We split up this Thanksgiving; Kevin took the kids to his parents’ for the holiday, while I attended my cousin’s wedding. A little odd for us, but just made sense logistically this year. They managed to get a nice family photo! (That’s Kevin, Kavi, and Anand on the left.)
Nice family moment yesterday I just wanted to note — Kavi is reading Dubliners in high school, and I mentioned to her that I teach “Araby” out of that, and she was assigned to read that story for today, so when she was doing homework yesterday, she asked if I would read it to her, …
The two highlights of WindyCon were toastmastering for the first time (fun!), and getting to spend time with (Alix) AM Dellamonica and Kelly Robson, who are both just delightful. (And, incidentally, married to each other for 33 years so far…) I’ve recently read one of Kelly’s books, _High Times in the Low Parliament (a lesbian …
I really just have too much work at the moment — it’s a STUPID amount of work. I hate to say it, but in retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have run for school board, given how much of a time commitment it is to do it (at least the way I do it, with reading the …

Just some pics of morning Anand, who is very excited that there are only a few weeks left of school. Is it a little disheartening for a teacher to see how much her child wants teaching to stop? Maybe a little! At age 12 and 3/4, he is getting taller and his voice is deeper, …
It’s Kavi’s 15th birthday today, so I made her bombatoast for breakfast. She ate two pieces, which I consider a triumph since on school days she tends to run out the door without breakfast despite all my pleading. Kavi is the best daughter (yes, yes, I know many of you think you have the best …
