We’ve had quite a bit of angst here in Casa Yak these last few days. My high schooler is learning about “imprinting” in her freshman Biology class. Her teacher brought in newborn goslings for the students to bond with. The experiment was to show how the goslings would imprint on the girl who spent theRead more about Our gosling saga…[…]
The weather is finally warming up here in the Northeast, and I’m getting that itch to dig out from under the clutter that has accumulated over the Winter. Little piles of mail here and there. Catalogs I’ve been meaning to look through. Magazines that I haven’t quite had the time to read. Before you knowRead more about Spring Cleaning[…]
…growing up fast.
A couple of weeks ago, I was freaked out by the discovery of wasp nests in my attic. Fortunately, I had them taken care of before they became active for the season.

Today, I purchased Falling Up for her. As I took it from the shelf–thinking to myself, “When the heck am I ever goingRead more about Some wisdom from Shel Silverstein[…]
While watching TV this afternoon, we saw a commercial featuring the Burger King Guy. My 7-year-old shuddered as she watched, and asked, “Why do they have to make him so creepy?” Hey little girl…you want fries with that? Heh heh heh… I wish I knew the answer to that question, because the kid has aRead more about Creepy corporate logos[…]
We had our annual “Spring Tune-Up” done for the central air conditioning, and the tech found evidence of some “invaders” in the attic. Right where some pipes meet the roofline, there’s a gap, and yellow jackets or wasps have been coming in and setting up shop. Last summer, we found an occasional wasp in myRead more about Invasion[…]
