Today, when I went to class, I sat down in my seat and pulled out my notebook and put it on the desk in front of me. Looked down. Realized it was a My Little Pony coloring book.
The kids have been in my backpack, apparently.
Hub said I should have offered the explanation, “Graduate [...]

We’re back from Disney World, btw. It was exhausting, but fun. 11 nights on the road and in Orlando. I heart my Camelbak. Perhaps I’ll do a more detailed write-up; perhaps not. Won’t be today, anyway.

My history class brought up early feminism this week. I think I’m relatively lucky in some ways that, although I may have bumped heads from time to time with a few old coots who just don’t believe that chicks can do stuff, too, I haven’t really run into anything major career-wise. In fact, [...]

I blogged about the Stardust Hotel implosion a few months ago. Thinking back on it, it’s amazing what Las Vegas can get away with. To implode a building with fireworks and spotlights would be completely unheard of anywhere but there. It’s a completely unique American city, full of glitz and neon and [...]
