Okay, well, about that passing on of the award, it’s like this – what I wanted to do was go beyond the usual suspects who I always say are mavelous. I need to branch out my blogging a bit. This seemed like a good excuse to do so. But, shockingly, I actually got work – [...]

I was just surfing around to my favourite sites and I see that knitnut just game me a nice, shiny award. And I’m betting she didn’t even know it was my birthday yesterday.
Okay, according to what she said, it is now my job to pass it on to 7 more people. And I swear I [...]

When J was a kid, he attended a camp near here that he just loved. It was the seminal experience of his childhood. His kids, he was determined, would go to the same place. At first, I was completely against this, mostly because of the stories he told me of his camp adventures. One of [...]

J just came from putting Boo to bed and told me that as he was reading bedtime stories to her, she reached over to his naked chest and slapped him solidly. “This,” she told him, “is a great example of man-boobs.”
For the record, he actually has a very weak example of man-boobs, but it is [...]
