Winter wonderland…in spring
Good thing we’ve got plenty of bread and milk (and beer and wine).

Why I just can’t get on the John Krasinski bandwagon
I may not watch much prime time TV, but “The Office” is one show that I don’t miss.
Granted, I was a little late to the party, just as I was with “Seinfeld” and “Friends”. Come to think of it, I haven’t been a loyal viewer of any series all the way from the premiere, not [...]

If you see me walking by, look away…baby, look away
Before moving here, Kyle and I were only passing acquaintances with our neighbors. In Dover, he worked with the officer who lived next door, and in New York, we occasionally chatted with one woman and another couple on our floor.
In New Jersey, we got to know many more of the people in our building – [...]

Movin’ on up
Last spring, we removed CJ from her old pre-school after it became very clear that the environment there was no longer a good fit – and that’s being kind about it. I still ache a bit when I think of how sad she seemed there; I should have known something was wrong and done something [...]

The cult of the orange and blue
I’ve got a confession that may very well get me run out of town: I like to root against the Broncos.
I don’t hate the Broncos. Nor am I a fan of any other individual team. It just seems like people around here get a wee bit too invested in what’s supposed to be a game.
Not [...]

I told you once, I’ll tell you again
Oh, Gov. Rendell. No, you di-in’t.
You did? Well, I think I understand your intent.
Still. Not cool. Don’t box us in.

Want an excellent example of why more regulation is not necessarily better? Read this.
Not only will the CPSIA cost the big box toymakers a shit-ton of money in order to achieve compliance (which, naturally, they will [...]

Music therapy
I’m sitting at the piano, pounding away happily at “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”. Tacy is sitting beside me on the bench.
T: Why are you playing a God song?
Me: Because I like it. Some of my favorite Christmas carols are the religious ones. Beautiful music, fun to play.
——————————
We have a new piano.
I [...]

Making a mountain out of a middle finger
If the girls had just met me in the cul-de-sac like we’d planned, this would have never happened.
But as it was, they loitered outside the school for several minutes before they started walking. And because I still had to pick up CJ and get her to soccer practice, and I had a howling baby [...]

An unexpected ally in Gloria Steinem
I may not call myself a feminist, but I recognize the primal role that Gloria Steinem played in the advancement of opportunities for women. I admire her initiative and leadership in the face of great opposition. So in spite of the differences in our political philosophies, I was thrilled when my friend fruitlady [...]

I am triathlete, hear me pant
I did it!
At this point, I hadn’t done all of it yet – only a third of it.
On Friday, I swam the triathlon distance (500 yards) while my father-in-law timed me. Then he and I headed out to the trail to jog the triathlon route.
On Saturday, I picked up my rental bike – that [...]
