There are lots of blogs out there kept by moms who chronicle their lives as mothers (and cooks, cleaners, chauffeurs, police, ministers of home affairs etc). I read Karen’s regularly and thoroughly enjoy her regaling us with her tales of her two…

When Bad People Win

28.01.08 No Comments

All of us have found ourselves bellyaching about people who do bad things and seem to get away scot-free. Lousy drivers, people who cut queues, murderers, crooked politicians—they’re everywhere, messing with practically everything. We lament about how we’d rather be in another…

Neither of us remember being this sick for this long. Sneezing, runny noses, blocked noses, going deaf, fevers, headaches, body aches, chest-wracking coughs—for close to three blinking weeks. Even Brandon caught something and had a night of prolonged high fever. He’s fine…
