Monday Miscellany

When I realized that I was going to have a large family, I looked forward to dropping five of them off at the local Catholic school every morning. Then, my parish ran into a string of bad luck (some of it self-induced) and the parish school started flagging. They shut

Tuesday Blurbs

Summer is over. The kids start school today, and things return to normal. Thing is, I kinda like it when things aren't normal, especially when it means my days aren't sandwiched between getting the kids to school and getting home in time for children's

The Labor Day Eudemon

Not much today. After writing on Saturday morning that I was going to relax, four U of M tickets fell into my lap. I gathered up two of my boys and my nephew, then sped to Ann Arbor for the historic game. It was painful . . . but funny. Oddly enough, Michigan
