Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Badminton at the Speed of …?

One morning back in August, shortly after I started this blog, I saw a demonstration of this new sport called speedminton on Fox and Friends. I thought the game was cool and innovative, but didn’t hear much more about it. It appears to be a hybrid of badminton and racquetball, but you don’t need a court to play. You need only a racquet, a special “speed” shuttlecock (that can reach velocities of 175 mph), and two people. To learn more about it, check out the Speedminton USA website.
