On Friday my 8-year-old was doodling out of an Ed Emberley book and having a rollicking good time putting this together: I ran across it a couple of times over the weekend, and by Sunday noon, looking for something fun and easy to relax with, I could take it no longer. I had to do […]
A Tale of Two Rabbit Tales
I’m in the midst of reading The Green Ember by S. D. Smith to some of my kids. At the same time, I am reading Watership Down by Richard Adams to myself. I’ve not read Watership Down before, but you may have. The Green Ember is a very recent book. Both of these books are […]
The Terminal Velocity of Squirrels

It claims that “…’leaving home’, finding the one job for life, the one partner for ever, getting married, having a baby, buying a home, these remain the sum of desires, however unrealistic […]
