"Oh yeah, mine" Libby and I have enjoyed every minute of hanging out together. On Tuesday we went to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. Both my kids have been there on school field trips but I hadn't visited yet. With children's museums ...

Jenn tagged me! "Summarize your life in a six word memoir, with optional photo illustration." I actually gave this a lot of thought yesterday. This is the best summary I can make in six words: Trying to live with no regrets I tag....EVERYONE. Go...

This is my blog so I can say what I want, right?

Thought so. In which case, let me say that my son is adorable. He is also the only eleven year old boy I know who would use the words "authentic," "temporarily," and "numerous" in an e-mail. I received the following today: HI Mom. How are you do...

Show us your guitar. Submitted by Sean J. O'Rourke. Not my guitar, but my photo of my brother-in-law, and my favourite guitar picture. Also? We are silly.

Ah, freedom! Quasi-freedom anyway. Yesterday concluded "dead week," the supposed calm before the storm of finals, which is, in reality, far more grueling in its own way. Papers, projects, and presentations are usually due this week which meant th...

This is how I know I'm nuts

Jesse: You know, we do a lot of things on a whim. Todd: I think he's figured us out. (I was at my desk when Jesse came to me and said, "I think I'm going to have to stop for the day. I have two flesh wounds.")

Me and my Magic Pill*
