We’ve already discussed potty training a little entity with outdoor plumbing. The butt and fart jokes, I am told, are not solely within the realm of boyhood. I have calmly dealt with the fact that my kid mooned someone in his camp because he thought it would be funny.
What seems to be pushing me […]

I love the idea of single by choice mothers, no matter what the pundits in the pulpit or that man in the White House might think of it. To have a child purely out of the love and wonder of having a child? To know that you love that kid, and that you want that […]

I’m arguing with my computer most days, it seems, and the technology on my phone has outstripped me. I wouldn’t know how to fix my car if I had one, and I’ve just about given up on understanding anything that requires any sort of electrical power source. I give up.
When I was a kid, my […]

Perhaps it’s the fact that spring is almost in the air. Perhaps it’s because my audience is pretty pressed for time and is hard pressed to make it over here with any regularity. Believe me, it’s hard for me to get over here, and I’m the one writing this blog!
But I really want to know […]

I’m unemployed again. I’m sure something new will turn up — I just don’t know when. I’m faced with a staggering bill for shipping my belongings back to the US from Dubai. Believe me, I wanted to just leave it all there, but much of what was there was irreplaceable. It’s still less expensive to […]

This season, everybody needs somebody. My inbox is filled with articles from local newspapers from around the country–and the world–telling a family’s tale of hardship and need.

I’m stealing someone’s low bandwidth, since I won’t get hooked up meself until the first of December; believe me, it’s been a long six weeks without decent Net access!
One of the not so charming things about where we live is who else lives in the house with us: there are Rodents of Undetermined Size prowling […]
