For the past five years, in January I’ve posted my favorites from the prior year, and it’s become the New Years’ activity I like best of all! (Prior years are here: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.)

This month has been such a busy but fun one for us, in part because Emily had a break midway through the month. We’d been hoping to go to Disneyland over the break, but between being uncertain about how much walking I could do on my knee yet and hearing from a friend that several […]

I have always loved that my birthday is in March, because in March in California the flowers really start to bloom; life is crisp and bright and cheerful. Oh, and there’s Pi. ;-P This month Tom and I had a wonderful date wine tasting in a whole new area (this is just an iPhone selfie): […]
