Not as in – that building has been sitting around here for 4 years. More like – some fun structures made by a 4 year old. This one has a kind of feudal feeling to it. And here’s a nod to I. M. Pei. And this one – hmm, maybe a little bit of the …

Who is Winning?
This morning my 7 year old daughter asked me, “So who is winning, Hillary or Obama?” I told her it’s a tough call right now. She said, “I think Hillary should win.” I asked her why. “Because I think there should be a woman on our ‘presidents’ placemat.”
Food
Finally. Let’s talk about food. Before I flew to Peru, I read a bunch of books and blogs about the country, and they all had recommendations regarding local tastes and treats. “Have a Pisco Sour!” they said. “Ok!!” thought I. “Definitely try some ceviche,” they advised. “You got it!” I promised. Once I arrived, my …
I love ballet!
I started taking ballet classes at 36, because one day last year, I looked in the mirror and realized that if I didn’t get on the stick, my dancing career would be Out The Window. Fortunately, this amazing dance studio in my town offers beginner level dance classes to adults, so I was in luck. …

Last April Fool’s day was on a Sunday. Using our powers for evil, we woke up the kids and went through the morning pretending it was Monday. Our poor daughter kept shaking her head sadly and saying, “I was sure it was still the weekend!” We packed lunches and tried to move with that clipped …

The time has come, the Walrus said
Let’s start with the ships. We took a drive over to Alameda last weekend with my parents, to check out the insane flea market there – talk about many things! It’s always fun to look around there, but ultimately I was foiled, since I was hoping for square dance petticoats, but unwilling to spend $40 …
Hot Wheels
My latest favorite nickname for our 4 year old is Ricochet. It’s such a dashing yet accurate name for this guy – particularly since he stopped using training wheels about six months ago. But the other day he informed me that his nickname is NOT Ricochet. It’s Hot Wheels. (Also apt, seeing how completely devoted …
