Thursday was Cal’s 12th birthday. Today he is having 4 buddies over for a sleepover. He is outside making water balloons as we speak. He is a cutie and will always be a needy, cuddly but wonderfully funny and ironic teddy bear. I think Cal enjoys his birthday as much as anyone. Loves being the […]
A Study in Contrast
Yesterday was Mother’s Day in Argentina. Several years ago I wrote about the Argentine version in this post. It was also GM’s birthday so while it was Mother’s Day, I couldn’t expect GM to cook his own birthday dinner and make his own birthday cake. Although I spent quite a bit of yesterday in the […]
Osa’s Photo Shoot

Tevez
He is as dumb as a brick. But he is sweet, attentive, loving and lovable and as you can see, beautiful. He is also hopelessly devoted to his nutjob of a mom. What is not to love?
Who is Lonny, by the way?
In the corner of the blogsphere known as Homedesignland there was a party yesterday. It was a coming out party for a new on-line magazine called Lonny. Its been a tough year for print media and an especially tough one in the world of “shelter” magazines. So the launch of Lonny by several Domino alums […]
