If you’ve seen the video I posted about the fun we had at stART In The Park, you’ll see that we paid a visit to The Snow Ghost show (also taping at the festival). I’ve found the video they made and thought I’d share. It’s fun stuff
Snow Ghost Community Show #17: Making your own fun | WCCA TV13
Here’s the episode of The Snow Ghost Show that we dropped in on while we were at stART In The Park.
We joined up with Kaz Gamble of worcesterlove.com to capture the fun at stART. Kaz visits with festival attendees, Jacob Berendes of HBML Junk Shoppe, Sarah from imfromworcester.com, and WCCA-TV’s Snow Ghost. Kaz also visits with his dad.
It was a lot of fun to make this video. My very favorite thing about it though is the way all the bloggers interacted that day. It was really good to meet these people and (in some cases) become part of their own postings on what they saw.
Local lizard, Tycho, is horrified by unkind comments made about lizards and I don’t blame him. Tycho was so upset that he asked his human to post his plea for lizard tolerance. BTW - the photo is NOT Tycho. It’s the same type of lizard but this guy lives at the EcoTarium.read Hyphoid Logic’s post. Very funny stuff.
While you’re there, you’ll have to check this one out too. HL is on a roll today, making me laugh - and think. This second post is Hyphoid Logic’s take on the fairly recent increase in exorcisms being performed.
And in a completely different direction, Wormtown Taxi posted a scary link this morning. He found a story on the New York Times site that made me a little sick honestly. I am also sorry to say that I’m not really surprised by it. Basically, the story is about a few Harvard child psychologists that have been very involved in promoting the increase of putting kids on drugs for psych. problems not properly disclosing how much money they’ve made in consulting fees from drug companies. Like, millions of dollars worth were not disclosed for years, according to the Times. And now they are being investigated for conflict of interest. Wow. These are people who are supposed to be providing good information to the medical community so parents and doctors can do what’s best for children. How are parents supposed to trust the “experts” and be informed when this is what they do? As a parent, I send a big “thanks “to Wormtown Taxi for pointing out this article. I wouldn’t have found it otherwise. My next question though, what are parents to do to make sure the advise we are given is driven by what’s best for the kids and not by how much “consulting fees” the experts got?
This is Damon (obviously he’s the one in the middle) right after the graduation with his two friends, Patrick (right) and Ashley (left). These three kids have been best of friends since kindergarten. I can’t believe how big they’ve gotten.
