TeamReedblog: She came back!

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/she-came-back.html

Sunday, July 12, 2015. We have our girl back and while the adult only zone has been fun - some parts admittedly a caloric-alcoholic haze - it's good to have her energy back in the house. Not that she's had a lot. I woke her when we arrived. As she fought her way back from the fog of car-ride sleeping, she said, "Is this what a hangover feels like? As if I would know. Hannah can never find anything with her name on it," she said, digging in. She cackled like a demon. I should say a savage, which was her n...

TeamReedblog: April 2015

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 19, 2015. An afterglow to remember. Some of you may remember my angst over whether the Young Actors Theatre. Board would allow me into their hallowed midst after a particularly ungraceful entrance to a play last year. Whether it was desperation or true forgiveness, I'll never know, but they let me in and this weekend, I spent a few hours at a board retreat and was just blown away by a couple of interactions with some of the current crop of students. The Court productions focus on real-world...

TeamReedblog: January 2015

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 25, 2015. As disasters go, this one wasnt. As disasters go, this one was short-lived and so it hardly qualifies as a real disaster. But for a few minutes there, I was devastated. Sick. Disappointed in myself. Definitely not wanting to confess to the Captain. I was driving downtown. Heading, in fact, straight to the Captain. We were going to leave my car at a Midas shop to get my oil changed and a tail light fixed. Gone Missing. Disparu as the French say. He wasn’t concerned at all&#...

TeamReedblog: September 2014

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 28, 2014. The Captain gets full points this week, not just for being a great life partner, but for being a good dad, too. Don't get me wrong. He's still not perfect but I would never, for example, hit him in the head with a shovel and then eat his body so I wouldn't go to jail. (More on that later.). Thursday comes and it's finally the day for us to go see Eric Church. The show is in Louisville, so Alison is beside herself thrilled that she has the evening to herself. I called f...Well,...

TeamReedblog: December 2014

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 28, 2014. And a greener Christmas still. No trip home to Maine is complete without a stop in Freeport, an outlet mecca and home to LL Bean. Jeff's parents used to frequent the place long before it became a global enterprise. Back then, it was mostly a hunting and fishing supply store and no one had thought to build a trout pond or bring in big-ass, stuffed game into the store. Generally, once you've hoarked you feel better, right? Last night was no better. I snuggled with her. Je...She m...

TeamReedblog: July 2015

http://teamreedblog.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 26, 2015. The benefits of a flooded basement. In a normal spring, like most people who have an older home with a basement, our lower level is at risk of getting a little wet at least once. It's been dried out for a while now, but we hadn't put everything back yet, weighing the forecast and whether it would be premature. We did assemble down there to watch Skarknado 3 Friday night, which might have been the catalyst for this morning's action. We had a clear agenda this morning, and Jeff decla...
