    “I got a song stuck in my head,” My Darling B said the other day. “Yeah, me too,” I said. “You tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine.” She chuckled at that. “Really?” “It’ll be okay,” I assured her. “Mine is one you like.” “Okay,” she said, sounding rather unsure, “if you say so,”… Read.

    We watched the season three finale of Downton Abbey the other night, so we’re finally all caught up with the series and the rest of the viewing public. I no longer feel like the odd man out. I still am, but I can pretend that I’m not. The up side: NOW I CAN READ ALL… Read.

    Last Saturday, we watched the movie Hanna. The title character is a girl who lives deep in a forest north of the Arctic Circle with her dad, who teaches her how to hunt reindeer, gut them, cook them and eat them, and oh yes he occasionally also sneaks up on her and tries to kill… Read.
