It’s been busy! I mentioned that M had her prom. She’s dating this boy, if that is what you call it these days, although they are both so crazy-busy that it basically means that they’ll hang out together for a couple of hours once a week, slotted in between school, sports practices, club meetings, games, … [Read more…]
What follows are some images that I’ve loosely gathered into the topic of health & beauty aids. A few are ghastly, so proceed with caution. Okay, first? Remember my road rage calf strain? It didn’t occur to me to take a good look at it, and then, several days later, I did. Whoa, it was … [Read more…]

Here are three photographs I took today, in reverse chronological order. First, the yogurt that I dropped with enough force that it broke the brand-new container, spilling yogurt as it skittered across the floor. Really, that one’s hardly even picture-worthy, except that it occurred shortly after this lunchtime shot: Why yes, that was my lunch … [Read more…]
