Happy Solstice!

Summer Solstice, historically, is a time to celebrate the joy and warmth of summer, and an opportunity to release fears and sadness. It honors the feeling you get when you open your door and walk out into a perfect, sun-shining day. Make the most of today, folks, even if you’re not one of the barefoot hippies I like to call my friends. Summer is here! My weekend was bittersweet. I put Emo Boy on a plane to Arkansas for four weeks, got naked at the airport (those new fangled security scanners)...

The Blog is Mightier than the Sword

That’s an awesome title. I had an awesome weekend. I’m concerned at how much I actually use the word, “awesome,” lately. Awesome. This weekend’s awesomeness included a trip to Baltimore. Baltimore isn’t really that awesome, its actually pretty bleak and can be somewhat foreboding, but if it was good enough for John Hughes, its good enough for me. I finally got to another baseball game, an event I uncharacteristically love even as I laugh at the weirdness that sports...

Fall is for Football!

Sometimes, there are words that feel weird as I type them out. Among those words, is the phrase, “I played football,” because, really, I’m just not sporty. But, I was absolutely willing to test out a product from ZeloSport when they asked, because I’m all about new experiences. ZeloSport has taken “finger football” to new levels with their crazy-accurate tabletop (or floor) game of football. They even have baseball, soccer and golf, but I didn’t try those...

I Want, I Want… Dammit, I Want!

I should start this off by talking about how I generally don’t care about gifts, especially those that are for me. That’s what is expected, and really, generally, I don’t care about gifts… but, I’m in lust with consumerism right now. I don’t know why, I’m not that kind of person, like ever, but I keep hearing, “I want” in my head, and its not the echo of Talker’s need to own every lego or video game on the planet, or Enigma’s desire...

Hello, November!

You taste a lot like October, only not quite as much pesto. Fascinating. I am beat. Tie dye selling was a bust (more on that to come) but trick or treating was fun, so it all worked out. Enigma went as “Robot Cowboy,” but became “Robot Cowboy Burrito” when a neighbor told us that if we wore foil hats to Chipotle on Halloween, we’d get a free burrito. Tempting… very tempting. Talker was “Death by Video Games” complete with blood running from his eyes....
