Two days ago, Jake and I were driving home from the grocery store when it appeared that my street was underwater. An enormous ark-like flood of muddy water filled my street, and my first thought was that it didn’t seem warm enough to melt that much snow, when I noticed that the water was bubbling […]

Yesterday, according to the internet – which is never wrong, correct? – was Booty Appreciation Day. A moment of silence, please, while we all absorb that riveting information. Strangely, Booty Appreciation Day is immediately followed by International Women’s Day – so happy girl power to all of us! Fish on bicycles, women’s work is never […]

However, since cold follows me like a puppy, temperatures were far below normal in Palm Desert and Anaheim, where I was. Almost everyone I et commented on the absurdly cold weather, but since it was still comparable to an average ten days […]

This weekend was our neighbourhood’s annual outdoor party, complete with skating, tobogganing, and barbeque, and by some incredible good fortune, the weather was very mild, making it a perfect day.
