“Mom, Sean Connery died.” “What? Oh no! When?” “This morning. He was 90.” “Oh… well, that’s a good long life, but still very sad.” “Yeah, it is. I know he was your favourite.” “Yes, yes, definitely him, then Daniel Craig.” David pipes up in the background. “Second favourite.” For a moment, I am dumbfounded. “You…
“Hey Love…. where’s your passport?” asks David while I’m finishing up on the treadmill. “It’s up in our bedroom. In the thing…” I say patiently. Boys. They don’t know where stuff is… “Ummm… I looked in the thing… Your passport isn’t there.” Sighing, I turn off the treadmill. If I get up those stairs and…
“Have you seen my puffer?” “I think it was in the bathroom.” “I’ve checked there.” “Have you checked on the kitchen table?” “I’ve checked on the kitchen table. I’ve checked under the kitchen table.” “Have you checked on the bathroom counter?” “I’ve checked on the counter. I’ve checked behind the counter. I’ve checked in the…

The film is by Bianca Giaever (who just graduated from Middlebury College in Middlebury VT), entitled The Scared is Scared. The story is written by Asa Baker-Rouse – a six…
www.ebaumsworld.com Or raccoons. It could be raccoons. Whatever’s up there sounds bigger than squirrels. And I think they brought tools. Or maybe they’re just taking chunks of the old brick chimney and using them as tools to dismantle the boards that we placed over the eaves the last time the raccoons decided to take up…
TI-I-I-IME’S NOT ON MY SIDE… NO IT AIN’T… What with two house showings this weekend and an all-day Peter Pan rehearsal Sunday – editing time is nigh on non-existent. So here are some links to previous posts: Salsa Counts as a Vegetable right?, Underwear Addict, 23 Days Later and The Fabulous Lesbian Muffcrats and for…
Had to share this video from the Netherlands… Two Dutch television hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zena offered to experience the pain of childbirth. Of course their birthing experience didn’t include vomiting, involuntary pooping/diarrhea, bursting facial blood vessels, having a ‘taint’ torn/sliced and then sutured after the fact… but good on them for being guinea…
