Living with a teenager is quite like living with an overly opinionated, randomly emo, rather ignorant, squaking parrot who you love to bits but want to silence by throwing a tarp over.

The Mother’s Day Brouhaha
My family lived in the US briefly, many years ago. Prior to that life was smaller in many ways. There were no 75 channels on tv and there certainly was no Mother's Day, Father's Day, Presidents Day and what have you. We had Children's Day where we most certainly did not get to escape from...

Switching Things Around
As comforting sameness is; it's also well...same. A bit of difference in doing things or even contemplating it can give your brain a boost of sorts.

Apparently if you deny a child... Continue Reading →
Road Trip: Day One

TO diving into the bag of snacks within... Continue Reading →
The Side Window
For those who are fans of the Hitchcockian thriller, this isn't an attempt to ride on the coattails of it. But I was hard-pressed for creativity and my brain doesn't function well without caffeine so an "inspiration" is what I'm working with since there are some similarities between me in my current predicament and Jimmy...
