I am pleased to announce that I have started a new, focused blog. A Scout’s Campfire.
A Scout’s Campfire is focused on Boy Scouts, Camping and Backpacking. There will tips, stories, trip reports and even some camp recipes.
Amble over and sit by the fire…..

This is a test of Google Docs and its publishing capability. This is just a test. Using Google Docs as a publishing tool for my blog.
Results? Not real impressed right now. Title did not transfer and it did not pick up the tags to use as categories. I will continue to test, but I don’t believe it will replace the built in editor from WordPress, or wBlogger

Well, Kate has still not started posting on London Calling. So, I guess I will have to try to make her jealous of all the good times we are having on this side of the pond…..
Summer Fest has started!! Here in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC, in the town of Cary, the NC Symphony has a summer series of concerts. They play in the Koka Booth Amphitheatre. The venue is lovely and you can bring your own picnic. The concert featured Beethoven’s Fifth.
We met up with some friends, including Kate’s husband (Steve) and dad (Jim). We have been doing this for years. We each bring some wine, food to share, tablecloths and wine glasses.
This time we had Chicken Masala, Sesame Noodles (Kate’s specialty - from Harris Teeter), Dilled Meatballs, Bean Salad, and a Cheese and Meat Platter. The Chicken Masala was a little spicy, so it suited me just fine, others thought it was too hot.
We didn’t coordinate on the wine too well. We had an abundance of white and very little red. Oh well, it was still good.
The weather behaved, the symphony played. We ate and drank and fellowshipped. We even lent out our corkscrew. Seems like some sad soul always forgets to bring one…..They see us set up with tables and glasses. They just know we have a corkscrew.
I’m looking forward to this week’s concert already, Fairy Tales & Fantasies. Of course it doesn’t matter what music is scheduled. The food, wine and friends combined with the beautiful venue and NC Symphony is always a winner. Even if the weather gets a little rough. Just need to remember to bring more red wine this time.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, I took Matt and Cory with me to Mom and Dad’s. Dad warned us to bring the fishing gear. He was going to take us to a friend’s pond. We all caught fish, but this is the prize. Matt pulled a 2 1/4 pound Large Mouth Bass out. He was using a small Bream that one of the other kids had caught for bait.
Of course the real story of the day is “The one that got away”. My brother, Gary, had given up. He had been skunked, the only one who had not caught a fish. He had a line in, not really paying attention, when he got a big strike. He was using 14 pound test line, but did not have his drag set well. The fish never gave him a chance. It snapped the line within seconds. The line sounded like a bullet when it snapped.
Talk about disappointed, upset, frustrated……etc.
Oh well, that’s what keeps you coming back.

Yes, WineWiki is reborn. I have converted it to a Blog on Wine and Food. I haven’t finished choosing a theme yet, but the site is up and running. Actually, it is just another instance on spryken.com.
So far, I have completed copying my food and wine posts from “Rants and Raves” to WineWiki.
More to come……
