Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
I used to be strong and brave, dauntless even. Very few things in life scared me and if someone corrected me, I thanked them for the knowledge (after corroborating that in fact they were correct). I used to write long poems, ballads and odes, testaments to my teenage angst and bewilderment. I don’t know when […]
One of my friends came to the city this fine 4th of July weekend. They put her up in the downtown Fairmont Olympic Hotel, right in the middle of all the action. I was pleasantly surprised to learn two things: #1 The hotel was the original site of the University of Washington and #2 That […]
After 11 years in the Pacific Northwest, I can count with my fingers how many times I have had breakfast foods in Seattle, mostly because it is only a request I get from the tourists. For some reason brunch is a very popular thing to do while on vacation. Must be because a lot of […]
As one of my friends put it, June was a month full of wake up calls for Puerto Rico. Everything happened!

A space to grow, To read, To learn. A spot to rest, To lay my head and heal. To curl up with a book and dream of unsung heroes. The joy of visiting far away lands, Of imagining fantastic worlds and people can never be surpassed. Not even when they bring to life the characters […]
After a drought of wedding and baby announcements, life is back at it again. (I call it Wave 3.) With a wedding on Sunday July 3rd, one in December and another one in April/May and three pregnancy announcements, my social calendar is filling up with events and a bit of anxiety. However, unlike before, this […]
I have written many times about how we wanted to adopt Zach, and how well he was doing. Short of checking he has a neurological issue, which can cause thousands, we have seen him change his demeanor quickly in the last couple of weeks. He doesn’t play the games he used to play; wakes up […]
