It's 7:55 in the morning. Sunday. Since getting out of bed, I've taken Jeter out, sorted laundry and started a load in the wash, made cupcakes (from a box), waffles (from scratch) and changed the sheets. Is this normal? I mean, on my day "off?" As the cupcakes cool and the laundry spins, I read … Continue reading A Sunday kind of love

The profoundness of This is Us
As is usual for me and television, I'm more than a little late to the game on one of the buzziest new series, This is Us. I needed something to follow an embarrassing number of binge watched seasons of Project Runway and was pleased to see that TiU was available on Hulu. A single episode … Continue reading The profoundness of This is Us
Who are you?
Yeah, you. My reader. It's been more than 7 years, 2 domains and a divorce since DelSo was born. Over the years I've shared a lot of my life and self here, in print.

After much experimentation with my constantly changing skin (Is it dry? Sensitive? Aging? All of the above?), I've gathered together a collection of facial cleansers that feel like they're working out ok for me. It's a mix of creams and lotions,* many of which come from Origins, but there's some Philosophy and Bliss thrown in, … Continue reading Face wash (is not a) game
My home is not broken
I attended a meeting recently and was struck to hear a colleague describe a student's home as being "broken." Of course, my reaction is personal and I'm probably just being hypersensitive, but it really bothered me, particularly since it was offered as an explanation for all of a particular child's academic, social and personal issues. … Continue reading My home is not broken
Deutschland on the Hudson
Last week I was lucky enough to host my Uncle and Aunt. They were touring New England in that wonderful way that tourists seem to do, but most Americans don't, visiting cities and sites scattered around multiple states and racking up more than 2500 miles on their rental car. Because of my crazy schedule, we … Continue reading Deutschland on the Hudson
