Okay, this meets the official definition of horseplay, I’m sure of it. These are lovely pictures, eh? When their FATHER got on the bike, that’s when I left. I had NO desire to witness or record his tragic demise. He’s bigger than these guys, and I saw the tire slip a bit when one of […]
Tonight we were in the office, and Jay said, “I wonder if I put my lunch in the fridge here or upstairs? I can’t remember.” We looked, and there it was, safe on the shelf. But then we started laughing about other lunch stories… and I do love dumb stories… One night last winter, Jay

Tonight we were down in the office working, and Lydia appeared with her empty retainer case. She had this retainer back when she was really small, like six. A molar had to come out early, so the retainer was mostly to hold that space open, blah, blah, blah. She wore it for years and it

Okay, this is a patient man. He doesn’t get excited about much, never has. It’s one of the reasons he and Heidi are married. They get each other. It works. He said to let the puppy sleep in the bed with them because he “doesn’t like crying.” He lets the guinea pigs crawl on his
Okay, Sunday night was a little chaotic. Dan and Alicia and b.g. came for supper and it was pretty fun. The little guy eats pulverized pears now, and he loved them. Shortly he grabbed the bowl and took control of the whole sticky situation, but Alicia gracefully extracted the dish and kept going. He smiled

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
