Babies Make Lousy Roommates!

Yesterday I wrote about how life can suck when you have a lousy college roommate and I pondered that your family are also your roommates.  Afterwards I started thinking that babies, even my own made lousy roommates! They were loud at all times of the day or night, they never did any of the shopping, […]

Rude Roommates – They’re the Worst!

Life is great when you have great roommates. I’m speaking more so of the ones that you might share an apartment with or a college dorm, not your kids or spouse. Although technically I think they are roommates too and can also be awful at times! Not mine though, but I do imagine it happens […]

Easter Sunday with the Neighbors

There are a couple things I miss about Easter. First, the excitement of the kids when they were young running around and looking for the eggs. We got really lucky, our neighborhood would do a collective Easter egg hunt. Several households hid eggs in their yards and the kids from  the different families would be […]

Thanks Artists Everywhere

Yesterday I attended an art talk by my friend Mohsen. He’s not just obsessed with painting, but he’s also on a mission to define what art is, how it impacts our lives, our perception of the world and our reactions to it. Mohsen really loves art and science plus always puts on some very intriguing […]

#12: Why is my Brother NOT wearing a Diaper?

Now living in two different towns, during the weekends my Dad would visit us and get my brother and I together. This visit must have been the first time that I realized, that unlike like me, my brother is not wearing a diaper and his pant’s have a zipper.  My brother seems so very happy […]

#10: THINGS GOT WORSE!

So a couple months after my brother and I moved in with my paternal grandmother, my father was told that I was killing her. That I was a wild feral child. I think part of it too, was that being under 2 years of age, I was more high maintenance; there were diapers to change, […]

#9: THINGS COULDN’T GET WORSE!

So my Dad packed us up, I suspect with some hesitation thinking that my mother was tricking him into running off to another country with the kids and leaving her behind with one of their biggest assets; the business. She is a smart woman.  I guess it was a different time back then, spouses trusted […]

#6: I feel the Need for Speed!

In life we sometimes need a little help to achieve our goals, whether it’s from other people or machines. I needed to become more mobile, not just to chase food down, but also to run away from my brother and to act like a pinball bouncing off all the furniture. The downside was the wedgy […]

You’re Like a Battery… no a Car!

Hello Kiddos We all agree that Artificial intelligence will one day take over the world and it’s because AI will be smarter than people. We also know from the Matrix movies that human beings make great batteries. All this is infallible logic, but sometimes young people think they are perpetual motion machines, never needing to […]

#5: I Became TOO Cute!

Being very goal oriented from the moment I was born, I stayed true to my word of maintaining my buttery thighs for maximum cuteness factor. I’d had filled out quite nicely and like Charmin, I had become irresistibly squeezable. This was before today’s  keto diet and all those 9 month old kids with their chiseled […]
