Fiddle and Burn:
The Adventures of Coyote Man and Other Stories
Part comedy. Part soap opera.
A fiction blog. A serialized sit-com.
A daily comic strip in prose.
When Rantz takes a job as Circulation Director of Fiddle and Burn: Guide to Fandom Magazine, he hauls his family to a new home. None of them realizes that this will lead to one bizarre adventure after another.
There's an epic struggle to throw away an old garbage can.
There are embarrassing incidents involving a very rude laptop computer.
There are profound metaphysical breakthroughs revealed in the dentist's chair.
And, running through all the story lines, there's the strange figure of Coyote Man - Is he a noble superhero who defends the suburbs from vicious villains? Or is he a sad old man who lives in a dream world inside his head? It's a tale both comic and tragic, inspiring and pathetic. Some might even say... quixotic.
Whether it's comic book and science fiction fandom, the publishing industry or modern American family life, Fiddle and Burn squeezes out the humor and delivers it in easily digestible bite sized doses.

| Blueberry Pie Recipe made with Fresh, Unbaked Blueberries... Yum! |
|
My sister, Gwen, makes this wonderful blueberry pie every summer. This blueberry pie recipe leaves most of the blueberries uncooked. What’s so great about that is that you get the plumpness of fresh blueberries in your pie. (It doesn’t have the gooey feel of a baked blueberry pie - that might be more appropriate [...] |

| Creating a Sensory Garden |
|
We visited a very kid friendly nature preserve today with a lovely garden. The gardeners there were in the middle of planting a sensory garden, as a nice addition to their main garden. A sensory garden should have plants that stimulate each of the five senses: smell, taste, sight, sound and touch. Sensory gardens are [...] |

| Slave Narratives |
|
Last month I posted several songs that originate from the period immediately after the slaves were freed in the US. They came from a study of Slave Narratives that the US government did in the 1930’s, some of which are posted on Project Gutenberg. Recently Linda Austin wrote about what she read of the Slave [...] |

Or it may be: Kan du huske gammel Norge? Ove! Ya, Ya, huske kan! Does anyone know the rest of this little rhyme? Some of the old Norwegians [...] |
