It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity
There is no humidity in Portland in the summer. As a matter of fact, there doesn’t seem to be much humidity in the winter either possibly because we have the heat on all of the time drying up that luscious, rainy air. I had no idea that humidity was something that I needed. Until I …
Aliens Have Landed On My Head
And left behind a crop circle. What does this mean? Is it a beacon, a landing strip for very tiny space craft, or just something created for alien amusement?

Summer of Love, Part 1
We’re back in lovely, lovely Portland where the weather couldn’t be any more perfect and the stores are chock full of local cherries and berries. We had a super fab time on the first two legs of our Summer of Love tour in Madison and Lake Nebagamon. We have ample pics of Summer of Love, …
Health Tips from Children’s Books

Salty Dog
When I was six I fell in love with pirates. Not the “idea” of pirates or picture book pirates, but actual live pirates. They took over a plane I was on. At first, we noticed just a few oddly dressed people in the airport on our way to the Cayman Islands. A fluffy shirt here, …
