Zzzzzzz

I don’t want anyone to die of jealousy, but I fell asleep last night at 9:30 ( I keep having really late nights that finally have caught up with me) and slept the entire night until 7 am.  Slept like a dead person. My family must have been very concerned,… Read More

Mr. Guiness and Mr. Ripley

I don’t know who, exactly, these two gentlemen are, but their legacies are the most popular topic around our house. You may have a vague remembrance of Ripley’s Believe it or Not and The Guiness Book of World Records. I remember the former being a somewhat creepy and perplexing show… Read More

Cousins

We had cousins from Mister’s family here last week.  You couldn’t pick a more diverse-looking group of children. Here we have York, India and Jane.  Jane is about a foot taller than York even though she’s a few months younger (India is both the oldest and the shortest).  Jane hates… Read More

When did I see my father?

Mister and I went to see a movie last night called When Did You Last See Your Father? starring the still-dreamy-after-all-these-years Colin Firth. It’s a small, quiet English film about a man and his father.  The father is quickly dying of cancer, and Colin Firth spends most of the time reflecting… Read More
