Isaac's cool blogI’ve apparently had an old, broken version of this plugin listed for a while. Luckily, Christian tried it out and let me know it was broken. Thanks!
Birthdaze is a really simple plugin that adds an admin page to maintain a list of birthdays, plus a widget and template function to display the birthdays on your blog. For a little bit of privacy, only first name and last initial are displayed externally.

Within 24 hours of arriving in Anchorage I was on Kachemak Bay with my dad, looking for oysters and salmon:
I talked my father-in-law into going on a couple of trips, including one with nice weather and fun fishing:
A lot of the Anchorage-area family came down to Homer for Memorial Day weekend, so for a fun trip we went clam digging and mussel gathering in Sadie Cove:
We all went to Bishop’s Beach in Homer to fly kites and turn over rocks before heading back up to Anchorage to fly home:

Our friends Darcey and Aliza competed in a crazy race last weekend called a “Muddy Buddy,” where they biked and ran through a course on a trail at a state park near Richmond.
First Darcey started out on the bike…
I’ve been way too lazy posting this – it’s been a whole week and a half…
We met up with my mother in law last weekend for a couple of days in Boston towards the end of April. I’d been there a couple of years ago on a similarly-short trip, I think sometime in the summer. I was mostly on my own that time, so a great deal more shopping was done this time.
Ingredients:
Economic apocalypse means it’s a good time to cook some beans! First soak the dry beans overnight, maybe with a little lemon juice added to the water. Discard the soaking liquid and rinse the beans a bit. Put them in a pot, cover with water, and simmer until they’re tender and maybe a little overdone – I think that’s when the oozy bean soupy stuff happens. When they’re nearly done, dice up the onion, carrot, and celery and soften in oil, butter, or (ideally) the pan you cooked bacon in that morning. Dice up the leftover sausage and add that to the beans with the softened vegetables. Simmer a while then enjoy!
