So, what would you do if your cute man, the fixer of household brokenness, the chef de cuisine , the guy who cheerfully accompanies you to Maryland Sheep and wool (next weekend! yippee!), the fellow with the big booming laugh you just adore - yeah, that guy - what would you say if he asked [...]
I have a real fascination with Rube Goldberg machines. I don’t have the right sort of brain to come up with them, but I love them. When I was out visiting Marie and her family, and her kids were playing with their Mousetrap game (as opposed to playing Mousetrap, which is a very different thing), [...]
Okay - this one’s for the serious Milo fans…
