The Warden's Log: THE SAD TALE OF LITTLE RED RIDING CHESTER
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2011/06/sad-tale-of-little-red-riding-chester.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Sunday, June 26, 2011. THE SAD TALE OF LITTLE RED RIDING CHESTER. One of us would throw herself on the grenade but rather which would land on it first. Then again, she and I have a Three Stooges lifestyle so chances are we'd smack heads on the way to the ground. This past Sunday we finally made it to Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo, the last night the event was running. We figure we were either very late this. Season or very early. For some...

The Warden's Log: SIXTEEN
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2015/05/sixteen.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. I remember his various short-lived obsessions like being a spy, collecting paintings from antique stores, and wanting to start a Patridge Family-style band (even though none of us can play anything except the recorder and then nothing more complex than "Hot Cross Buns"). With Grandma-made Jedi robe. A chic fedora and a briefcase full of spy gear. This morning I'm baking another cake for his actual birthday and he'll be taken ...

The Warden's Log: THE CURSE OF THE SELFIES
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-curse-of-selfies.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Monday, April 27, 2015. THE CURSE OF THE SELFIES. My daughter, Foghorn, is eleven. She'll be twelve this summer. In reality she's thirteen no matter what the calendar says. This is an. Interesting age and is accompanied by mood swings, a fresh mouth, and the unwillingness to wear any clothing picked out by her mother. It is also wreaking havoc with my smartphone. Yeah, Foghorn as a real. Thirteen year old ought to be one big thrill fest. I can't...

The Warden's Log: CAROL BRADY WOULD BE SO PROUD
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2012/03/carol-brady-would-be-so-proud.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. CAROL BRADY WOULD BE SO PROUD. I've mentioned before that I have this 1970s obsession. I refuse to listen to those who say my admiration for David Cassidy. Or that I'm somehow weird for wanting to name my children (or dogs) Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy. And so what if every time I go to King's Island I pretend I'm sitting in the. Seat Keith Partridge occupied on the carousel. To the free pattern here. Set of ...

The Warden's Log: December 2013
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. The Times Are A-Changin'. My mother hates January. To her it's a gloomy month after the festiveness of December. There's often the threat of snow, which makes her mood even darker. She's normally a very staid and stable person emotionally, but a weatherman's prediction of freezing precipitation is the one thing certain to change that. (Well, that. And the appearance of a mouse. Housewives in 1950s Tom and Jerry. It's Not ...

Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. CONFESSIONS OF A (NOW) ONE AND A HALF-ARMED BLOGGER. When I was in the E.R., right after they snapped my dislocated shoulder. Back into place and strapped me in a thick sling that felt more like a strait jacket, they informed me I might have to wear it for two to three weeks. Two to three weeks. Amazing how tough this can be. Therapy aid or medieval torture device? Of the ring finger next to the pinky.) I've been able to...

The Warden's Log: FLYING PIGS, SHRINKY DINKS, AND THE EARTHATHON
http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2015/04/flying-pigs-shrinky-dinks-and-earthathon.html
Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. FLYING PIGS, SHRINKY DINKS, AND THE EARTHATHON. Remember that kid in grade school who was always picked last for teams in gym class? That wasn't me. I was the other kid. You know, there are two kids left and one is picked last for a team and the other goes to the second team by default? And then the team groans because they're stuck with that loser? Little bit of humiliation. The Vulcan assures me I do not. I did the Flyin...

Crimes, misdemeanors, and other adventures in suburbia. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. NO SENSE OF HUMOR. NOTE TO SELF: Do not send an email detailing your latest freakish fall /. Injury to your sister thinking she'll find it funny. Instead she will call at one in the morning insisting she's taking you to the emergency room because she has no sense of humor. I honestly thought she'd roll her eyes at my continued clumsiness when she read this:. I did it again. Coming over. I don't know if you've ever seen t...
