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 [...]

bowling 2008

When I went to Olympia back in October, I took the two older boys bowling. There is an alley ten minutes or so from the house and they have bumpers so it’s not just one gutter ball after another. We bowled a couple games but the highlight of this (and any) bowling trip is [...]

Great Wolf Lodge

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 [...]
