I want to blog about the friends that were lost in the fire while I was gone, and how many lives you can touch without realizing it. I don’t think I even considered it until they were gone, just how many people they touched.
One of them I knew a bit better. When I say [...]

A couple of years ago, Elliott did the course to get his Merchant Marine license. We always fantasize about wandering off for a different career, for him either captaining charters or teaching diving, for me tagging along to maybe cook and teach pilates. Anyhow, that is unlikely to happen anytime soon (see: getting children [...]
Most of my free time in the summer ends up being spent on a boat, so it was a nice change of pace to spend a low-key weekend in Seattle with Elliott, visiting our best friends. I always say that a day away on the boat feels like two, but I also think a night [...]
You all know how I am by now. I come, I go. I have fits and starts. Life is good right now, let’s just start there. I’m happy, healthy, and just got myself immersed in a project for awhile. Now it’s done, and I have two other projects that I am just dipping my [...]

Just a quickie this morning – I am off to take my youngest child to take her driver’s test. In two short weeks, all 3 of the teenagers will be legal operators of motor vehicles. I find that really hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday that half of my day involved driving them [...]
As I’ve mentioned, we are trying to figure out which site upgrades to do to make our site a better resource, and in what order to do them. One thing that we want to possibly try is to introduce free hosted blogs, like blogspot.com, livejournal.com or blogger.com does. While I definitely believe that it’s nice [...]

Ok, so forgive me for using my blog as a sort of post-it-note to myself, but watching 500 Days of Summer tonight sparked a desire to blog about the things I love about the city I live in. I won’t tell you HOW a movie about love and loss and growth did that for me, [...]

So Apple is banning “adult” apps from the iPhone store. It’s of course been all over the blogisphere, twittered about and debated. But I guess the thing that strikes me is this: they are choosing not to distribute that content. It’s not that you can’t choose to have an adult app on your phone: you [...]
