Musical Minds – only available online through 7-7-09 but I thought I’d note this website so I can check and see if it might be rebroadcast at sometime in the future.
Nova Program – Musical Minds
July 6, 2009 by dugglesGoogle Books
June 26, 2009 by dugglesI heard about this months ago, but I am just now coming to realize what an incredible library is at our disposal!!! Google Books is just loaded with classic literature! You can add books to your library for easy and fast retrieval and read them online. You can also search for words or phrases within each book.
The first book I added to my library was Evan Esar’s “20,000 Quips & Quotes”. Being very much into quotations, Esar has always been a subject of my interest. I recently added Welty’s “The Optimist’s Daughter” which I’ve been planning to read and Mencken’s “The American Language”. Now all I need is time to read…..

Kerrville Folk Festival
May 14, 2009 by dugglesIt’s Thursday night and I started packing up for the trip. Patty and I leave early Wednesday morning. I’m trying to decide if I will be using this WordPress blog or Facebook to post pictures and notes on the festival this year. I’m sorta thinking it’s gonna depend on how easy it is to upload pictures…
stay tuned…
Three Mile Island – Steve Brooks
April 4, 2009 by dugglesHere’s a link to a story written by my friend Steve Brooks. It’s a good read. Steve says that the Statesmen (in Austin TX) refused to publish it so he just sent it out in his newsletter… He said it was okay to forward it so I thought I’d save it for posterity on the Happenstance website.

We all need “Validation”
January 19, 2009 by dugglesGreat 15 minute movie!! It’s a modern day fable that starts out about a guy validating parking tickets, but evolves into a wonderfully uplifting movie!
Family Tree
July 3, 2008 by dugglesOne of my grandchildren (Dustin) was asking me about our family tree today. I was wishing that I had a way of putting out on the web for the family to look at. I told him that I had looked into doing that in the past but hit some snags. I think the problem was that I wanted to display it in tree form. I still haven’t found a good way of doing that, but I did find that the program I have it in can create a web page that is at least a workable alternative until I can find a way to display it as a tree.
Here’s the link…

You can click on names and move back and forth up and down the tree… pretty clunky by my estimation, but it’s betther than nothing. It does include notes and a lot of birth/death/marriage data.
I’m still looking for a better way to display the tree.
It’s also accessible from my personal home page:
