Sometimes, when it is hard to make a basket, it may just mean that the net is frozen.

We have been watching a lot of the Food Channel lately. Football season is essentially over, and it provides a pleasant respite from the constant science/how-it’s-made/how-to-blow-it-up-in-super-slow-mo programming at our house. Plus, as a perk, there are no erectile dysfunction ads on the Food Channel. One show, I can’t recall the exact name, something like “The [...]

The Little One came bouncing into my bedroom today to wake me with this news flash: “MOM, do you know what’s really weird? I am like half you and half Dad!” Breaking news, indeed! I wonder how long he lounged in bed, thinking this through, which parts of him are like me and which like [...]

I now check facebook a lot. After days spent obsessively snooping at what everyone else was doing, I felt some tentative confidence to make several brief posts. My first post, to a long ago acquaintance, I hit the wrong button and it took me three days to figure out she never saw my carefully crafted [...]

Kids are awfully jaded these days. I sense this goes beyond the proverbial “kids these days” motto of each generation — to some new warp speed warping of their little minds. Maybe jaded is not quite the right word — just worldly beyond their years? Case in point: although we strictly limited the amount of [...]
Bumper cars

I recently heard a comedian riff on bumper stickers as a handy shortcut to life — when he saw one, he automatically knew not to be friends with the driver. My husband views my new-found bumper sticker interest as a phase, a possible symptom of mid-life crisis that will hopefully pass in less time than [...]
FB Newbie

OK, so, not one to rush into the 21st century, I am finally poking around to see what Facebook is all about. And, um, blogs. I was inspired by the speakers at a recent Writer’s Digest conference in Cincinnati. Jane Friedman (great speaker, by the way) stressed the importance of creating an online presence, a [...]
