Wife Like Me

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!This is Colin.  Bethany and I have spent the last two hours watching John McWhorter on CSPAN.  He’s an elitist New York liberal, straight out of Berkeley, but a moderate one–and more than anything I like moderates, people who […]

Today was a red-letter day: we found an endocrinologist who Colin likes!  Dr. Griffiths is an older fellow who works in an office right next to St. Vincent's Hospital.  He's originally from South Africa, so he has a charming accent, and he has the also charming trait of listening to Colin when he tells him […]

I like to watch Mister Roger's Neighborhood.  My opinion of Mr. Rogers and his show borders on sacred to me and it offends me to see or hear people make fun of him or insinuate anything inappropriate about it.  I watched the show on TV when I was a little girl, and now it's nostalgically integrated into my life as the cue […]

Colin told me this morning that Luciano Pavarotti died.  I feel like there's a little, but important, piece of my world missing.  I never saw him in concert, not even on TV except for the occasional glimpse of a PBS special.  But I've heard him sing, and that has made a difference to my appreciation of […]

We were invited to the Sherwoods' house tonight for FHE/dinner and we really had a great time.  The Sherwoods are a couple in our ward here in North Little Rock.  They also had the Dewalls (another couple in our ward) over and we all got to chat and get to know each other a little […]

This morning I went with a friend to see Dr. Frazier at Absolute Health, which reminded me that I've never blogged about Dr. Frazier! 
Dr. Frazier is our wonderful chiropractor.  He's helped us with a myriad of health problems.  He's the one who first figured out that Colin doesn't have normal diabetes (when Colin was […]

Today is my dad's 54th birthday.  Dad is one of those people who never looks much older.  When he was in his 30s, people still thought he was a teenager sometimes.  He taught at a university and sometimes his "kids" looked a lot older than he was.  Now that he has some gray in his […]

I was tempted to call this post "My Sister, Ned," because we call her Ned in our family.  Emily even calls herself Ned on occasion.  She's not gay, nor manly at all.  In fact, she's very feminine.  Ned is creative, and in keeping with her creativity she encouraged creative nicknames.  We went from Emily to […]

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  This morning Colin left the house before I was fully awake (he was a Merit Badge Counselor at a Boy Scout Pow Wow), but I was ready for him when he got home.  Lucky me!  He forgot to wear green and I wore his green shirt, so I pinched him!  […]
