Red bought an Echo Dot for th house last year. Suffice to say it's the digital pet. The offspring has bonded with Alexa quite a bit. I keep hearing his voice trilling , "Alexaaaa" on and off right from the time he's up in the mornings. Echo Dot has more capabilities that can be tapped... Continue Reading →
Priorities
We have a Gopro mini camera. The offspring loves it because he can take it underwater. I love it because it helps me not lug the entire camera gear I tend to normally take. For a totally amateur photog I have quite a bit of gear; which we discover only while packing. We're vacationing in... Continue Reading →
Loose Lips…
Yesterday while running an errand I got blocked into a narrow lane by an imbecilic cabbie who had parked bang in the middle of the road with no thought for anyone else. Apparently when you have to take a whizz everything comes a poor second. So there I was, getting more annoyed by the minute... Continue Reading →
Kids: Boon Vs Bane
The jury is still out on that one. On one hand you can remember them as the cutest, cuddliest, chubbiest drooly monsters that walked around with a diaper-covered bum. And on the other hand you wish you could sedate them or keep them in suspended animation when they're getting their best and most annoying bratty... Continue Reading →
Dafuq Wake-ups
An unexpectedly early wake-up call brings horror movies to mind.
Weekend Wobblies…
Wobbly because till things get set right, it's always wobbly and might even topple over. Like the unending towers my kid builds. I've usually found that one can accurately predict that a small person (not being politically correct about the midgets and others of their ilk) lives in a particular house. It's not always the...

Sunday Morning Bloglet

But the universe and (almost always) ny child conspire to have me say the most unlikely things in life Happy Sunday people. Here's to more currency being found on your person... Continue Reading →
Ode To My Oddballs
My family is a bit kooky. And in that we're perfectly normal I suppose. Since I don't have a "fly-on-the-wall" access to my friends and neighbors' homes, am assuming that their kookiness can rival and often outdo mine. Those who are painfully normal, I don't know what to say...you are clearly the minority amongst us.... Continue Reading →
Driving Dairies
Imagine this...you're driving on a crowded market road; pedestrians jostling with vendors, buses bearing down on you and the inevitable morons who insist on driving with the high beam on; blinding you for what seems like eternity. To add to the fun, imagine shielding a plastic bag full of fish for the aquarium; on the... Continue Reading →
Riding In The Car With A Boy
I don't have to drive my kid around much since he started going to grade school 2 years ago. By the time he gets home it's usually late afternoon and then he snacks, plays, does his homework or has play dates in the community we live in so we seldom step out during weekdays. On... Continue Reading →
