Episode 012: Buffy vs Bella Smackdown! (Voicemail 206-888-2108)

Happy New Year!
Election Victory Cheer!
Eliana was sick after Winter Break, but we had a good time in California during the vacation. Highlights: visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Glenn and going to the Californai Academy of Sciences.
A dicussion of the relative merits of Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Eliana makes some very cool observations. Props to Joss Whedon!
Talking about eighth-grade social stuff. Eliana will be the Assistant Director for the the Spring musical, and she's diggin' the power.
Eliana gets a pair of socks from Mom, and she plugs LittleMissMatched, a favorite place for getting them.
Talking a little about where to go to high school.
(Recorded on January 11, despite what we said on the recording. It's always challenging keeping track of what day it is.)

Episode 011: Avast, mateys!

We're back, after quite a long absence. Much too much to talk about, but we pare it down to the highlights.
We quickly mention our summer vacation to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument.
Eliana's Bat Mitzvah weekend was awesome!
We spend the remainder of our time talking about Eliana's fantastic adventure on the Guided Adventures tall ship, the SSV Tole Mour.
Eliana finishes up by singing a few of the sea chantys she learned.

Episode 010: It's All Relatives

We welcome Grammy and Grampy to the podcast today. They're here for Spring Break, and we cover all the activities of the week. Then Eliana grills the grandparents about their junior high experiences, and about how they met. They also tell a couple of stories about Rick. Check out the links at the blog.

Episode 009: Happy 2008!

Episode 008: It's Sodalicious!

In a "very special" episode of BoulderFaD, we are joined by Mom and Daniel for a taste-testing of the Chanukah soda pack from Jones Soda. They also have novelty soda packs for Christmas and Thanksgiving, but we didn't try those (our bravery only extends so far).

Our conclusion: A nice novelty gift idea, but perhaps not the sort of thing one would drink on a regular basis.

Episode 007: Happy Thanksgiving!

Coming off last night's sleepover with her friends (ohmigodthatcaffeineisAWESOME!), Eliana shares a few thoughts about movies. We also talk about cooking at the homeless shelter, how to throw a boffo Harry Potter party for youngsters, Halloween, middle school drama (not the performing kind), middle school musicals (the performing kind), and a few other goodies. Also a book review. Happy Turkey Day, everyone!
