RSVP
(Mykonos will have to wait a week. I have nearly exceeded my monthly allowance on my free Flickr account.)
Sunday afternoon, we’re having a birthday party for Tacy. It will be at our house, with a few activities and a bounce castle (courtesy of her overexuberant daddy). Parents/families are invited. We’ll make hamburgers and hot dogs, […]

Thursday Third Degree, Issue 6
Interesting. I never expected to alienate (or worse, bore) my readership with a post about skaters. Perhaps I can draw you back in with another opportunity to talk about yourself.
But first, I get to talk about MYself.
1. I took third place in a newspaper-sponsored spelling bee in second grade (after lobbying the principal for the […]

Cow Skates and the G&S Partymobile
In honor of my friend Jamie, who will be visiting us this weekend along with her daughter Elise, I’d like to tell a story from our past.
I’ve mentioned my love for skaters and for Tony Hawk. It began freshman year of high school when I developed a crush on a sophomore skater. Although it became […]

Tickety Boo Tacy
It’s bedtime. Kyle and I are reading “Fancy Nancy” to Tacy, using faux British accents.
T (screws her eyes shut, balls up her fists and puts them to her ears): Stop TALKING like that. It’s ANNOYING.
———————-
Tacy is irritated that we are continuing to laugh at a tasteless joke I made. She thinks we are laughing at […]

Most Memorable Vacation, Post 2 of 8 - Athens
We departed for Athens the afternoon of May 6 and arrived the morning of May 7. The airline was Alitalia (ehhhh…so-so), and the one mini-bottle of wine I drank had me crouched near the rear galley where it was cool, leaning with my forehead against the emergency exit door. I have drank on overseas flights […]

Acting big
In elementary school, I had a classmate named Kim who did everything right. She was smart, but not so smart that she was perceived as being weird. She was athletic - a gymnast who did “penny drops” on the monkey bars. She had perfect hair, with perfectly positioned barrettes, perfect clothes, perfect handwriting, and everyone […]

Politically incorrect
It’s been a completely un-PC weekend here.
On Friday night we went out with another couple. We see more eye-to-eye than our voter registration cards would lead you to believe, but we can still enjoy a spirited discussion. Being that it was Good Friday and we are all four heathens, a lot of discussion centered around […]

Six weird things
Cheers to Elizabeth for calling me out.
Six weird things? I’m nothing BUT weird things. This ought to be easy.
1. At my elementary school, each year the entire fifth grade had to write and give speeches on great leaders. My speech was about Confucius. I took second place. When I respond to my own Thursday Third […]
