[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]…when all through the condo, not a creature was stirring. Not even Rajon Rondo. Because he doesn’t live here. Never bothers to visit (rude). Nick, Clark and I enjoyed an absolutely lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, traveling a bit north and a…

Today: Times, they are a-changin’.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the first time since 1982, I will not be waking up at my parents’ house on Christmas morning. I will not be making a holy racket at 5:45 AM in an attempt to wake my three siblings a bit early. I won’t…

Today: Late to my own funeral.

Today: Who are you? Who, who, who, who?
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This post is neither about CSI, nor owls. It’s about genealogy. Prepare to be bored amazed. On Saturday night, as I tried to quell my pre-race jitters, I flipped through the channels on our hotel television to one of the few English-language programs…

Today: Make way for gooselings… goslings, whatever.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I was home visiting my parents a few weeks ago and saw these little guys hanging out in a neighbor’s yard. I made an illegal u-turn (don’t tell) and creeped onto the property to take this photo. Then I remembered how scary Canadian…
