I was pleasantly surprised earlier this year by “Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide” (which one of my employees gave me…as a joke?). It was only after I finished the book that I learned that it was written by the guy who wrote "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)"!!!

Everyone misunderstood Deep Thought. He didn’t say the answer was 42. He said it was “For tea, two.” That’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything

Classic New England fall fun. Just came very close to losing our kids in the corn maze. Maybe next year!

My 10yo lately is trying to learn break dancing from YouTube tutorials, and at least once a day I am lectured on how I actually am able to do some break dance move, but I’m just choosing now to (I am not able, probably never was, and certainly never will be)

Review of Cats

I went to see this play on broadway, and it was like nothing I have ever experienced. And not in a good way. It was just people dressed as cats, pretending to be cats, and singing about cat stuff.

*school picture day. 1 minute before needing to leave for school*

Both kids: All of a sudden, despite no prior interest, I am very invested in what I will be wearing for picture day and must consider what it will be. Perhaps I shall try on things I haven’t worn in months that clearly no longer fit.
