Tuesday, January 27, 2009. The Crazy Things I Am Thinking. As we are counting down the days until our daughter's arrival, I am becoming more and more obsessed about one thing: I need to become a girl again.

Saturday, September 20, 2008. The Incredible Shape-Shifting Boy. Probably my most favorite of all of his alter egos is "Super-Sharp Thornbush Man."
