How have you been? I’ve been away. I just spent a week with my in-laws, and I ONLY have nice things to say. We had fabulous weather, we had lots of fun, and I discovered something about myself: I am naturally a rigid and rule-oriented person (this is not part of my self-discovery; I knew that already) but with […]
Math Geeks and Pi Day and Blowing Things Up
March 14, 2012 by
It’s Pi Day, the day that math geeks everywhere celebrate the ability to measure properties of a circle. Hooray for Pi Day! I don’t mean to boast, but I am awesome at math. Oh sure, I would be a little rusty these days, but back in the day I rocked the calculus world. I remember […]
COME ON DOWN! You’re the next contestant…

It’s the last day of January, which feels very strange given that, with the exception of about ten days wherein I had that feeling of doom that I would never be warm again, it has been mild. The snow is almost melted in my backyard, which is odd. Perhaps the apocalypse is upon us? I […]

I spent the weekend celebrating the birth of Queen Victoria by way of a road trip to visit my in-laws, and […]

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 […]
A Tale of Two Closets
March 5, 2011 by
Well, it’s one closet really. The other day I was making my bed and I looked up and saw this: From this view it would appear that my husband has bogarted all the closet space. All those shirts, neatly hung on the upper tier, meanwhile I have a couple of hoodies squished on the bottom […]
At that moment I knew. I knew the way you know about a good melon.

A while back, I read Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP newsletter, something I never do unless my attention is directed to it. This particular newsletter – which I cannot find archived, for some reason – dealt with how to be organized. I was particularly interested because, not to overly congratulate myself here, I consider myself to be […]
