Indian Summer, Pumpkins and Harvest Moons

Posted in Briscoe, Thoughts, Weather on November 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »

It was sunny and warm here all of last week, which always make for an interesting Halloween. I remember as a child either sweating to death in whatever huge costume I’d been damned and determined to wear, or freezing to death in whatever thin material had seemed absolutely necessary. Last Thursday night Kate and I made pumpkin [...]

Listen, just last week I was bragging on you, how awesome the month of October is, and all the wonderfulness that goes along with Fall. But ever since, you’ve been sort of acting out. First you got really hot. Like, wow. My car said 101 in the sun one day last week. I think it [...]

Why I am not quite ready for kids

I obviously have some authority issues. As a child, adults didn’t really love me. Part of this was that I was the most hyperactive child in America (so no one ever let me baby sit growing up), and I thought a lot. One time when I was 4 I told my mom we needed to [...]

I had one of those disconnected afternoon. I couldn’t focus and I was dwelling on things that are totally out of my control. Even more than dwelling, I was…not there. Donna (our receptionist who doubles as a paralegal and document drafter – she can complete tasks in ten minutes that would take me an hour) [...]

How fun is this?

Seriously, I love me some Bizzy Fain. I got an email from her discussing plans for the Masters, which is extremely exciting. The only way that I am suffering through the cold that is lingering around our subtropical locale is by thinking of the poor little flowers and how I don’t want them to bloom [...]
