“Did you know there’s a Pac Man in your ear?” My Darling B asked me the other day. I laughed at her because I thought I heard her say, “Did you know there’s a Pac Man in your ear?” But then I looked at her and saw she had her finger stuck in her ear,… Read.

One of our Japanese friends posted a status update on Facebook that may have lost a little in translation, at least as far as the translation by Bing is concerned: Read.

Woke up at about four o’clock this morning to a massive downpour, lots of thunder and lighting and cats walking across my face, not technically part of what one would normally consider a downpour but it was happening, so I note it.

deluge
It rained again yesterday evening, not regular rain but scary rain, the kind that comes down sideways in thick sheets and made me think that we might be on the front page of a few newspapers in the morning. Are there still newspapers outside of Wisconsin? I went looking for our emergency flashlight even though… Read.

stoned
My Darling B and I took Sean on a day trip to see The House On The Rock yesterday. “It’s something everyone has to do when they go to Wisconsin, and we haven’t done it yet,” she explained. So, in spite of a tiny bit of reluctance I may have detected from Sean, we jumped… Read.

magic
It rained! For the first time since, I think, May, it rained! Not much, and not for very long, and all traces of it were dried up and gone about an hour later, but for a while it was pretty magical, so much so that My Darling B went out on the patio and stood… Read.
