Long drive in today because of an overturned multi-axel truck on 95. Long as in: I put the car in park for 30 minutes. This is a post of unrelated and meaningless minutiae. As I was turning on the TV last night to find Sesame Street, a Christina Aguilera video popped up in the corner [...]
Pouring snow. It’s beautiful, and actually totally bearable to me in the same way that getting slammed at work is fine the week before vacation. Hard to believe, though, that on Wednesday evening I was walking in New York in just a shirt. Grace announced today that she loves Fireman Sam, Peter Pan, and princesses. [...]
VEGETABLES The day went from zero to sixty fast. I met Steph and Elizabeth and their respective progeny at Full Moon – I wanted to see Eliz before she took off for Natches and also wanted to see the shirts she is selling. Bought matching shirts for Matt & Whit. Then home to an evening [...]
Are we worried about this? I am facing my gender biases bigtime. Whit is now massively attached to his little pink baby. Email this post
I finished Special Topics in Calamity Physics. Man is that a weird book. But some fabulous passages: I told myself that everyone – at least everyone fascinating – had a few scars.

Had the most lovely evening on Friday with Anna and Millie. I haven’t seen Millie in at least a couple of years and her energy and spirit are always contagious. She’s been at HBS for a week and her stories from the experience were hilarious. Anna was up for the day as well and we [...]
The inmates are running the asylum. Whit refuses to eat anything that grew in the earth but ate TEN donut holes this morning.Grace has a panoply of good new words that she mispronounces: fur-nah-do – the tornado that is apparently coming at any minute slosh – the frozen, super-sugary beverage/snack she wanted at the movie [...]
I am laughing out loud alone in my living room, while simultaneously wiping tears from my eyes:Catherine Newman’s blog today gets it again. I am thinking of to-do lists past and present, which speak to the same schizophrenia I have referenced before with regard to the contents of my (enormous) bag or my music taste: [...]
Awesome parenting moment this morning. Go into Whit’s room at 7am, and he is sitting naked in his crib (cage). I can smell that something is awry. He looks at me and says, “Mummy, MESS.” And then my eyes adjust to the half light and I see that he is buck naked and the crib [...]
