Let’s talk about cloaks. Yes, cloaks. You know, those long-and-dramatic-yet-epically-useful creations of heavy fabric. I’m here to tell you that cloaks are awesome. “Why so awesome?” you may ask. Go ahead and ask…I’ll wait. I’ve waited long enough. Let me just go ahead and tell you why. Cloaks are awesome because they are. Imagine this: You walk into a room. No, scratch that—you glide into a room. Your cloak billows behind you and you...

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how tired you are? I do. In fact, I think about it a lot. Maybe too much. In fact, I realized something the other day, and maybe you’ve realized it yourself: The more you think about being tired, the more tired you become.  In fact, I wholeheartedly believe that tiredness begets tiredness. (And I use the word “begets” because I just don’t get to use it often enough, plus it sounds like...

Fhfyrd here. Kearth let me jump in with thoughts about fire safety. What a great guy he is…even if he does say so himself. As I comment on fire safety, Kearth asked me to remind you of his previously mentioned WireFire (Wi-Fi) invention. There you go—consider yourself reminded.  I also want to note that when following the advice you are about to read, make sure an adult is nearby you and the fire, and paying attention. It is...

Really. For example: Flying Wagon—I start with that because of course one should be invented....

Words are interesting. At least many of them are. Some, anyway. Quite a few, actually. And it’s fun to have fun with them, if you know how. Take, for example, the word “words.” If you read it forward, obviously the word is “words.” We all know that. But, if you read it backward, the word is “sdrow,” which is not an actual word as far as I know, although it should be. (I don’t know 100% why, because it is not exactly comfortable for...

I have a friend.  Believe it or not.  And believe this or not… her name is April. I know. Can you imagine? I guess December and February were taken. Ha! Seriously, though, I’m kidding. Everyone deserves to have their own name of choice (even if it is April). So, seriously, though, of course you would expect with a name like that you are going to get teased at least during a certain month of the year. Let me guess which one…...
