Happy Valentine's Day

If you are one of my six loyal followers, or for that matter anyone who's wandered into earshot during the first half of February over the past few years, you've heard of how the tradition in our house is KFC on Valentine's Day (the full story is in the archive). Here's a little update of that story, in honor of the day, and of my kids, who to my great joy, have begun to revel in the quirkiness of our celebrations as much as I.



May you spend the day with ones who bring you as much joy.

Do Not Open Until Christmas

A Poem for Christmas

(This poem has been removed. Merry Christmas!)

We return this year to the traditional writing of the Christmas Poem. I'll leave this one up for a few days.

May your holidays be filled with what you hope them to bring.
