PROMPTuesday #5: It’s All in the Tone

First of all, let me say, thanks. Your participation in PROMPTuesdays has been inspirational, fun, heartbreaking, thought-provoking and motivational. Just as good writing should be. And I appreciate it.   I also hope to appeal to the lurkers and encourage you to submit something for PROMPTuesdays. There’s so judgment here and we’d all love to…Continue Reading

Supa Fly Park

Does anyone know of a good park in San Diego with slides and see saws (do they not make those anymore? are we THAT afraid of injury and liability these days?), clean bathrooms nearby and non-be-dog-pooped grass?   Would also like play structures appropriate for 2-, 4-, and 5-year-olds.

Butch

Toots is obsessed with Scooby Doo and this morning looked up from her Doo coloring book to tell me she wants to be Daphne next Halloween.   “Great!” I say. That should be easy: mini skirt, boob inserts, bouffant wig. I should find that all in Party City’s “Appropriate for 5-Year-Olds” aisle.   Then Toots…Continue Reading

Fine Fettle?

I just got an e-mail from a colleague which began, “Hi, hope all is in fine fettle.”   Is that a thing?   I haven’t Googled it yet, but I don’t think that’s a thing.
