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…

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…

Lazy Day & Posting Articles

It has been such a lazy day. All our body clocks are completely confused. It’s going to be so hard on Sam to get up Monday morning! These days have been sweet and uncomplicated. I just had a delightful candlelit…
