In the past week, I’ve spent quite a bit of time attempting to expand my technological horizons. I’ve been looking for Google Reader alternatives, trying to adjust to the new phone, and attempting to commit myself to not suck on Twitter now that I’m all mobile and connected. I’m @CapDistFun, by the way. Just in … [Read more…]
I’m not taking this snow forecast very well. I know, I know, I’m the one who’s always talking about how we all need to Embrace Winter. And I do think that, on a purely intellectual level. Two winters ago was our best winter ever because we spent so much time ice skating an skiing and … [Read more…]
On Friday, M called me about 20 minutes after she left for school. She’d forgotten a book report project. Could I please, please drop it off? Usually, M’s terribly responsible. But in what I fear is an unwelcome new trend, she’d forgotten something just a week before. So as soon as I took Friday morning’s … [Read more…]
After rallying for the water park trip (I’ll link to the review when it’s ready), J wasn’t feeling great again. She stayed home yesterday, but this morning she said that she could handle school, and against my better judgement, I let her go because it was Leprechaun Trap Day (you know that I don’t love … [Read more…]

J crept into our room at 2 am complaining that her head hurt and she was coughing too much to sleep. Sure enough, she had a fever, and even after some Motrin she was shivering under her covers, so I spent much of the night in bed with her before stumbling back to my own … [Read more…]
I just love it when the land of social media is bursting with joyful karma, like when I wrote about The Bloggess and her Red Dress Project, and in the last week or so there have been a couple of delightful feel-good social media items, so I thought that I’d share them. I don’t know … [Read more…]
I wasn’t emotionally prepared for all of that snow. But if you spent any time outside in the afternoon, it was about as gorgeous and spring-like as a snow day could possibly be. Cute W was working late (and then driving from up north, through the snow) last night, so we slept in a bit … [Read more…]
I mentioned way back in August that the Schenectady Museum is now called miSci, which stands for the Museum of Science and Innovation. I finally got a chance to check out the new-and-improved science museum last week, so I thought that I’d give you a report. If you haven’t already heard, they’ve got a Butterflies … [Read more…]
