The Fighting Moose

Sometimes I wonder why things go away. Like in today's case. Today's story is titled “Old Shag” and comes to us from Bob Farnham. More specifically, the story comes to us from the magazine “Worlds of If” which was published between 1952 and 1974. That's a pretty long run for a magazine to just stop but I guess there was a reason. Anyway, there is a link to a Wikipedia entry in the show notes about this magazine if you are interested.

Today, we hang out in the heavens. Not really, but we talk about Jupiter. Not the planet, but the Roman god. This story comes as a result of me trying to explain to my son where lightning comes from but not really having a good answer since I'm not really sure myself. Anyway, today, we read the story “The Gods and The Giants” which comes to us from the book “Gods and Heroes” written by R.E. Francillon.

The Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. Last night, we got the telescope out in the front yard and viewed all three of these planets last night. I love being able to get out my telescope and looking at these. I sometimes wish I had a better one so I could get better and closer views of these planets but until I do, I'm happy with what I have. So today, we read a story about one of Saturn's moon with the story “The Big Show on Titan” from the book “Young Readers Science Fiction Stories” written by Richard Elam.

We got a puppy! So on Friday, my family and I added a puppy to the family. She's a Giant Schnoodle named Gracie. We went to the pet store to get some supplies for her on Saturday and while there, she was barking at all the other dogs. So this brought an employee over who talked to us about puppy classes and obedience training. Needless to say, we were very interested because we don't want a naughty puppy. Which is what brought us to today's poem, that's right, poem. I found a poem titled “The Naught Puppies” which was written by an anonymous author.

Let's go exploring! Do you like exploring? I know I do. I like to check out old buildings and think of what it was like when that buidling was occupied. There is even an old automobile factory in Detroit I want to check out but I figure I'll probably stay away from that place. I have heard that it is very dangerous in there due to the disrepair and such. In today's story, we see what happens when two Boy Scouts check out an abandoned cabin with the story “The Haunted Cabin.” This story comes to us from the book “The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp” and is written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Do you like getting new books? I know I do. I have books on my shelf that I still need to read and there are probably a few on there that I may never read. It has always fascinated me when I see some of the older movies and they have a library in their house. I told my wife that it would be awesome if we could have a room that is full of books from ceiling to floor and bookshelves full of books. In reality, I don't think that is a smart move or feasible in our house. Until there, I will continue to visit bookstores and libraries. Anyway, our recent trip to the bookstore inspired today's story, which is, “Old Man Coyote and Howler the Wolf.” This story comes to us from the book “The Burgess Animal Book for Children” which comes to us from Thornton W. Burgess.

I like to shoot my bow and I like to try and help people. So maybe, I am Robin Hood? Okay, maybe not but I do like Robin Hood stories. And in today's story, we see how Robin Hood helps a man when he is down on his luck. Today, we read the story titled “Robin Hood and the Knight” from the book titled “The Junior Classics, Volume 4, Heroes and Heroines of Chivalry.”

Egg rolls are delicious! In fact, I actually made some the other night to go along with dinner. However, in today's story, we don't talk about that delicious side dish, but we read about Peter Rabbit and his game of egg rolling. The story we are going to read is titled “Peter Rabbit's Egg Rolling and it comes to us from the book “Mother West Wind's Animal Friends” and is written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Gentlemen...start your sails? To tell you the truth, I have no idea how they start a sailboat race but tomorrow will be the start of the annual Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race, which is always a fun time around town. It's always a great time around town with all the festivities so why not celebrate here with a story about a sailboat. Today, we read the story “The Argo” which comes to us from the book “The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles” written by Padraic Colum.

A few days ago, I found an article from “Times of India” with the title “Works by 'Wizard of Oz' author Frank Baum that you should read.” I read this article because I'm always looking for things to read so I figured I would give it a try. Anyway, one of the books on the list was “American Fairy Tales.” I found a copy of this book on the Gutenberg website and I chose today's story randomly from the table of contents. A link to the article is included in the show notes below.
