Those bears can stuff it, man!

I adore Maurice Sendak. I adore the Little Bear books. I think they are wonderful. Our children watch very little TV and Little Bear on Noggin is one show I always let them watch if it is on and truly enjoy watching it with them. I don’t know if it is because I need some [...]

A log and some sand

My lovely and drunk friend Debbi was watching my two petri dishes of love this afternoon while I finished lecture and D went to work. I arrive and start telling them about the crazy people I had just dealt with and they told me of how my son had briefly, yet AGAIN lost his mind. [...]
