Not-So-Newlyweds: Our First Pet

Posted on May 1, 2012January 14, 2021 by Guests and Former Contributors

In all fairness to the fish lovers out there, Lola is not our first pet. However, in my husband’s classification system, a “pet” has four legs and fur. So Lola, our cat of two months, is the first to fit the bill. I’ve never been a cat person, but when I saw this picture in…

The Tale of Two Gingers and Two Frenchmen: Semantics and Secondary Growth

Then I watched that video which was cheered…

The Importance of Showing Up

Posted on February 6, 2012February 6, 2012 by Guests and Former Contributors

You can say a lot of things about my brother in law Joe. He makes a mean pot of homemade chili. As evidenced by my son Kyle’s peals of laughter, he does a spot on impression of King Kong in the inflatable wrestling ring. He also makes the funniest tooth fairy I’ve ever seen. But…
