Moving is Fun!–Crap [Administration]
Okay, so I’ve been too busy to post for a while, and I took the time to write a long post about moving and the first day of school, and the whole thing just vanished into cyberspace. I don’t have … Continue reading
Unable To Beat The Heat, Kind Of [Soccer]
So, the rest of my Chicago trip was uneventful–other than a great Greek dinner at Athena in Greektown on Thursday night (including ouzo and many shouts of “opa!”), and a flurry of phone calls and emails as I was trying … Continue reading

So following my ordeal getting home from NYC and only a couple hours of sleep, Emma went to work with me. Emma (and Layla) enjoy going to the office even more than do Madysen and Speed. She packed up the DVD … Continue reading
