Paul’s Thougts of Christmas
Paul is 4. He is mostly into Power Rangers and otherwise lives in his own pretend world of karate chops, animals, adventures, and other play things.

Google Vernacular
My daughter is 6. She’s pretty smart. I don’t know if she is the smartest kid in her class but I tell her she is all the time. Tonight she and I were talking and she told me something very cool. “When you want to find something on the computer, you google it.“ I don’t…

Fall’s Arrival
Yesterday was nearly perfect in Romeo. Temperatures in the 60-70s all day, Paul and I burned some leaves and other yard waste. We had the windows open. We wore shorts. That was yesterday. This morning the thermometer reads 48 and there is a solid drizzle. It was just a matter of time before Fall descended…
