Menopausal Mal

I was remarking to the African American receptionist at the venerable Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, WV that my sons and husband scored a tee-time at last week's Greenbrier Classic course, Old White. She didn't bat an eye and said, "they must be so excited." Such is the irony here in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Ben returned from two months in Spain and Italy. He's speaking like a Spaniard, but interjects French (care of his Parisian girlfriend), and Italian (spent this past week in Venice and Rome). It's so nice to have both sons under one roof for the first time in 2 months. Next weekend, we head off to... Sign in to see full entry.

Eurasians and blended children of the Tiger Woods and Barack Obama variety have nothing on THIS cute little feller - the result of a cavort between a donkey and a zebra.

On Saturday, April 24th, over 30 members of the Opera Company of Philadelphia Chorus and principal cast members from the upcoming production of La Traviata converged on the Reading Terminal Market Italian Festival.

Jacob effectively had his last day of High School today. He's set with college plans, had his 2 month study-trip to Israel with his class and came home at the end of March to work on an Independent Project (this is High School speak for Senior Slump with benefits). Today, he presented his project to... Sign in to see full entry.

So, Ben decided to do some middle of the night knitting projects around campus and film it for his English class. Here's the video! Have fun. Sign in to see full entry.

Lost is coming on soon, so I have to make this quick. Yes, I'm one of those crazy Lost fans who really doesn't care if the whole thing ends up making no sense at all. I'm used to quirkiness and ambiguity. There's a lot of that going on around here in Stamford, CT. Well, perhaps not ambiguity - but... Sign in to see full entry.
