A Return to Teen Town

I’ve never been one who’s pined for the next stage in life. Childhood, teen-time, the college years– all reveled in. All savored like a fine <insert favorite noun here>. I never wanted be a grown-up.
I knew.
I knew grown-uppery was awash in all kinds of terrible stuff like math and bills and work and… math. There …

A Sister and Her Little Dude

Would I be a wuss to think babies are awesome? Because I do. Babies and puma wrestling. But this post is more about the former. Sorry, WPW fans.
MC has been playing with the new camera and had Liz over to do some photographic experimentation with her L’il guy, Jace. I was asked to do some …

The Audacity of (Kauain) Hope

Yesterday I spent some time griping (well, not so much griping as expounding) on why decades of all this partisan tomfoolery has to come to an end. See, even after President Obama delivered a surprisingly centrist and unsurprisingly inspiring speech (depending on who you ask, I guess– don’t ask this guy), I’ve heard responses reducing …

Who Is We Gets Updated

Lately, I’ve been going crazy with post processing (see previous camera post) in the digital miracle that is Photoshop. And, since chances of anyone checking the “Who We Is” page are scant to scanterer, I’m going to post the “grunge” pic I spent way too much time on right here.

Thanks to a recent post by blogroll member and semi-absent neighbor Jenny W. Nelson, I finally took time to peruse a blog called the Nie Nie Dialogues. The blog in and of itself is a widely covered and highly read bit of inspiration for a very large online subculture of blogging …

Baby. Bootie.

Admittedly, I’ve been pretty terrible at posting about what WE’RE up to lately. There’s a been quite a few things done gone down around here that should have been ruminated on in the light of day and made available for the select few who read this blog and the <gulp> millions of prying eyes who …

Post About Nothing Yields Mild Something

I’ve been wracking my brain and searching my jaded, coal-like heart for any bit of inconsequential news or event circulating in my life or the life of others to pine on today– and I’m coming up with bagels across the board. Noone’s dropping ski-slope trou, our new camera is resting quietly in its bag and …

So apparently there’s been a recent holiday or something…?

Posting, like my goal of losing the 20 pounds my kiester’s accumulated since July, has been slow and… well, slow. Lucky for you, there’s nothing like the misfortune of others to get things revved up again.
What misfortune…? The misfortune of optioning skis for your winter sport of choice (as convincingly illustrated by this story). Now …
