So, yesterday, I came face to face with the ugly truth…that I was intimidated by trying to feed vegetables to the Cherubim. This was very embarrassing..>I am not usually prey to intimidation…but I had to admit that was why I did not confront him regularly and force the issue. As I prepared the plate of veggies, I thought to myself…
Yesterday, I undertook making the yearly pies while on the phone to my mortgage company. This turned out to be a bit of a mistake, as I wasn’t thinking quite as clearly as if I hadn’t been doing something else at the same time. (But I had been on hold an hour to talk with them. I wasn’t about…
Last night, we went on a candlelight tour of Sully Plantation, a local house dating back to the 1790s. We arrived to find Father Christmas dressed in green robes and his elves, who gave candy canes to the children, passed a tent and campfire surrounded by civil war soldiers (whom I insisted on calling ghosts,)…
I notice that when things change, you see a news article about it, and then a bunch more that don’t seem to know that it has happened. Like Global Cooling.

We pretend I have the box-weapon and you have the horse-weapon." So, what about you guys? What have your kids been saying lately (or your…
As often happens with such things, a friend sent me his choice for the good Doctor, and now I can’t picture anyone else in the role. So, whomever they pick, I’ll probably be vaguely disappointed.

A friend sent the following joke: "HinJew leaders today conceded the merger of Hinduism and Judaism hasnot worked out as planned. Instead of forming a super-religion tofight off the common Islamic enemy, they have instead created a raceof 900 million people who, no matter how many times they arereincarnated, can never please their mothers."

This amused me so much, I had to post it…after a weekend of watching Guys and Dolls with the boys and talking about horse races and the evils of gambling, I came across this: Who will replace David Tennant as Doctor Who?

Every now and then one stumbles upon something that is just bizarre — like discovering that the girl who played Door in Neverwhere also was the blacksmith girl in A Knight’s Tale. Can’t put into words why that is so weird…you’ll just have to take my word for it. I love IMDB,though, for that very…
