- About Me:
- I'm a writer in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, blogging about my son, pop culture, and dog agility when I get around to it. I can finish cryptic crosswords in mere minutes, but cannot figure out how to assemble the wicker Christmas reindeer on my front lawn. I suffer from asthma, sleep apnea, and poor dental hygiene, and I have a fondness for provolone cheese, Steel Rail beer, and, every now and then, Perry Como.

8. “No, don’t drink the bathwater. Seriously, just don’t.”
7. “Why should I build another tower if you're just going to destroy it?”
6. “You did? Really? Let me see. You did! You get a sticker!”
5. “Yeah, it was a new one! They saved a ladybug from a Venus flytrap! It was awesome! I mean, he thought it was awesome.”
