Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
When my youngest daughter was born, I didn't know if I'd get to keep her. She arrived three months early, weighing in at just over two pounds, and I scrapped her intended middle name in favor of "Grace"--if she stayed with us, it would be entirely a matter of Grace. In her three months … Continue reading Amazing Grace, how sweet the SOUNDS
I was rummaging through some old notebooks today, trying to find the lyrics to a song we loved as kids–”If everybody had a tail and chose its shape and size“… What I found instead was a pair of pages written about a decade ago, reflecting on the different personalities with which I seemed to write … Continue reading Wearing a Party-Tail
(If you didn't guess from the title, there's some adult-ish content here... Just so you know.) You've no doubt already gathered that I get a kick out of teasing my husband about his age. He's wonderfully young at heart (and wonderfully good-humored about my endless ribbing)--and given that he was in college when I was … Continue reading Adventures of The Spermudgeon & The Scribbler

Our son Christian is NOT a "Chris." He doesn't even acknowledge "Chris" as a version of his name--doesn't respond to it at all. I had to explain that to his first T-ball coach (not because I'm a fussy mom who insists on a full name--in fact, I had assumed when I named him that he … Continue reading A worm by any other name would be… a Hobbit
Hi, my name is Kana, and I'm a stats-aholic. I admit it. I look at my blog stats a lot. It's the feel-good-fix for which I don't want to go to Anonymous meetings. Unlike alcohol (for which I DO go to meetings), my stats addiction doesn't turn me Stupid. (At least, I don't think it … Continue reading Confessions of a Statistics Slut
