There were many good things that happened over the weekend. You’ll remember that we split up, right? M and I headed to the Boston area, while Cute W and J stayed home. Cute W and J went to see Solo and they liked it, I think more than they had expected to like it. They … [Read more…]
It is cold and rainy today, but not as rainy as it was for Niska-Day. Jeepers. What a bust. I had invited my sister and our 7-year-old nephew for one of our very favorite holidays, so I was particularly disappointed with how soaking wet the day was. We all headed out into the rain to … [Read more…]
I mentioned DIY hair in the last post, so here’s more on that. The good news is, M’s hair is lovely without any styling: The bad news is that in the grand tradition of All Girls Everywhere Always, she wanted exactly the opposite of what she had, meaning curly hair instead of straight hair.

On Wednesday, M ran a 3000 meter race–longer than she’d like, for sure–at her school track meet. We watched. She … [Read more…]
I really like Proctors. I like theater, I like the role Proctors plays in Schenectady, and I like how they are so efficient that they help promote all sorts of other arts organizations that can’t necessarily get their acts together. This year, for the first year, we became season subscribers. I like the theory of … [Read more…]
No sooner had I arrived at my volunteering gig at the boys’ track meet this afternoon than my cell phone started ringing. It took me a while to notice: I am not good with phones. When I finally picked up, poor J was frantic. She had tried to bake something when the oven started making … [Read more…]
