Overheard at our house this evening:
Kid: “Personal Reflection??!!! I hate that! I have to do that at school, but I don’t have personal reflections at home.”
Me: “Kid, you are driving me to drink.”
Kid: “Then drink already! Sheesh.”
And my personal favorite, an email from IZ:
Subject: Lovely Homework.
Of course, if he were attending private school it wouldn’t be any better. . .
I can just see the questions. . .
Q:”How do you think Jesus felt when he was crucified?” or
Q:”Since Jesus was God, why did he allow himself to be put to death?”
Of course, I can just see the answers:
A: He felt bad.
A: He wasn’t and he didn’t.
Ok, in all fairness, that last answer was mine. The kid’s answer would probably have been shouted from the other room:Â “Ah, MOM! You didn’t tell me that Jesus was GOD. Now I have to redo my math homework!”

IZ: standing in the kitchen banging the the back of the espresso cup to empty the grounds. “Hmmmm. . .”
Me:Â Sitting across the room clutching my head in my hands. “UGH. . . my head!”
IZ: Bang, Bang, Bang.
Me: “Ugh, Ugh, Ugh.”
IZ: Bang.
Me: “Ugh.”
IZ: “Hmm. Maybe correlation does equate cause and effect.”

If you’ve been checking in on Evidently you’ve been seeing some strange
happenings. One minute a site’s here and the next it is
gone.
My apologies!
Evidently was hacked – seriously.
Between the barrage of porn and gambling advertising – I had no choice
but to take the server down and reconstitute Evidently onto a different
platform.
Wende was none too pleased… but she’ll be back from
her hiatus soon – and I’m sure she’ll have a lot to say about spammers,
pornographers, gamblers, and life in general.
Meanwhile, please forgive if this site keeps coming live and going down – just getting the building blocks in place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The task you’ll be faced with this week
reminds me of what Australian TV personality Steve Irwin did a few weeks
ago. No, you won’t have to literally stand next to a 13-foot crocodile and
feed it a hunk of meat by hand while cradling a baby in your other arm.
But you may very well have to be fierce and tender at the same time, or
wild and protective, or daring and loving.
Great. Just great. What’s next?
