Not a regular series because most Saturday nights I’m either out on a hot date or fighting off the horde of children I’ve produced, due to previous hot dates. Next Saturday night we’re going to The Magic Flute with some of our favorite neighborhood friends, week after that, back to the horde.
So here it is, […]

It’s not summer, it’s not June, it’s not father’s day today, not according to any greeting card companies. But it’s father’s day to me. My husband Rick is in Chicago saying goodbye to his dad. Actually, he said goodbye to him Monday night, when they talked on the phone and reached a rare political agreement […]

Shelley Powers is in the midst of refactoring her blogging again. That makes me bold enough to tell you about my own blogging plans. I can’t tell all, not yet, but I can sketch it out at least. And I will start with a little bit of history, because this is my blog, and I […]

We’re too caught up in thinking we can predict and control the future. I see it with my friends who want to plan their childbearing and career jointly to the nth degree. Then they have trouble getting pregnant. Or they don’t and they’re surprised at how fast it happens. Or, sadly, their children have grave […]

I was involved in an email discussion recently with a few web 2.0 savvy women recently when the conversation turned to princesses. You do know, don’t you, that every time we women talk amongst ourselves, we always get around to shoes and princesses? I proposed that we hold a Princess 2.0 conference. What better way […]

I cannot focus. I have too many pressing things to do: plant Apricot Beauty tulip bulbs and grape hyacinths around my new skyline honey locust tree, pretty up the chat capability for the podcast jam website, review a load of database design docs for a client, hire an afterschool nanny so I don’t turn into […]

I’ve been following Seth Roberts’ Shangri-La Diet (SLD) since the beginning of August. My main goal in starting it was not to lose weight but rather to get my cravings and energy swings under control and to prevent weight gain in the future.
The SLD approach isn’t really a diet. It’s a mechanism for suppressing appetite, […]
Les Orchard confesses he’s a serial enthusiast, flitting from nanoproject to nanoproject. He enjoys the process more than the results. How very mindful. He says:
So what’s my point in all of this? Mostly just writing to think this notion through. I’m sure this isn’t a terribly original self-discovery, but it’s one that I wanted to […]

In twenty short minutes I need to be at my son’s school to help paint the Hamlet set. He is half a Hamlet, splitting the part with another student. Happily, he gets the “to be or not to be” speech. I’m in charge of programs and helping out with the set. Good stuff. It’s so […]

God, Maui is beautiful, isn’t it? I took this picture on Keawakapu Beach at midday yesterday when I decided to go to the beach instead of writing a blog post. In one month I am moving with my husband, three kids, and dog to Denver. My priorities now are making a smooth transition for my […]
