  • Memories… and Math

    I have some fond memories of things during my family’s stay at the Air Force Academy. Playing in the woods was a big part of that, but hearing about the various and sundry “Spirit Missions” that the cadets did makes for the highlights as I look back on those years (late 1980’s-1990’s) Most USAFA Spirit…

  • More “Once Upon a Time” Memory Goodness

    People seemed to like how my Mom changed government policy. So I guess I can post another goofy story or two from my parents’ past. And possibly present.

Sometimes these ripples are tiny. Sometimes they’re massive. Take, for example, a real event in the life of my  mother. Mom gets lost…

  • The Blame Game

    I am now fully ensconced in the horror known as SUMMER BREAK WITH THE KIDS. *cue bloodcurdling scream* We don’t do Day-care. To be fair, Mommy doesn’t work, so she should, you know, be vaguely responsible with the household expenses and Day-care ain’t cheap. Of course, I’ve been  grumping about how very little writing and/or…
