Maya I took this photo in the shade, so of course it didn’t turn out grand. And I probably fudged the adjustments a bit too much in Photoshop. Still, I couldn’t resist posting her picture. She had this lovely way of looking right into the camera. No shyness at all […]
Lightning bug or firefly?
Joey and I found this lightning bug in the middle of a sunny afternoon Random musings… Why do dogs think that anything that’s on the floor must be edible? Like bits of wallpaper and dried patching cement. Or cat vomit. Do you ever look down at your computer keyboard and […]
Drumroll please…
Mom’s clematis I’m sure you’ve been holding your collective breath to discover what we’ve decided to name the little guy. Thelonious was in the running, but we’ve settled on Devin. It’s Celtic and means poet. So teamed with his middle name of Da Hyun, he’ll be poet plenty gentle. Not […]
A full day
Big heads: Ann Arbor Jeesh. I worked an entire eight-hour day today. That’s not something this gal is used to. Since being laid off three years ago (this month, by golly!), I’ve been pretty content with the freelance life. It keeps me busy, but I’ve always been able to work […]

Plastic babies
Scenic lookout at Reeds Lake: East Grand Rapids Last night was parenting class. Even though we don’t yet know who we’re going to be parenting. Realistically, neither did the pregnant women in our class. Who knows what the kid will be like when he/she emerges into the world? Hopefully nothing […]
Feeling swivet
Reeds Lake: East Grand Rapids The reporters on NPR tend to use big words. It’s something I enjoy about public radio — being educated. Sometimes I even know the words. Other times I can figure them out by their context. Today, however, Nina Totenberg threw one out there that both […]
Got answers?
My 1993 Trek, the bike that got my tush to the park Can someone please tell me why the Democrats and Republicans need to throw huge, ostentatious conventions where delegates and politicos, many who get drunk and stupid together, gather for a week to decide on something that’s already been […]
