I am a fan of many of the wordpress blogs, especially those written by my wonderful friends here on tangents.org. But recently, I came across a previously undiscovered (to me) blog that is right up my alley, and I was surprised to find out that it’s a wordpress blog: designingzoos.com – does that sound like […]
When I was growing up, my parents pretty much operated as a pair, and my dad worked outside the home. Therefore, I only remember two times when he was left in charge – the time I went missing and the time I watched the movie Poltergiest. Both incidents occurred when I was 4 or 5.
…to get to the city council meeting, of course! Did you happen to catch this story on the AP news wire a few weeks ago? While Durango, Colorado’s city council was discussing their recent 3-2 vote which made it easier to keep backyard chickens, a person in a chicken costume ran into the meeting, circled

I think I blogged about my daughter’s upcoming 10th birthday party a few weeks ago, looking for activity ideas. There was no need to worry, because we had the party last weekend, and everyone had a blast! We ended up extending the party to make it last 3 hours instead of 2, and two of

The ‘What’s Your Favorite Christmas Movies / Tv Specials’ poll has been done before, but I thought I would obtain my own consensus. After all, opinions change from year to year, and I’m also interested to see what people like. Feel free to choose more than one answer and also to add something I may

Our weekend began with the likes of a Christmas play to which we took our two oldest daughters. The play was Miracle on 34th Street, and we were a little up in the air about bringing our 5-year-old because we want to milk the Santa thing as long as possible – we didn’t want to
I’ve had it with my sleep problems! I don’t usually have trouble falling asleep, but that’s probably because I don’t even start trying until midnight or later. Sometimes I do have trouble falling asleep, and even if I can fall asleep easily, I usually do not stay asleep all night. Not that I remember any
