The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 16 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 15(how did that happen?) Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

Take a look at Liza Mundy's article in Sunday's Washington Post: Jon and Kate Plus Health Care.

And from the Times of London read Janice Turner's column about Michael Jackson, which is titled
The Fans killed their idol. They always do . It says a lot of things I've always thought about fandom and stardom.

Celebrity news is usually fluff.
But each of these pieces will really give you some things to think about.
