QotD: Thanks But No Thanks

2007-03-12T00:04:08Z

How do you handle phone calls from telemarketers? That's a silly question. I don't handle them at all. I have caller ID, so I don't answer if I know it's not a person calling, and at work, I tell them it's a business, or that we're not inter...

world traveler

I just got back to work after applying for my passport. We're going on a cruise to the Caribbean the first week of April. So far, that hasn't managed to get me excited. It's just too far away, not concrete yet. But the passport, now the passp...

Eight years ago today, my sister gave me the most beautiful gift anyone has ever received. She held my hand, and gave birth to Ian James, the first baby I watched being born, the first minute old person I've held, and the first child that taught...

the legend of baby elkhart

2007-01-21T05:43:27Z

Sometimes, I'm such a child. I know this, I accept this, and I even embrace it. I think one of the saddest things that happens to most people, as they get older, is that they forget how to play. I refuse to be one of them. Last summer, we we...

growing up

2007-01-16T21:50:35Z

Sid is one now, Stella is five, and Ian will be eight in less than two weeks. How does that happen? I still remember how warm the wood of the porch was under my bare legs, as I sat there while Tessa told me she was pregnant with Ian. So how do...
