Today’s Tale is from the Chronicle. Actually, this was the one that was supposed to post last Friday, but their web site was down… In any case, here it is! Key words for Searchers: Flatbread, pizza, snuggle, shrimp, Urban Flats
Read More[This is a tale that stretches my ability to improvise. Today’s tale is in the Chronicle, but their web site is currently down. Obviously, I can’t leave you guys with nothing but an excuse to carry you through the weekend, so… here goes.] My productivity these days has taken a real hit. The problem, as […]
Read MoreThis past weekend, the kids went to a birthday party with J. When they returned, they had huge inflatable swords. The things were about four feet long – taller than either of the kids. We inflated them, of course, and had ourselves a battle. I was a Giant with a shield (pillow) and a rather scary […]
