I saw this in Julia’s room and asked her what the story was. She replied, “My teacher told me no one knew if Mona Lisa was happy or sad — I think she’s just hungry.”
Mona Lisa
April 1st, 2012Harper’s Princess Phase
January 16th, 2012
Harper recently saw Sleeping Beauty and really liked it. There is one problem: she calls it “Pissin Booty.” It also turned her on to a whole world of other pissin things. She wanted pissin jammies, she wants to watch “pissin” movies, and she made the desktop on Claire’s phone a “pissin.”
Hi Rick,
January 7th, 2012Sorry about the first name basis, but I still can’t bring myself to use your last name. Quick question: is your website supposed to look like this?
Is it meant to be an expression of how far to the right you are — differentiate yourself from all those left-aligned or centered (centrists!) websites out there?
Sincerely,
Rich

Beyond Our Control
August 2nd, 2011I called the IRS yesterday and got the following message:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot answer your call.
That’s it. No “leave a message and we’ll call you back” or “call back during regular business hours”…What does this mean?
A Type of Rodent

Julia: On our hike we saw a skeleton!
Rich: What kind of skeleton?”
Julia: I think it was a stoat, but I’m not 100% sure.
Rich: A what?
Julia: A stoat…but I’m not sure.
Rich: What’s a stoat?
Julia: You know, a stoat, S-T-O-A-T. It’s a type of rodent.
Rich: What did I tell you about using words I don’t know? Just say “rodent.”

One of the many rss feeds I subscribe to is ffffound. I was taken completely by surprise when I saw Ju-Ju’s Numbers show up there. Very cool.

Harper is always trying to get her fingers on my phone or iPad. I didn’t think she could do any harm since it was turned off. She grabs it, immediately pushes the center button to turn it on, slides her finger across the bottom to unlock it, and continues to modify my task list. I’m not sure it is a selling point in this case, but Apple stuff really is easy to use.
