About once a week Polina experiences a difficult bowel movement.
“It’s too hard,” she says matter of factly and under some duress. Then she puts her hand on top of my head and presses down. I lower my head so we are forehead to forehead, and we go through this together, as much as two people can go through this together. More
Thank you so much for following me on this journey. I wish you a very happy 2016. May all the bad things in 2015 be in the past, and may the future be one of promise and fulfillment. That’s my wish anyway.

Christmas is soon upon us, and I can’t wait for it to be even sooner this year. Ever since I told Polina about Christmas and, more specifically, Santa Claus, I’ve been hearing almost daily, multiple times per day, “I want Santa.” “Santa is coming. He’s going to put presents under the Christmas tree.” “I want Christmas.” And variations thereof. Every day Polina reminds me of Christmas, and I couldn’t be happier that she loves the holiday as much as I do. More
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to thank the readers that have followed me and, even better, read my posts. I started this site not necessarily to make “friends” or “followers.” I think both are great, but they are not the primary reason why I began writing. I began writing because I was bursting with a desire to write. For about a year, I didn’t even tell anyone about my website. I did have a desire to connect, but I was too shy to do any broadcasting. Somehow a few people found me, none of whom I knew previously, and began following me. That gave me a huge boost in confidence. So to you readers, I say, thank you..
The post I am writing has been on my mind for the better part of a year. It comes from the heart because above all, I believe in being genuine.
Yesterday was Peter’s 50th birthday, and what proper way than to celebrate it with a windstorm?
