Will Trade Virus for Stress

27 May 2010

The Strange Virus has left. I slept in a little this morning, figuring I deserved it, then shuffled the kids off to piano lessons. There was much moaning about this from McKinley, who is 9 going on 17, thanks to the influence of his older brother Bert. He wants to play guitar, [...]

Flowers from my Tailpipe

5 May 2010

First, I am totally sickened by what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico right now.   I can’t even write about it.  It is very, very, very bad.
