Katie’s Fall Report Card
We got Katie’s report card in, and she did in fact get all As! She’s well into the next semester now. Because everybody else was registered for this year last spring, the advanced physics course was full and she’s in the “normal” physics course. She is crazy bored.

7,000 deaths a year due to bad handwriting? Save yours!

Katie, Me and Schools
Well, we’re waiting for Katie’s final grades for the fall semester while enjoying winter break for both of us. We had Sam home for the first half of our breaks with us, but unfortunately working for a school isn’t quite as luxurious as being a student. Katie has had mostly As in her progress reports […]
Poetry: Thus Spake the Mockingbird
Thus Spake the Mockingbird –Barbara Hamby From Babel The mockingbird says, Hallelujah, coreopsis, I make the day bright, I wake the night-blooming jasmine. I am the duodecimo of desperate love, the hocus-pocus passion flower of delirious retribution. You never saw such a bird, such a triage of blood and feathers, tongues and bone. O the world is a sad address, […]
