We got a new piano at our house yesterday. It was raining when he pushed it up the steps, but we were excited. We were trying to tell the man who delivered it that we were going to make a revolution with the songs we were going to play on it…the mommie revolution! “Is that [...]

So, it didn’t work out in Copenhagen, I guess that means this is the end. It’s too bad… I heard someone say the other day that the reason people don’t try to prevent a climate catastrophe is because we don’t have a clear picture of what ‘the end’ would look like… The end will be [...]

Lately, Abilene and I have begun to wonder how we will be getting the superpower cuffs that we’ve been making to the President. We asked the trees for some advice. They told us that there was a wishing pond nearby… and all we had to do, was make a wish, throw in our coin, and [...]

When we arrive into this world we are hungry; and for awhile, the things we want the most are the same things that are good for us. But then at some point, things get mixed up. Is there a doctor in the house? Abilene and I pick up a lot of stuff that people don’t [...]
