THE BLOG HAS BEEN “MADE” | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011.

August 19, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011. So . . . I sometimes mention that I work as an adjunct professor? I have always tried to keep my online life separate from that role.  I work in the grad psych department, and even though I still have the inevitable embarrassing moments in the class, I at least want to create the illusion that I am a professional.  Because of that, I’ve hoped my social media stuff would go unnoticed  – and for many years it has.  Because . . .

Wednesday’s Child: John

August 18, 2021

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

ANGER CONFUSED AS LOVE, AND THE REST OF 2010 | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011.

August 12, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011. I continue in my 15 minutes of fame as the woman who loves/hates minivans, depending on where you’re reading. So controversial, I am!! It’s like a telephone game.  I made anti-minivan remarks!  I’m the woman who fell in love with the minivan!   (Um, no.)  I’m riding on the coattails of Rage Against the Machine and should be ashamed of myself! I think that my being quoted on any of this conversation is utterly amusing, . . .

A positive COVID case in our fully-vaccinated house

August 9, 2021

Welp, you can add our family to the list of cautionary tales about vaccinated people getting COVID. My son (Pfizered x2 since June 6) tested positive recently, after being exposed at a church camp. A couple anecdotal observations that support the data we're seeing about vaccines:   1. He had no symptoms at all. We only tested because others had tested positive. He felt perfectly fine. There was an outbreak of 20+ kids. Most of the unvaccinated kids were very sick. He caught it from an . . .

Life Lately

August 9, 2021

India is in tech week for her show and it’s safe to say Spring Awakening has become her new fashion aesthetic. It’s not a costume, it’s a lifestyle. (Come see her show! Tickets here: @braverplayers_theater) Accountability over party. It shouldn’t need to be said.
