It’s the Little Things
Walking my dog Taz this morning, I passed a mom and son waiting for the school bus.

Mom listened intently as he displayed his prowess in all things silk-worm-esque. As he …
The Erma Zone
You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s a signpost up ahead.

The Twins Are Not Identical
I’ve been lamenting for a while about my girls, my breasts, the twins. As I’ve reached Club Fifty status they seem to be in a race to see which can reach my knees first (righty is currently in the lead, but lefty is not far behind). No amount of exercise – bicep curls, chest presses, …
