I just watched A Wrinkle in Time with Sage. I read the book when I was a kid, and remember being very impressed with it. This time, it had a different message for me. When Meg is battling IT, IT tries to exploit every vulnerability with ITs lies. It attacks her most of all through [...]

1. Sage and I have been riding bikes A LOT. For us, anyway. At this point, we’re riding six miles a day, including some hills! My legs and butt have gotten pretty toned from the bikes, walking and now salsa dancing! We started doing ab work this morning. I’m very inspired by the people who [...]

Sage and I have been going on the trails a lot lately. Today, we took the dogs and walked three miles. I parked my car in the middle of where we were walking so we could double back if Salsa started limping, but for the first time in forever, she didn’t! So we had an [...]

For Zay who paid me the compliment of asking for my chili recipe last night.
This chili was made on the spot, as the gourmet vegetarian three-bean chili I was attempting to make didn’t work out at all, since our pintos that we’ve had in storage since forever waiting for Armageddon refused to cook in [...]

I shamelessly copied Margaret and posted the first bits from the first posts of each month of the year. I’m not sure how telling this is, because unlike a year or two ago, I now have a more difficult time writing openly on my blog. Also, so many of my posts are a whole bunch [...]
