The difference between men and women, #46,657,932

Amelia and Sage are in London with their mom for June and part of July, so Rick and I pass info from them back and forth as we get it (him from phone calls, me from Facebook). This morning’s conversation degenerated quickly.
Rick: So I think Amelia had a date the other night. She told me [...]

Nude, yes. Hiking, no.

I haven’t really been paying attention to the news for the past week. Rick is a news junkie and generally has it on 24-7, but when he’s away and I’m left to my own devices, I’ve got sitcoms on in the background. Hey, I’ve been depressed and sitcoms are my mental comfort food. However, last [...]

No more staycations.

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts – we’re making do, even though that was hands-down the most craptastic vacation I’ve ever taken. A recount: Joe died, Jordana and I worked like hell on getting a grant done in time (and did), there was a flying trip to New Haven to see a [...]

Requiem for a Joe

Joe passed out of this world on Tuesday night at about 8:30, right as Keith Olbermann was reading the day’s World’s Worst Persons. He had been going downhill for a while, and by Sunday he wasn’t really able to use his back legs. We were bringing food and water to him and taking him to [...]

I have a rule.

That rule is, “If it’s free, take it.” This rule has led to some interesting situations, as you might imagine, but basically since there’s no such thing as a free lunch, when an actual free lunch comes around, I’m eating it.
That didn’t sound good. Oh well.
So earlier this week, I saw a free David Byrne [...]

Four times the population of my hometown

See this? That’s where I was last night. At a free concert by David Byrne in Prospect Park with 27,000 other people who either really like David Byrne or really like free. I’ve been going to Celebrate Brooklyn concerts for years, and I have never seen them close the gates because the venue was full.
Fortunately, [...]

Ouch

This happened to me yesterday, while I was knitting on the girls’ balcony for a couple of hours. The sun was stronger than I thought, even indirectly and it was the first time my fishbelly white legs had been exposed to the sun for any length of time. As you can tell (I think), the [...]

Joda

I’ve got a post-in-progress in my mind about my unholy love of the Wii, but it’s just not happening right now. Hopefully I’ll get to it in the next few days.
I’m going though a lot of ups and downs right now. I have a tendency towards depression – definitely genetic, as most of my family [...]

How are blogs and unwanted body hair alike?

Apparently the answer is “If you don’t keep up with them, eventually you’re going to have to spend a really long time trimming both.” In the past three days, I have given my blog the equivalent of a thorough tweezing/waxing/ladyscaping. You may have been here one of the eleventy-million times I changed the theme, or [...]
