Get a Clue Sherlock

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

I’ve been reading Sherlock Holmes (sadly for the first time ever in my life). Of course, I’ve seen the old British episodes on TV, and everyone knows who Sherlock Holmes is and what he’s all about.

A Stupid Way to Break an Arm

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

The most traumatic experience of my childhood is also the silliest. I was about 8 years old when I walked out of the bathroom, donning only my superman underoos and a towel-cape pinned around my neck. My mission was to fly over the foot rail of my bed. In order to get momentum, I jumped [...]

The Vanishing Mouse

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
