Wednesday, August 19, 2009 It’s time for my annual Labor Day camping trip with my girl scout troop. This will be our 6th year of spending quality time together with monster mosquitos, wobbly canoes and rope burns as I spend my time teaching girls how to start really big fires and how to get burnt…
My Blog
Mum’s The Word…
TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 2008 Before I begin, I have to explain the above photo. You see, my mother has decided that all my blogging about the outdoors have made me appear too boyish. We were at a wedding in Chicago and she took this picture with the explicit demand that I post it so people…

World’s Weirdest Roadtrip Thru Wisconsin
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 So, this past weekend, we went up to visit Mr. Assassin at Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin – where he is taking military related classes on how to blow up stuff. It was a four hour, winding trip through tiny towns. I always forget how strange Wisconsin is. And I like it. You…

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 Okay, so it’s the Halloween season and we’ve been watching a lot of horror movies. The most recent was this evening with I AM LEGEND. And it got me thinking. What is the one dog breed you would want to have with you after the apocalypse? In this movie, Will Smith…
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON JELLY
Well, HELLO there! My desk has a fuzzy, judgy accessory. Jelly is a cat, but don’t tell her that. She’s pretty sure she’s royalty and this is her fiefdom (we consider her more like Ivan the Terrible, than Elizabeth II). It probably bothers her that we don’t bow and scrape on a regular basis, but…

I Am Kaiser Sohze
Wednesday, August 15, 2007 So, I’m watching The Usual Suspects as I sort and label the kids’ school supplies. Damn, it’s a good movie. Plotting a really tight mystery is one workshop I’d love to attend. I admire that gift above all others. I’ve had a lot of people tell me they were surprised by…
Of Deep Fried Rattlesnake, Bison Kabobs and Prickly Pear Margharitas
Wednesday, September 19, 2007 My husband and I just got back from a long weekend in Arizona. We were there for a wedding, but my ultimate goal was to see the Grand Canyon. Well, I’m sad to report we didn’t make it. Things came up, yadda, yadda, yadda, and blah, blah, blah, but our concierge…
