar for 2009 by making one myself. You can make one, too. Go here for a free printout and clear instructions, which are a bit different than the diagram seen here, but the same general idea.

I love how people share nifty things online for free.

A thanks to pigpogm for sharing this diagram on flickr.

'The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)
