Some days, I have absolutely nothing to say - nothing worth saying, nothing worth the effort of opening my mouth to utter. Frequently, on these days, I actually get annoyed with having to speak at all, or at least with having to come up with original words. Gabe just sat on my lap […]

For instance, until a few minutes ago, I’d never heard of “race bandits”: people who run without having registered for races, especially exclusive or big ones, like the Boston Marathon. I was confused when, while registering for the Kenosha Marathon, I came across the bold-lettered warning, “NO BANDITS.” My mind flashed to pistol-toting […]

I’m wearing a camisole, a turtleneck, and a sweater, and I’m still f-f-f-f-f-freezing. My dream home will have a roaring fireplace, and I swear, I’ll sit in front of that thing from October to March, just thawing. Why do I go running? Because when I’m doing that, I’m warm. Yesterday, I […]

Discovered: while running in the rain can be fun, biking in the rain is decidedly not. Halfway into my planned ride this morning, the skies opened up and dumped on me; I felt like Gabe under the water-dumping bucket on vacation. It was unpleasant. My feet kept slipping off the pedals (I’m […]

What are you having, or did you have, for breakfast today?
What are the best packed lunches, in terms of flavor and practicality?

More ways in which my kids are smarter than half the internet:
SAM: “That’s stupid.”
GABE: “MOM! Sam said ’stupid.’”
SAM (heavy, beleaguered sigh): “If I offended you, I’m sorry.”
GABE: “That’s not a real ’sorry.’”

GABE: “Okay.”
Good day to go to the Farmer’s Market. Fresh tomatoes rock! […]
