but will these Olympics EVER END?? Ugh. I can’t take it. I just want to watch Saturday Night Live in peace. But no. We’re babysitting the grand-dog tonight. She’s growing fast and getting sassy. She wants to engage Sidney in some kind of horseplay, but Sidney says that’s absolutely out of the question. Here’s a […]

Julia and I got in an argument in the car. So ridiculous. It disintegrated to the point… well I told her she was wrong and stop saying things that aren’t true. She said, “I can still THINK it.” I forbid her: “No, you can’t. You stop thinking things that are wrong.” Get this: We were

The handle on the back door is broken again. We have to replace it about once a year because that door takes a terrible beating. It’s inherent in life with a newfoundland in the house. She barges her big self into the door went she’s trying to get out, and even worse is when she’s

Late this afternoon Jay and I were lying on our bed. He was trying to get up the ambition to go put in a new water heater for someone, and I was trying to coax him to take a nap first. (I know, I know, nothing gets done by sleeping.) Anyway, while sprawled out there,

our anniversary… a few pictures for fun… …yeah, it’s been a looong time…it’s also true that the coolest thing about our marriage is the family that’s resulted from it. we’re lucky people, and smart enough to know it. a picture from back in the day…1982? and now we’re grandparents… and the whiskers are a little
This morning I put on my black velvet dress (the one I always wear when I don’t know what to wear) and high heels and went to breakfast at the Hilton. It was the awards breakfast for our office, and it was lovely…eggs and fruit, french toast, and pulpy orange juice… people I like, laughter,
This guy turned a year old yesterday, so we spent the afternoon at his birthday party. Here he was a year ago. something about that fragile little hand under his chin just gets me by the heart (there’s his very brave mother in the background. she’d rather not appear without makeup. i understand.) Here he
Heidi and Joe showed up last night with this fine lab puppy. She was adopted from a rescue place. Her name is Morgan and she’s as sweet as she looks, velvety fur and long legs. They have two guinea pigs already, Rufus and Rory, so hopefully the puppy will like them too. The old puppy
