A conversation today between Jake, his best buddy from down the street (both age 4), and me (not 4): Jake: “It’s true, in real life, for real!!!” His little friend, A, to me: “Why does he always say that?” Me to her (A): “I don’t know. You should ask him.” A to Jake: “Why do [...]

This is going on my wish list. I love pens. Have I mentioned that? I do. And office products in general, but mostly pens.

Those were my answers to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” from about the age of 12 until I graduated from college and knew that I wasn’t about to go back for a Master’s (much to my mother’s continued dismay). From then on the mom thing was it, and [...]

Here’s the second photo of the season. Now, while the objects in the photo might be easy to identify, the point of this edition is to tell me what is happening in the photo. Yeah, yeah, I’m tweaking the rules a bit. If the reality shows can do it from season to season, so can [...]

A friend posted this video earlier today. He doesn’t read music. He has no training, but plays the guitar. He just took a stab at the piano last summer, if I’m remembering it correctly. A big house? More money? A nicer car? A cooler place to live? Those don’t tempt me. I don’t envy those [...]

Yep, that’s right. A new season has begun. Who needs stinkin’ writers to keep us amused? Although the return of American Gladiators is quite entertaining.

Infinity is both the largest number ever, and not a number at all. Discuss. (This, btw, has been a topic of conversation b/w my 6 and 4 year olds for weeks, thanks to a neighbor friend who introduced the theory to them. “How much is infinity plus infinity?” “What about infinity plus two?” “What about [...]
