Little clues were revealed along the way that provided insight into exactly how the characters were related to each other. I thought it would be interesting to apply a little genealogy to the relationships between several of the characters in the show. If you are someone who has not yet managed to finish watching this television series, and have somehow been able to avoid finding out … Continue reading →

Shopping With a Toddler

Have you ever lost sight of your toddler when you’re out and about? I’ve come across small children separated from their parents while shopping. When I do, I talk to the child to calm him down and then find the closest employee to facilitate the reunion. I figure an employee is in a better position to help.

She, on … Continue reading →

Lost Five Times Over

I am probably the only person in America who has yet to see the television show, Lost. I feel like I should either join a support group and start therapy immediately, or go crawl back under my rock.
