All Hail the Great Messianic King Obama

We live on an island isolated in the middle of the ocean. We are sitting ducks in the pond of natural disasters. In the month of December our electricity has gone out no less than 15 times due to the storms that have occurred. For the most part it’s annoying. The girls don’t sleep well [...]

Books and All That Jazz

When Steven and I discuss what we want out of our children, we both think they should be whatever they want to be, but they have to love reading. We don’t understand the concept of people who don’t read. Borders for us is like a candy store. When I was a kid, most media was [...]

Seriously, How Did This Happen?

They say just wait 20 years and you’ll be back in style. Which I’ve always thought was true. But really how did neon yellow denim make it back on the racks? That one should have died when I was 5, along with really big shoulder pads.

Gummibärs, Not Just For Germans Anymore

Dude, Who Lives In San Francisco?

There’s this place called analytics that tells you all about the people who visit your website. We get between 15-30 people visiting us a day. The number 3 person who visits this site lives in San Francisco. Try as we may all the people we could think of who live in Cali, live in the [...]

I Won a Contest I Didn’t Enter

So many blogs do contests where all you have to do is leave a comment on a specific post and you could win a prize (this other place randomly picks the comment number). Sometimes those prizes are pretty killer. This mom at Her Bad Mother (www.badladies.blogspot.com) was giving away money to a charity of our [...]

I don’t own my own DNA

Yeah, that is right.  Märia and I went to a recent bone marrow donation drive to swab our cheeks and be put in the National Bone Marrow Database or whatever.  It was at a bowling alley and you couldn’t get in or out of the place because some genius had arranged for the drive to [...]
