Fehmeen and I have a somewhat spotty history when it comes to dealing with insects. As previously chronicled in this very blog, we have a tendency to allow an irrational fear of our eight-legged friends to influence our occasional interactions with them. Does anyone remember the Sunnyvale Cockroach Incident when I fell flat on my [...]

What Happened to Nani

Emma could tell this story in only eight words. By doing so, h0wever, she would most likely omit some of the more hilarious details of this sordid tale. I will use her exact verbiage to sum-up each part of the narrative. Fehmeen, Emma, and I picked up Maheen (Emma’s Nani) in the East Bay for [...]
Emma Being Emma

One thing you should know about Fehmeen is that she doesn’t like messes. That’s not exactly accurate. She hates, despises, and loathes a mess. So you could only imagine what was going through her mind when she witnessed Emma accidentally spilling some of her chocolate milk on our dresser the other night. At this point [...]

I had just completed my -ahem- daily doody last night when who other than Emma should saunter into the bathroom. She deftly balanced the two books she was carrying – Grover and the Monster at the End of the Book and Good Egg — upon the arm of my adjacent wheelchair and proceeded to climb [...]

Back in the early sixties, my dad was a student at Westmoor High School in Daly City. One evening during the school year, my dad and his friend, Piggy, were attending a dance in the gym. Taking a break from doing the Hully Gully and the Mashed Potato, the two friends were hanging out in [...]

As Close As We’re Gonna Get

Barring a change of heart by Emma, which would prompt a hopefully tear-free return visit to the Hillsdale Mall Santa in the remaining fourteen shopping days before Christmas, it appears that this photo, taken moments after the Big Guy’s arrival by helicopter at the San Carlos Airport, is as close as we’re gonna get this [...]
