I really took it on the chin this week.
 
Literally.
 
On Wednesday, day two of the case I tried this week, I walked in the courthouse, stood in the ridiculously long security line, put my bag on the conveyor belt, and walked through the metal detector.  I went back around the metal detector to retrieve my bag, [...]

 
 
Happy Birthday Lemon!  You were a year old last week, and now, big girl, it’s time to go up the stairs!  That’s right – up those curvy, narrow, slick hardwood stairs.  Go on!  Look, treats on every stair!   You can do it!

Right now, Brad Lidge sucks, plain and simple.  He has single handedly blown 10 games for the Phils, the worst record in baseball.  It’s not a hip problem, or the blister on his ankle, or the hangnail on his thumb, it’s in his head.  It’s gone – period.  Unless he goes and seeks out Mountain [...]

Over Labor Day weekend, Joe and I did a little accessorizing to the front of our house — a lovely new windowbox and a new light.  In theory, because we live in a historically designated district, I can’t change much to the front of my house without approval – the color of my door, [...]
