Call me crazy, call me a masochist, call me a glutton for punishment, call me maybe, but I really love terrible winter weather. I love looking at it, I love playing in it, and I even love driving in it. And this year, on the winter solstice of all days, we were treated to a […]

Tenor Dad and the Ghost Light
A week or two ago I was driving to an audition in New York, and because it was an early November evening, the sky was pitch black. I drove through the darkness, out of Vermont and down the east side of New York State, with no terrifying incidents to speak of, but when I got […]
Crowd Control
It’s official. I am a Vermonter again. It has taken a few years of this relaxed pace of life to find my groove, but I no longer assume that every other driver on the road is out there for the sole purpose of cutting me off, and when there are long lines at the supermarket […]
Driving Home From an Audition
Man. What happened to all the Twizzlers? I wish there were more in the bag and less in my stomach. I’m not feeling sick or anything, I just wish I wasn’t so far along in the process of eating the entire bag. Having Twizzlers in my stomach is not the good part. The good part […]
How I Spent My Summer, By Bear
Hello. This is Bear. I am using my magic and taking over the computer. I think there should be more posts about bears, so I am going to tell you all about the fun bear things that I did this summer. To start with, Ruby took me with her to Syracuse. I tried to drive […]

Dozer Day: My Children Learn to Operate Large Construction Vehicles
When Ruby asked me where we were going, I told her it was someplace that she would like, but that Edward would really, really like. This is because we were going to Dozer Day, a large muddy festival at which three year old boys can drive and operate gigantic construction equipment, or, in other words, […]
Ice is Magic
Me: “Edward, what’s going on back there?” Edward: “I don’t want my ice.” Me: “You can’t just pour your ice all over the car.” Edward: “I poured my ice in my cup holder. I don’t want my ice.” Me: *sigh* “Well, you can’t pour your ice in your cup holder either. There is still a […]
Should Have Taken My Meds First
So last week I started taking some medication to hopefully help with my focusing issues, and I have to say that I think it is helping. I am getting a lot more done, I am already more organized, and when I do get distracted I realize it quickly and am able to quit the distraction […]
How It Feels To Be Hated
(WARNING: I tried to take the adult language out of this post, but it just didn’t have same effect. Sorry. Back to happy stuff tomorrow.) So the weirdest thing happened to me the other day. We had some friends in town for the weekend and they wanted to go see the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, […]
