Was Zum Teufel?!

Tuesday, Oct 30 – With California’s blazes abating, I continue to put out fires here on the home front sans the Excel-driven planning and organizational precision of my dear husband. Last week it was Mies’s digestive system and the dishwasher going out. This week, it was fighting Weims. For

Tuesday, Oct 23 – During this week of World Series baseball (which I couldn’t care less about even though I was rooting for my home-state team, the Rockies) and alleged pissed off Mexicans setting the state of California on fire, today brought bee-YOO-tee-ful weather to the Pacific Northwest. The Weims

Tuesday, Oct 09 – This week finds some of us bedazzled, some of us bewildered, some of us bemused, with the announcement of Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Wednesday, Sept 05 – During this week of we-FINALLY-got-some-damn-sunshine-and-temperatures-above-60 weather, Will was extolling the virtues of pet rats (don’t tell Oslo + Mies!). Apparently, one of his co-workers has a couple and she loves them. So, I decided to do a little research on About.com to see if maybe I

Now, if you think that seems expensive, it
