So I have mentioned The Boy and some of the obstacles we have come against with his learning. What I haven’t mentioned…what I never ever mention…are some of the other obstacles we face.

Me: I’m organizing the widgets in my sidebar.

A little background…My step-dad is in the hospital, in the ICU. He had a liver transplant about 2 years ago. He has fluid around his lungs. He has been in the ICU for over a month.
A few nights ago we loaded our freak parade in the old SUV and headed off to Red Robin. My […]

Well, after a short …cough… 9 month…cough…break, I have decided to revisit the old blog. There is some dust and cobwebs, but I think I can fix her up. A few adjustments and she’ll be good as new…which, for those (5 people) of you who remember, was not that good anyway. See, should be an […]
