Today I walked on all fours. In an extremely ungainly manner. Bum in the air, hands flat on the ground doesn't do it for me. And also makes me appreciate the load my feet carry. My trainer occasionally gets his peeps to do various animal-walks. Red's come back all winded doing a duck walk and apparently... Continue Reading →
Boy Scout Motto Redux
As a parent and especially a mother you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Over the last 8 years I've got used to stepping on dinos, finding action figures under my butt and the occasion plastic snake in the bath bucket. Each animal does tend to stay in its own "ecosystem" though. For example the... Continue Reading →
You Are What You Read…
Red reads "interesting" things. He reads fiction, non-fiction and plenty of things that 'thinking' people seek out. Am far more pedestrian and I think I know the answer to that as well...let me just pull up my virtual couch as I hark back to my childhood for the insight. When I was in 5th grade,...

Creature Movie Bloglet
As a reward for a decent first term report card TO was given the permission to watch The Meg. It's a PG-13 movie for what reason I know not, but ostensibly to ward off screams from kids. That the screams maybe of joy seems to have escaped the censors. Anyhoo, the brat turned into a proper... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Aquaman
Aquaman is totally worth the money because for the price of one movie, you can view a whole bunch of movies because there's hardly anything that Aquaman hasn't borrowed from. Let's start with Jason Momoa shall we? The fresh faced young man from Baywatch Hawaii morphed into Khal Drogo and then Arthur Curry/Aquaman and made... Continue Reading →
With Divine Sanction
I tend to be a wee bit foul-mouthed while driving. And rash people on two-wheelers annoy the crap out of me! They try to squeeze through miniscule spaces a dog would hesitate to pass through, just so they can be first in line or be the first off the starting line with the rest of... Continue Reading →
Don’t Have Kids…
but be around them. Children are Nature's balm. They may come across as incomprehensible, demanding, whiny brats who you often fantasize about leaving on someone else's doorstep, but kids have something we end up losing as adults- an ability to laugh at the silliest and simplest of things. Take a little boy who's recently become... Continue Reading →
Lessons In Parenting
Letting your kids win at games may cause tiny faces to erupt into smiles but it doesn't always teach them how to aspire to win. Even worse, they often begin to expect that everyone who plays against them will also lose. When this happy state of affairs doesn't come about too often, the little face... Continue Reading →

Palpitations On A Saturday Morning
In the paraphrased words of Dolly Parton- I stumbled out of bed and tumbled to the kitchen and to pour my self a cup of salvation...and stopped still. There was a small rat on my dining table!! I was still sleepy and did not have my wits about me so I swayed in one place... Continue Reading →
