The Hypotenuse?
I use a G5 (Mac). I’m amazed by its stability but my background was web programming so I maintain (for sport) other boxes on my little home network; I have linux and windows machines as well. John gave Isa an IBook for school this year (his old one). It’s a decent thing, but it clearly […]
Dead Bees, More Flies… Why?
Okay, so by now I’m sure you’re all aware -through various stories in the media- that honey bees are apparently dying mysteriously all across the country. Well, not knowing a damn thing about bees, I sort of assumed it was mainly the kinds of bees that are employed by beekeepers. You know, that breed of […]

The Nightstand Drawer
Last week we loaded up the mini van with 2 kids, the dog, mom, dad and plenty of dvds and off we went to Northern Michigan for our vacation. We have never been there before. A lot of midwesterners recommended Michigan so we rented a house in a little town nestled between two lakes. In […]

Home Energy Audit
Okay, first off, I’m not even sure I have the right to be posting here since I’ve been decidedly absent for what seems like years, but is probably only a few months. I’m sorry, okay? I’m just so extremely busy with so many very, very important things. Waking up, eating, looking at the baby, eating […]
Kids in Vegas
There’s grills in this skill crane. This skill crane is extra large, big enough for a basketball (or a toddler). Isa rode this thing five times.
Lee Israel Is Real
How heartening it has been over the past week and a half to see the phoenix-like return of my friend Lee Israel. She has soundly disproved F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tired axiom “There are no second acts in American lives.” By my count, we’re up to at least Lee’s fourth act. And who knows, she may […]
