DaughterGeeding turned 16 yesterday. That will come as a shock to some of you, longtime readers, all of whom I really appreciate.


I used to mark DaughterGeeding and BoyGeeding’s height on a door frame when we all lived at GeedingManor. Before we sold it and moved out, I actually cut the thing out and took it with me. It’s been a while since I last measured them. It looks like DaughterGeeding won’t be getting any taller, but BoyGeeding (age 14) has had a nice growth spurt.


Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan faces a challenge from a familiar-sounding rival – Dan SullivanThe National Republican Senatorial Committee accused Democrats of planting a candidate with the same name to throw off voters

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – The race over whether incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, will keep his seat is one which has gained national attention after former Democrat congresswoman Mary Peltola threw her hat into the ring, but Peltola is far from the only person running to unseat Sullivan, and the latest name is one familiar to both Alaskans and Sullivan.

Because it’s Dan Sullivan.

Dan Sullivan, a Petersburg candidate who has the same name as Alaska’s sitting U.S. senator, announced Friday that he’s entering the race for the senate seat. And no, he’s not the former Anchorage mayor, also of the same name.


For some reason, this article about Snow’s BBQ thought this cut of brisket looked appealing. Snow’s is legendary, and it’s a shame that photo was used. I highly doubt Ms. Tootsi would cook such an abomination.



Don’t fall for this rumor.

The series usually airs as a marathon on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and I always make an effort to watch it. So, reading this People article meant a lot to me. Granted, there’s not much more than the headline.

From The Guardian: Republican mistrust in healthcare widens US health gap, study findsRepublicans increasingly avoid doctors and vaccines, widening health gaps with Democrats, researchers say

Past research has found that Republicans’ hesitation to vaccinate against Covid-19 has meant they suffered more death from the pandemic than Democrats. But O’Brian’s study showed that even different vaccination rates don’t completely explain the difference in health outcomes – a lack of overall trust in the medical system is also contributing.

The study relies on survey data collected in 2024 and O’Brian suspects that the health gap has only continued to worsen during the second Trump administration, which began in January 2025.


I didn’t know a Stranger Things-like music video of a kid being dared to go to the top of a haunted Baker Hotel on Halloween existed. Two thumbs up on his costume choice of “Benny the Jet” Rodriguez from The Sandlot.
