We've had a waterbed for more than twenty years and we've had cats peacefully co-existing with that waterbed for an equal or longer amount of time. However, Simon Illyan -- the youngest addition to the household -- has developed a strong desire to CHEW the padded rails around the waterbed. I should have paid more attention to this developing fetish before I stripped the bed this morning to wash the sheets. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a place that is ...
Since my daughter had a roller derby bout Saturday and I'd decided to do something dramatic, I stood in the shower and sprayed my hair with a bright red -will-wash-out dye before going to practice. Only one person commented on this. Obviously, doing nutty things is normal for me and thus unquestioned. While at practice, I noticed a trend (for me).

I believe they just recently reopened that mens room (it has been 6 years) with a plaque marking the tragedy that took place that day. Similar to the one outside Harrod's from the Irish bombing. I did manage to work out 3 times this week at the hotel gym. ...
I have a website I use to collect the ideas I have about coaching--mostly so I don't have to repeat myself to students or when I post on F.net--and I started to write another article for it a few months ago. My original intention was to write a quick one-off piece on organizing lessons, as a response to someone who asked me: "How do you always seem to know what to teach and when to teach it?" I breezed through the first part of the article pretty quickly: organizing lessons ...
