Tomorrow George and I are “leaving on a jet plane” — flying to Seattle for a week. In keeping with the time-honored tradition of dressing up in costume for Halloween, on the evening of October 31st, George will enter the nerd-u-lizer chamber and transform into . . . THE WORMINATOR! Yes, it’s true. October 31 […]

I suppose this announcement is a bit anti-climactic now, but (drumroll) today is my birthday! Whoop-de-doodle-doo. My phone rang about an hour ago, and when I answered, my parents and daughter sang, “Happy Birthday.” From Paris, France. Hmm. They’re in Paris. I’m in Podunkville. What’s wrong with this picture? Oh, well. I have a cute
As I mentioned in my previous post, George, Jacob, and I had lunch with my parents Saturday. We told them we were coming to Dallas to shop, but we didn’t tell them what we planned to buy. After we sat down to eat, Mom asked me what we were shopping for. A note of explanation

Too bad we can’t skip to the last chapter and take a peek! Read More »
She crept along the damp alley wall until she reached the battered metal door. Trying to be as quiet as possible, she turned the knob and eased it open. The hinges creaked. She winced at the sound, but gently pried until she’d created a wide enough space to slip through. Once inside, she left the

Between Christmas and New Years we went to Colorado for a week. Skiing, snowboarding, major mountain majesty. That was some awesome awesomeness, let me tell you. But one of the funnest things we did was go to a movie. Peter Pan. Now that was a great movie! It was delightful, well-cast, and the special effects
