This pile of books is never going away, so I’m going to cheat to catch up. These are nearly all books I read at the very beginning of the year that I didn’t know what to write about anyway, so…

Adreneline junkie by proxy

Posted on: March 30, 2005 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I’m shaking right now. We freaking LOVE the Amazing Race here. It is *literally* appointment television for us, but we always get way too into it. We sit there on the edge of our seats, *literally*, gripping the pillows with…

People are GREAT!

Posted on: March 18, 2005 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
And for once I’m not saying that sarcastically! When our poor little car got jacked we were (and still are) up a creek. We’ve only been in town for 5 months, we don’t know anybody, the nearest family is five…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…
