Chicago’s Berghoff restaurant will close in February. We ate there 3-4 times while at AWP in Chicago. Very sad news.

It Occurs to Me…

that we miss out on what we’d have learned from our mothers and grandmothers about baby care or, really, anything. Instead of “babies,” insert the word “car maintenance.” Before I had Olive, I read nearly every book on pregnancy — except for that depressing What to Expect book, which I promptly threw away — and […]

This week MLA takes place in Washington. We’re running around to see friends — some in for MLA and some friends from in town — and have had lots of family around, too. Yesterday we gathered 12 of us together for lunch at Normandie Farms in Potomac, MD. Go there if you can. They have […]

Happy KwanzHanuMas!
Olive woke up at 0-dark-thirty (as my father says). Get this. She was ready for her first nap at 8:30 a.m. Oh, yeah. This is my kind of baby! When she woke from that nap, I joined her in bed and we listened to the rain from under the warm, flannel sheets and […]

Brrrrr…….Time for Movies

Finally, it’s cold! I looked at the thermometer in the kitchen the other day — 19 degrees. That’s completely unacceptable, except it isn’t. Somehow I managed to go outside and climb into the car. The key didn’t even go in the lock the first three times I tried. Yikes! By noon, the temperature had become […]

A Timski a Brewski

Last weekend, we went to a party at the Clipper City Brewery. The party took place right on the factory floor. Of course, we brought Olive. She loves parties. We prepared her for future atrocities; she put her lips to Bill’s beer class. Of course, we had to take pictures of that. I even splurged […]
