Sundays in My City – A Night at the Opera

August 15, 2010 through the looking glass

Ok. I lied. I went to the theatre with three boys under twelve with ants in their pants, what do you think? Just had to use it in my title because it is THE favorite album of mine, that’s all. We went to see a Broadway musical… in Chicago… I wish I could tell you [...]

Nonchalant Parenting. It’s legit.

June 30, 2010 no manual for parenting

Many of the things that we do or don’t do can be legitimized if only we could find a proper name for it, in conjunction with a cool, catchy definition. . . Once you settle on a name, remember to capitalize it to make it into a Thing. Like so. . . To further reinforce [...]

WTF Wednesday: A Minor Setback

June 23, 2010 no manual for parenting

. Can you guess what this is? A view of ancient Aztec tombs from the satellite? An aerial view of Scientologist Compounds? Newly discovered evidence of alien civilization in Cambodia? . This is a computer keyboard after I took the caps off. But why? You ask. Can you see a hint of pink in the picture? That’s [...]

Rainbow

June 16, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

. After I dropped off my 7 year-old at his Taekwondo class, I had less than an hour to drive, grocery shop, drive, unload groceries, stuff 99% of the groceries into the freezer portion of our refrigerator, and then drive back to pick him up. As I pulled up to the stop sign inside our [...]

Weekends are sacred

May 30, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

Weekends are sacred even though there are errands to run and housework chores to do. Weekends are sacred despite gymnastic practices, Taekwondo lessons, religious education and Chinese school. . . Weekends are sacred because we didn’t realize how much fun it is to fly a kite. Now we know. . . Weekends are sacred because [...]

Heartbreaking

May 12, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

. . . . . . . . Our trip to St. Pete Beach, and especially North Beach at Fort De Soto was filled with moments of wonders: . . . . White sandy beaches, calm and clear water, massive expanse of azure that makes one understand what it means to not be able to [...]

Let’s be creative! That’s so… BLEEP!

April 11, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Who here has an obsessive personality and voted “Most Likely to Grow Up Alex Forrest” in High School? ME! I just cannot let it go. Here’s what I wrote last week about the epidemic of the phrase “That’s so gay!”… Let’s start with the word “Gay”. Let’s start with banning the usage of the word [...]

Hope springs eternal

April 2, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar; Wait the great teacher Death, and God adore. What future bliss He gives not thee to know, But gives that hope to be thy blessing now. Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be, blest. The soul, uneasy and confin’d from home, [...]

My brief encounter with an Olympic Silver medal…

March 2, 2010 random

and greatness… I took the first flight out to Boston this morning. Right before we took off, the flight attendant announced that we had an Olympic Silver medalist in our midst: Molly Schaus, Goalie on the US Olympic Women’s Hockey team, was on the flight. We all clapped. The flight attendant walked down the aisle [...]
