Why does it never fail that I ponder a story problem for hours–such as how the ancients knew the world was round and where the hidden weaknesses were in the earth’s tectonic plates–and then figure it out EXACTLY when it’s time to rush off and pick up the kids from school? By the time I spend 45 minutes driving around to two different schools and two different car lines (man, do I hate school car lines!) singing “waving your bladder” and “baking carrot biscuits” I’ll have completely forgotten the answer!

The current one playing is the soundtrack from “A Knight’s Tale” only they’re not begging me to switch that one. They LOVE the song We Will Rock You. They scream it at the top of their lungs while we’re driving home from school. Today I actually noticed what my daughter was singing:
“We will, we will rock you.
We will, we will rock you.
Buddy, you’re a young man, hard man,
Shoutin’ in the street, gonna take on the world some day.
You got blood on yo’ face,
You big disgrace,
Wavin’ your BLADDER all over the place.”
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
