Another Boskone!

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Erin

It’s February. More specifically, it’s President’s Day weekend (I’ll save the rant about remembering when we got two separate days, Lincoln’s birthday and Washington’s birthday), and that means another trip to Boston for Boskone. As this goes live, I’m actually … Continue reading →

Thawing the brain

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Erin

I don’t know about you, but my brain just Will. Not. Work. when it’s cold. Not for anything. So today, I am grateful for central heat. (Just as I will undoubtedly be grateful for central air-conditioning come July and August.) … Continue reading →

Viruses and videos

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Erin

Today, I’m grateful for something small — really small. A virus. Sounds like a weird thing to be grateful for, doesn’t it? My daughter’s been coughing and complaining that her ears and throat hurt, so I took her to the … Continue reading →
