It seems to happen every couple of months, regardless that we live in such a mult-culti neighborhood. Pho, tapioca and bulgoki places line the streets; Russians, Irish, Brazilians and Mexicans…

There is much to say and share today. I underslept - J is doing a fair amount of midnight screaming - and forgot to take my anti-drug medication this morning, so I’m tired and aching. …
They’ve been looking over my shoulder now for more than a month, but it’s not freaking me out. Really, I find their attentions comforting, almost benevolent. And how much malice…
I do have stuff to transcribe and share, stuff so valuable and important that it pains me, metaphorically, not to get into it with you right here and now. But as trenchant as my rants about words…
How many years ago was it? Five, or more? I’d seen him around enough to have given him a nickname, reflecting my fantasy of his having the interior life of a bard, based on nothing…
This one is in honor of the old crowd. Two weekends ago Nool came to visit and nine of us - nine! - who’d gone to college together a very long time ago got together for drinks and hunan…
Some meals, I whip through as quick as I can, just jamming the sustenance where it fits best so that I can keep on keeping on with as little time lost as possible.
Some meals I don’t…
I AM AWESOME. Here are two ways that this is true (No links, for reasons of personal convenience ((mine))):
Why I’m awesome, clever-dick version: When the stink went up about…
Lest I fall out of practice telling people what to do and how to do it, allow me to unburden myself regarding the laundry. I do it, with help from Kel, all the time. I iron shirts. …
Maybe that last post was a bit too much of my dirty laundry, to speak both literally and figuratively. And maybe it’s just a good place to start. Was a time that this here Chucklehut…
You know, I really do plan to post a cool little story about a toy sloth, but DAG this is one crazy time to try to get anything done. Inlaws (beloved) are in town. We go to seder tonight…
It’s the eyes that seem to speak to me. They peer out from the jumbled menagerie on the shelf behind Zach’s bed, where Kermit huddles with the fuzzy doggie and some plush hand puppets…
I’ll be out of the loop, wherever you keep yours, for the next few weeks. Maybe I’ll do lots of writing and posting, and maybe it’ll be ALL JESSE ALL THE TIME while I take…
I told you in the last post about the big new idea for “selling” passover to the elusive younger crowd: The Legend of Moishe the Passover Stoat. I explained then just exactly how…
I’ve already laid out the set-up - six years old, in England with my family, six months abroad…
It’s been a hell of a year, and promises to get even more interesting pretty damn soon. The new car arrived yesterday, not without tsurris but we overcame it as will we overcome all obstacles…
As I struggle with balky blog templates and a new laptop that just doesn’t “do” firefox anymore and oh good Jesse’s crying again - how the hell did he gash his forehead while…
I just checked my ol’ notebook and OUCH, I have been neglecting my words. Sure, I’ve been writing a lot of emails, doing a fair amount of technical computer work and an unfair amount…
Now that I’m all up to my ears watching Battlestar Galactica on DVD, everything seems to have a gritty trillium sheen of space opera subtext. (Yes I know that sheens and subtexts represent…
I’ve struggled with this one, I really have. Should I transcribe another long-ass longhand essay about, oh, a pair of pants or something? Or should I force out a poem that’s…
so, you still want the photos, do ya? DO YA? Well sometimes we get what we want out of life, and sometimes we don’t. However, this is probably one of the former rather than the…
Now that I’m back off of family leave, I want to do my best to remember what it was like to be away. Family leave is not vacation, by any stretch of the imagination - especially not when…
In keeping with last post’s theme, let’s have a bit of a visit around the ol’ neighborhood.
We can start with the new traffic lights. All up and down Highway 1, which…
Let’s start with a little list to get the juices flowing: WAYS GOD TESTS ME
* Short Answer
* Multiple Choice
* Flaming Lionpit
Okay good then, and now we can move…
As a card-carrying (albeit technically inactive) legal geeknerd, I am delighted whenever issues of jurisprudence wind up atop the newcasts. This delight, though, is typically tempered by my recognition…
Don’t think I can’t hear you thinking out there, Mr and Ms Netsurfer, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. I know I am. I hear you asking yourself or -selves, hasn’t…
In the mold (or “mould") of one of my favorite political blogs, here’s a blunderbuss-worth of mini-ideas that wouldn’t qualify for a post by themselves but I might as well stick them…
It was just a little more than one year ago that I was gearing up to travel cross-country to attend a blogger meet-up in my old college town of Philadelphia. I’d been to a similar function…
For better or worse, my discretionary writing time has been pretty well co-opted lately by projects ranging from the provocative to the infernal. Time is at a premium as it hasn’t been since…
hey my Obama, help a blogger out? I notice as I compulsively check my pathetic stats that today, for some reason, I’m getting more visits than usual, and most of them are being generated…
