Great video. I didn't realize, Blaine, you are a young 54!
ReplyDelete6 faces × 9 squares = 54 :)
DeleteBlaine,
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of each week you provide us with a wonderful blog space, and at the end of each year you provide us with an excellent video of your wonderful family. Thanks for sharing your 2018 memories within a great video package of images. You've got a true knack for capturing FUN via videography.
I especially enjoyed the Father's Day pirate portion (1:38 to 2:20), but you and your brood showed yourselves to be shining "stARRRGHs" throughout the entire year.
Thanks for your blog, Matey!

There's a hold-up on the blog
ReplyDeleteThat's our favoritest of sites.
It's past 9:00 AM in Jersey,
But we need hints NOW, this bites!
No, our frame of mind's not mild,
This has really got us riled!
Blaine, 54, where are you?
...Ah, now finally there's Blaine's graphic
And his enigmatic clue
Which is tougher than Will's puzzle!
Still, we're glad our wait is through
For a Sunday without Blaine
Is like bubbleless champagne...
Blaine, 54, we love you!

Thanks for the puzzles, the forum, and the entertainment. Best wishes to everyone out there in EnigmaLand.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Blaine.Very nice. I got a bundt pan for Xmas so could use some decorating tips. Awesome Rubix cake for birthday.
ReplyDeleteNice video! Thanks for such a nice blog over the years, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Blaine, for the window into the real Blainesville. And of course for the weekly party you throw here! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteNice video. Thanks for hosting the blog and happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Blaine, for hosting us with aplomb. Your delightful video was another reminder of how fast things change!
ReplyDeleteDo you and Felicia have stock in fondant? Have you ever made pommes fondant out of fondant icing?!
The Rubik's Cube and its 9 x 6 meaning are especially timely; I see it was served on a table :-).
Here's to a splendid 2020!
Thanks, Blaine for another year of giving us a place to enjoy ourselves. Your blog is a bright spot in our world. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBlaine, you and your family sure know how to enjoy life! Thanks for sharing that gift with us each week.
ReplyDeleteBlaine with all the baking going on and delicious appetizers-you could do something along the dinner scence in "One night" where they blow it all on one amazing dinner evening. That's all I got.
ReplyDeleteThis week's challenge: This week's challenge comes from listener Mark Scott of Seattle. Everyone knows what a spoonerism is, right? That's where you switch the initial consonant sounds of one phrase to get another — like "light rain" for "right lane." Here's the puzzle: Name a well-known world leader, first and last names. Spoonerize this, and you'll get a phrase that means "to have confidence in one of the martial arts." Who's the leader, and what's the phrase?
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Skydiveboy!
DeleteFun puzzle, skydiveboy!
DeleteJust got a chance to watch the annual holiday video. Great work, Blaine! Thanks for another year of managing our playground. Happy 2020!
