Okay– So Chicken is learning how to drive.  It’s not pretty. “Chicken, you ready to drive to school today?” “No.” “Seriously– your instructor is going to be here Saturday.  You up for it?” “No.” “Fine.” “Fine.” “Dammit, get in the car.  I know you know how to back out.” “Fine.” “See, that’s not so… okay,… Read More

Mate’s grandmother fell ill this week (i.e., was prescribed the wrong medication for a uti which basically hastened her decline, the signal of which was an event in which she RAN around the house when she hadn’t actually WALKED for over a year and talked to invisible cats) and she has entered final stage hospice… Read More

Sometimes, listening to my family talk is like living in a movie with AWESOME satirical dialog–except you can’t rewind and listen to it all over again, no matter how badly you want to.  I was going to try to capture some of it here, but, well, forgive me.  It was a huge deluge of great… Read More

Because, the thing is, the photographer decided to go with the prototypes and not the finished product.  So, umm, what do you think?

Okay, so we saw Beauty and the Beast this weekend, and I was surprised. I mean, like a lot of parents, I’ve seen it ad infinitum on video, and you think, “I know the story, I’ll sleep through this.  Knitting.  Lots of knitting.”  But then, the opening chords hit the sound system, and I was… Read More
