    DS13 just asked me what a "busy signal" is on a phone. Hark back with me to a time before voicemail and call waiting.

      My kid (he was 6 at a time) was hysterical because he couldn't pause the tv show. I couldn't explain to him what live television meant. He thought I was making it up.

      My kids were up by 6:30, an hour and a half their scheduled time. By the time I figured out why, the entire table was covered with empty candy wrappers.

    What is worse than a leaking roof? A leaking roof that you just paid $8000 to repair. So it wouldn't leak.

      Oh, this is serious. I hope they fix this soon.

      It's cloudy here as well. If we could get a tropical storm in July, let's hope the gods of rain will feel sorry for us and send us some water.
