Question: Why do Smart Cars look like such Dumb Cars? It’s like tacking “PhD” onto the title “Miss America”…doesn’t make her look any brighter. Just something I was pondering as I drove through Holzen on my way home….. More coming soon. Promise.
It’s over. The 05-06 school has finished in a flurry of late-night spontaneity and ceremonial milestones. You’ll find below a collection of pictures commemorating the events. At the bottom of this post are two URLs that will allow you to browse through additional pictures, either individually or as a slide show. They include all my […]
My eyes are swollen. One more day to love them. One more day to wrap my hope around them. One more day to wonder if I said enough, did enough, loved well enough… Not even a whole day–a couple hours of ceremonial sterility, a few stollen moments in a crowd of well-wishers, febrile arms and […]
[See, this is the thanks I get for putting my trust in wise guys like Jeremy, aka. “Look-at-this-cute-face—could-you-possibly-distrust-someone-as-likable-as-me??” I gave him my password so he could install a nifty little doodad on my Xanga, and lo and behold, I was greeted this morning with a very un-me entry. FYI, if ever you hear me using […]
PHOENIX PHUNDAMENTALS I’m told there’s no time left for chit-chat, so I’m going to be succinct. Here, in random order, are my basic rules for living! Do with them as you please… Say please, thank you, and “how may I help you” as often as humanly possible. When in doubt, wash your hands. Seriously! The hardest choice […]
(Warning–this might get long!!) (Dangling carrot–there are pictures of soccer finals, our five-alarm fire drill, and last night’s sleepover at the end of this entry! ) There’s something about endings that pushes people to extremes. I won’t mention the imminent “ending” that is looming on all our horizons–mostly because Sunny might start to flail and […]
JUNIOR / SENIOR BANQUETIt was yet another memorable milestone at the end of this year… The girls were stunning–every single one of them! Some were the epitome of decorum… And others were…well…a tad less formal! Even self-professed unemotional stoics caught the romantic bug! It was my honor–as always–to attend with my very favorite cohort-in-crime…the lovely […]
THE FIRST ANNUALOLD HAGS vs. SNOTTY BRATSBOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP It was an epic battle resulting in The thrill of victory: …and the agony of “da feet”: (defeat…”da feet”…get it? As in, “the agony of defeat”. Please laugh on the dotted line: …………………………………… Is it just me, or am I channeling Mr. Bateman??) The rugrats came on […]
It was time for another spring party tonight…and time for another general soaking. Storch seniors looked lovely despite the ickiness. (NOTE: The alert readers among you might notice the honorary Storch senior who snuck into the photo gallery! I have only four words to say: cat–intersection–narnia–photo. Those in the know will know what I mean…) […]
I love (love, love, LOVE) Storch’s seniors. You haven’t really experienced them until they’ve played too many rounds of charades, eaten too many servings of tiramisu, and left WAY too many messages on their former dorm parents’ answering machine! Thankfully, Paul and Beth love them as much as I do and actually saved the […]
