Sam has talked about this subject in several of his podcasts, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried to address it. I may fail miserably, but I’ll try. Sam and I had one of our twice-weekly “date nights” tonight. That…
Some people
What is it that drives some people to constantly seek arguments? It doesn’t matter what you say, they have to pick at it. I truly think, on one mailing list, that I could just post, “Oh, I totally agree with…
Red/Blue, Strict/Nurturing Families, and Inherited vs. Negotiated Commitments
I know that I read Red Family, Blue Family: Making sense of the values issue by Doug Muder several years ago. I clearly remember posting a link to it in Suzette Haden Elgin’s blog and having her pick it up…
Lovely evening
Sam had to work very late tonight, dealing with a new phone system that was being installed at the office. The poor guy came in after 8:30! After that, though, we had a nice, totally relaxed evening. The three of…
Further Prof of Insanity: Blog365
I got through NaBloPoMo, as ridiculous as it was to commit to posting at least once a day for a month. So of course that small success has led me, in a moment of more-than-usual-lunacy, to sign up for Blog365…

Things you don’t want to hear at home
“You look nice, but where are your pants?” Especially AFTER the girl already answered the door dressed that way! Mom & Sam ruling: Yeah, it may be a tunic, and marketed for wear over “leggings,” but we think “leggings” would…
Is There A NaNoReMo?
I think I want a National Novel Reading Month. I could do a novel a day (as long as I chose the right novels, of course). I’m behind on writing reviews, but I’m wallowing unabashedly in the number of good…
More Fun Reading from Carrie Vaughn
I really needed another fiction author to follow, right? But I’ve seen this series of books about a werewolf named Kitty, and I finally got a chance to read them. I finished the first, Kitty and the Midnight Hour, today…
