The past has a way of rising up sometimes, like an old stone foundation somewhere in the woods that is revealed one spring after a few days of hard rain. One week, on a walk through the woods, it isn’t there. The next, it is.
Though, at times we expect the past [...]
Bugs, bats and other animals

If anyone noticed that I haven’t posted in a couple of days, it’s because we were hit with a ferocious stomach bug on Thursday night that kept the Girl and I up all night Thursday, and then hit the Boy yesterday. I was too weak even to blog. Startling, I know.

It invites everything, from baskets to batteries, bills to school papers, hair accessories, crayons, markers, party invitations, pieces of my [...]
Dresses and boots

I’ve just been to see 27 Dresses with my friend L. Nice movie, entertaining. And a good opportunity to look at James Marsden and Ed Burns. It was just about how I thought it would be, but I didn’t really mind that. The best friend, whom I will have to Google, since I know I’ve [...]

I’m still not at ease joining the blogging masses. Although, in general, I prefer to remove myself from masses of any sort. I’m inspired by a couple of friends who do it well, and I’m content to do it about half as well as they do. Over time, I will have to make clearer (to [...]
