Well, my knee-jerk reaction is delight, as in, "What a splendid baby name!" Further reflection reminds me that the baby still needs a saint name in there somewhere. (Butter Augustine Field? Butter Anastasia Field?)
Still groovy.

Then I Saw *This*
Let me see some stamps that are interesting, amusing, or pretty, I asked the nice postal clerk. Among the 3 (yawn) choices she gave me, was this monument to governmental bloat: Posters of the WPA.
Now, there is probably some historic significance to the program, yada yada, but nothing I'd call amusing or cute.
Then I saw THIS:

Then I saw THIS:
And, voila! The choice was made for me. Even the USPS is a fan of Field Day. This proves it. It has its own stamp.
Keep sending letters, groovy friends. They become increasingly valuable with each generation.

Science Lab (In a Box)
http://www.groovylabinabox.com/whats-in-the-box/
If we groovy people were still homeschooling our groovy children, we would totally look into these lab in a box surprises. Kids like to learn stuff. They like to see "What happens when I do this?" (Or, if you're Dee Dee, "What does this button do?")
Groovy idea whose time is now. Well played, Popular Mechanics!

Peanut Butter
We groovy people have a new favorite peanut butter. It has exactly two ingredients: organic peanuts and sea salt. What's not to love? And the name brand? Field Day! (I know right? Groovy bonus! Don't you love it???)

Bob Dylan, Redux
Apparently, the Nobel Committee thinks Bob Dylan is pretty groovy, as well.
Interesting choice, groovy friends.

Ooh La La!
We groovy people are told that the French make some pretty decent wine. This one is first on our list to try.

Enduring Love
We groovy people know that looks are fleeting, appearances can be deceiving, and feelings change. If you love someone because of how she looks, you won't love her for long. We groovy people know that love is a decision that you make, every day, day after day.
We groovy people choose to love anyway.

G-rated
Vintage party supplies - what a groovy idea in a world that is starving for a G-rated party!
...and a G-rated everything else.

Churros
Churros - sugar, grease, deliciousness, sold by street vendors at all the happenin' places.

Fresh Fruit
You know it's fresh because the banana is rather small. Dole and Chiquita bio-engineer bananas to be big and to withstand Panama Disease for export to US consumers (Franken-foods much?) but We Groovy People know that fresh is best. This is fruit grown locally, served locally, eaten fresh, the way God intended.

Twilight Zone Marathon
We groovy people have made a valiant attempt to bring many groovy things to your attention in 2015. Our final entry, as we finish the year, is the Twilight Zone Marathon.
We groovy people watch it every year, yet never tire of it. Happy new year, groovy friends!

House Hunters International
This show is so predictable, we groovy people have come up with a Bingo card of the phrases we know we'll hear.
Still love the show.

New Words
We groovy people used to play Scrabble with small (yet equally groovy) people, where, at the end of the game, when all we had left were goofy tiles that spelled nothing at all, we would make up our own new words.
It was great fun, and a splendid creative exercise.
Reading "The Buckets" (I wonder if it's pronounced "bouquet?") in the comics this morning, we groovy people have to wonder if, some day, there will be a blog called We Coolio People, or We Rad People, or We Beast People, or We Jim Dandy People, or We All That And A Bag Of Chips People...

Discernment
There are some people with whom we groovy people want to hang out. And some we don't. It's ok. Clowns are creepy, too.

Linda Clarke
How often do you say something off the cuff, and it makes the internet explode? Ooops, did she really *mean* single-handedly? Probably not, but it's a great ambition. We groovy people like those who dream big!

Morning Glory
We groovy people have heard this flower called "Kudzu Cousin," but if we get the right variety, they can be glorious.

Left Shark
Sometimes, you just gotta dance to your own music.

Labor of Love
Good way to see if your groovy marriage is for life: work on a project together.

Pride of Cincinnati
While we're on the subject of Peace (Here, here, and here) Pride of Cincinnati's "Summer of Love" WGI show is THE grooviest winterguard performance we groovy people have ever seen. Sorry, Onyx & Santa Clara. Pride wins, all the way.

Newspapers
There are still a few good newspapers out there.
The Anniston Star comes to mind.
The Wall Street Journal.
We groovy people will let you know if we find any more worth mentioning.

Hooked On Onyx
This is Honey Onyx, a cool stone, as you can appreciate its beauty in natural light, or back light it on a bar top, for a very cool effect.
Groovy stone. Groovy name. Onyx. We like it.
