So I Have This Unsympathetic Daughter…

I might have been complaining yesterday about how limited my life has become with broken ribs, to the point Molly had enough. “What can’t you do now?” she demanded. “What?” To tell the truth, I had to think before I could reply. I’ve improved a great deal. I no longer flinch and scream when people draw near, [...]

You Can Set Your Watch By My Family

My iPhone must be on the fritz. That’s the only possible explanation for the following: •The ToolMaster dislikes video games and tablet computers. They are a sign of rampant consumerism and pander to society’s need for instant gratification. Therefore, when Molly attended a Christmas work party and won a Lenova Thinkpad that she planned to [...]

Gratz for the Laughs

Until yesterday, when Frank decided it had been posted so long no one noticed it any more, this was the tattered sign posted on my office door: INTERRUPT ME ON PAIN OF DEATH. I AM ACTUALLY WORKING AND GETTING WORDS DONE!!  :) I suppose this is a microcosm of how I tend to function when [...]

Who Said Rashes Aren’t Fun?

I’m starting a new feature on this blog, and it will be more regularly updated than any other meme I’ve followed because of the natural abundance of material. (Note to self: check if I’ve followed any memes in the past, and if so, give them cool names, which will double this blog’s readership in no time.) Anyway, the [...]

If I Had a Moustache, and Other Too-Early Morning Ramblings

It’s 4:58 AM and I’ve finally given up on sleep. Since I’m in the mood to chat and there may be a few of you up, an impromptu post. Of late I’ve been working on a few time-sensitive writing projects that have kept me on the Internet less. It’s good to feel productive again, to [...]

Reprisal: A Letter to My Daughter Upon the Beginning of Her College Career

Almost a year ago I ran this post, and it’s remained one of this blog’s most popular. Since many of you are embracing big changes in your family today, I thought to do a reprisal. Back later this week with a new Tarty post.  ~~~~~~~~ My dearest Molly: On this, the auspicious beginning of the rest of your life, [...]

Construction — both Familial and Structural

This winter we had a freeze-thaw cycle that was murder on the pavement, no more so than at the bit of cul de sac which abuts our front yard. Then we had a lot of precipitation. The result was a teensy sink hole at the foot of our driveway which hasn’t dried since last fall. In [...]
