BALL BOY

January 27, 2009

My son is obsessed with balls.  At about 10 months old, he discovered a basketball at daycare and it was soon obvious that balls were his preferred method of play.  He plays with other things, but the day always starts and ends with a ball.  I get him a new ball every chance I get [...]

THE END IS NIE

It is snowing again.

And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet
