Even my own childrenContinue reading “Quora Question: Children’s Routines”
The Heat Is On
I have lived my entire life in Western Washington, and there is a good reason I stay here… the moderate climate. It’s not too hot, and it’s not too cold, and we have a nice variety of weather… some sunshine, a little snow, hail, wind, fog, and less rain than they have in Chicago. DespiteContinue reading “The Heat Is On”

I knew it was a conservative Christian town when I moved here with 42 churches and one tavern. My neighborhood had 350 families; now, we have 800. MostContinue reading “Racism in a Small Conservative Town”
The Pandemic and Vaccines

Funny of the Day: The Knob
Oh, god… I’m dying…. A woman visited a plastic surgeon who told her about a new procedure called ‘The Knob,’ where a small knob is placed at the top of the woman’s head and could be turned to tighten up her skin and produce the effect of a brand new face-lift.
