George Carlin
I recieved the following in an email (you’ll see the references at the bottom.) Usually I do not forward emails and will not forward this one, I’m not even positive that he is the writer but none the less, I thought the words were insightful and and worth passing along.
A Message by George Carlin: [...]

Believe it or not, this is not a line from a British B porn movie, but actual proper croquet terminology. By golly, Jeeves, it truly is. I could not make this up.
If you don’t think of croquet as a truly remarkable experience, you’ve never played with serious croquet players. I mean, hand-made mallets and professional course, lessons and [...]

Ann Arbor Garden Tour 2008
It was a drive more than a walk, although we did get in our fair share of walking. We decided it should be the Ann Arbor Garden Tour. Or Le Mans. Or Road Rally. Or Eco Irony since there was all this good growing but you had to drive to all [...]

We met with friends Betsy and Ryan today after church and were invited to lunch to celebrate Betsy’s birthday. How old you ask. Much younger than I am and none of your business. When I got in the car and checked my cell phone I had a text from Jon saying the baby was on [...]

Weekends always seem so busy trying to get everything done that doesn’t get done during the week. It’s no different and Jon and Fawn’s. It started off with the big boys going to swimming lessons and the girls and Levi heading to Costco. I asked Andrew if he liked swimming lessons and he [...]

bowling 2008

Ahhhh, being a grandma! It’s the best.
I found a cheap ticket ($148, $199 after all the taxes were added) round trip to Seattle so booked it for the only travel days available. It meant taking the red eye both directions to Washington but the price was worth the loss of sleep. The trip [...]

Race forthe Cure
A couple months ago, well let me back up. Every year for the past few years, three? four? I think, our company has done a little informal internal fund raising for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. It started pretty simply with Nicole collecting Yoplait yogurt tops to send in. Yoplait has [...]
