On Sunday morning, LP complained that his “neck” hurt. I suggested that he’d probably slept funny on one of the 743 lovies/stuffed animals/pillows/happy nappers/pillow pets that he keeps in his bed, but when he pointed to his neck again and said “No, it hurts on the inside of my neck”, insisted on staying in his pajamas all day, and then read more

On Being Eight.
This guy turned eight on Wednesday. Yesterday, while finally unpacking our Art Room downstairs, I came across my yearbook from 1984, the year I turned eight.

Running: On Waving and Motherhood.
Today, I went for a short run, 5 miles and some change. By the time I got to the Y to put the kids in childcare, it was 11:30, which means, of course, that it was hotter than three hells by the time I got outside. It being August in the south, any run outside is typically blazing, unless you read more
