ESY – Extra Stupid, Why?
Extended School Year has started. That is the fancy IEP name for summer school, or camp, or whatever you want to call it. For Pearlsky it is at the same high school, usually some of the same staff. Remember that she has been in the district for seventeen years, there is nothing new here. At

Great weekend … then … wham!
A rare occurrence, I got away this weekend! Time with friends and it was wonderful. What could be better? Pearlsky was home and well taken care of. I started seeing a lot of emails coming from this blog, and noticed that many people were signing up for “new post” emails. Many as in a lot.

Hope I didn’t piss off their gods
It has been a week or so. I am getting pulled back into that hole. Trust me, this post does not scratch the surface. Pearlsky’s mom called last night. She wanted to tell me that David will be in town for a doctor’s appointment today. She was giving me about 12 hours notice. No, I

“Not the wiener thing” ~Ken Lilly
Judge Crater told me, under oath, he had no idea where the elusive blogger is. Jimmy Hoffa said if he told me he would have to have his friends kill me and bury me under Giant’s stadium. The Lindbergh baby didn’t say anything, but then he’s dead, so that could be why. D.B. Cooper gave

Like, as vs is
I am getting taken to task for some comments in a very recent post. I was in a discussion with one of Pearlsky’s therapists about having conversations with Pearlsky in the evenings. I said (both in the meeting and on this blog) … I talk very little. There is no conversation, that takes two. I
