  • The Queen Mom’s Birthday

    A few notable things happened on the Queen Mother’s birthday: 1) She got a card from a friend showing an old lady in a crown and caftan with a caption something like “Queen for a Day”, which the friend amended to ready “Queen Mother for a day ever.” 2) She got another card which presented…

    Birthday Week 2006

    When we were first married, one of the many (Many. MA-NY.) things Gary and I had to work through was the birthday issue. My family celebrates one’s birthday, remarkably, on the day one was born. The in-laws like to play around with which day shall be the Feast of the Birthday. The date is not…

  • Miracle #4

    Add another miracle of things Lost and Then Regained: After Nine Days, the Queen Mother is back in her quarters. Raise the flag! The electric power is back.

  • In Which We Almost Kill the Queen Mother

    The Queen Mother, you will be surprised to hear, contracted polio when she was 13. This was after the iron lung but before the polio vaccine. The polio affected her legs until college, and it affected her arms permanently. She has one good opposable hand on one arm and one good bendable elbow on another,…

  • Best Shirt EVER

    Okay, who wants this shirt? I do! I do! Oh, and happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

  • I Am Provoked

    So, Gary and I watched South Park this past Wednesday, waiting for them to bring the funny. No funny. Also no Cartman, no Kenny, no Kyle, no Stan, no Butters, no Timmy (“TimmmMAAHHH!”), and again, no funny. Oprah’s vagina holding a gun. But no funny was brought. I turned to Gary and said “Is this…
