Since many of you have sent me emails in which it seems you want me to share information, links, and pictures with the rest of the club, I have decided to start a blog so that anyone can post comments and others can decide whether or not they wish to read your contributions and I don't have to make difficult decisions.
Be sure to bookmark this website and visit it often. Be sure to click on "Comments" and read what your fellow bears have to say. And be sure to add your own comments. Check for quizzes, links, pictures and other nonsense. I have plenty of time to fool around with this site. Could get controversial!

Hey Bill,
If you are looking for comments, I have a few:
Wash your t-shirts and sox, get a haircut and fix some of those pannini sandwiches you make.
I think I'll like this blog!

Here's a good time-waster:

Do you think it's fixed?

Hey bears! I guess you have to sign up to be a google blogger to do this? I am not up on my technology.
I am glad to be a polar bear and am hoping to make connections with some new people - it isn't easy to do when you travel.

Bill, I will have to have Emily teach me how to blog. I hear she is good at it. Not even sure if you will get this.

Hi bears,
If any of you are too warm, go to Panera's. They believe in global freezing. The mice are playing hockey in the toilets.

OK Bears:
That last comment was not me.....it's Bill playing around on my laptop. He's just trying to rub it in that we're hanging out at Panera's and you're probably doing something a little less relaxing.
Ciao,Jan
Hello fellow polar bears. Since we are not big book readers, but are Netflix junkies, I'll post DVD's we have watched that we think will be of interest. The other night we watched a Neil Young concert titled: Neil Young; Heart of Gold. It was from 1996, and he previewed songs from his CD Prairie Wind. He also sang some of his old stuff too. The concert was in Nashville at the Ryman Theater. If you are not familiar with the Ryman, this is where the Grand Ole Opry originated. It's an old theater full of country music history. We are also currently watching the Six Wives of Henry VIII. This is a PBS miniseries from the 1970's. So far we've seen the demise of the first two wives: Kathryn of Arragonne and Ann Bolyn. Kathryn died in exile when Henry broke away from the Catholic church to start the Church of England by divorcing her. Ann was beheaded when she was charged with treason on trumped-up charges that she committed adultery with several men of the court and her brother of all people! Anyways, she could not produce a male heir to the throne-so off with her head!! We'll probably watch Netflix tonight since Doug got pocket aces cracked by pocket Queens in today's poker tournament here in New Orleans!! We'll write more later, Doug & Karen
Polar Bears, I just finished reading Simple Genius. Book moved quickly and characters were well developed. I have read some of the authors other books The Winner and Christmas Train and found this to be just as entertaining. I am currently reading a Scott Turow book entitled " Ordinary Heroes" pretty difficult to follow but if you like historical fiction and WWII this might be pleasurable for cubs looking to learn some history without long winded lectures like the history staff at Alliance High
I would like a pannini sandwich for lunch if you two are offering to drop them off or come eat with us 5B, that would be a great break from the normal menu and it is not cold in the staff lounge....and if it is we will warm it up with conversation!!!
Hi Polar Bears! Sarah is definitely right about the conversation warming you up during 5B lunch. So if you're cold, come on down!
Recently I have read "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards and "Lost and Found" by Jacqueline Sheehan. I really enjoyed "The Memory Keeper's Daughter", mainly because it deals with a family having a child with special needs. It was interesting reading a book dealing with the family's side of having a child with special needs and the decisions that they make. Be prepared to cry at the end. The other book, "Lost and Found" was a quick, non-tear jerking read about a woman and dog she rescues. I am planning on starting "The Memory of Water" by Karen White. The book jacket sound interesting: two sisters dealing with their mother's death on the ocean.
Sorry J, but I'm not into historical fiction. I'd rather listen to a long winded lecture than read historical fiction:)
This is a test. I'm still trying to figure this blog out. Karen
Karen passed the test. A+ (actually twice)
Hi Bill,
I think having your own blog is a perfect way for the "humble genius" to spread his word to the masses.
Hi Polar Bears! I did spend some time this long holiday weekend reading and I did finish "The Memory of Water" by Karen White. It is a really good book about unconditional love between siblings, parents, and grandparents that live near each other. "The Memory of Water" really makes you think about how much you truly love your siblings and family members and being able to forgive them. The book is divided into mini sections with various characters giving their side of the story. It is not too hard to follow exept for the sections of the two sisters. Mental health issues are touched upon in the story too. Now, I have to return to my pile of books I've been buying and decide which one to read next.

Hi everyone! I've finished reading the most recent paperback by Mary Higgins Clark , "I've heard that song before". It is a really good and keeps you thinking the whole time. I thought I figured out who it was, but I was so wrong. I love that about a book because it keeps you hooked until the last word. Don't let the fact it's a thick book get to you. It is really a quick read.
