Luc is sitting on a skateboard, rolling through the yurt, la la la, thinking about whatever Luc thinks about while idling on a skateboard.
Sophie comes along and lays down in front of him. “I’ll be the road kill.” She sticks out of her tongue, making a grunting “I’m dead” sound.
Luc, not missing [...]
Luc is fascinated by war games. Playing “army men” with a thousand little people, animals, aliens, and monsters, plus setting up massive bunkers and fortresses out of blocks and legos and castles, endlessly working out battle strategies and outcomes. “Look at my line up!” he says. “Who do you think will win?” is his favorite [...]
As you may know, we watched all the Harry Potter movies over the holidays. Then we watched them again when I was sick a week later. Which led, of course, to the books, or, to be precise, the audiobooks. And I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover that audible.com does not have the [...]
Found this picture on the camera from last fall, the kids and one of their best friends, in get-ups they constructed for the express purpose of hunting the living dead.
I wouldn’t want to be a zombie with this crew hunting me. They look bad ass.
Luc, 6, went to his very first aikido class today, and oh my goodness, I felt so proud! I was there with six other moms of little boys, cooing and tittering at every little boy’s adorable move, covering our grins behind hands, trying to embarrass our children, really, I hardly recognized myself. It would have [...]
What we’re doing right now:
Here’s the recipe from Post Punk Kitchen, a site I ran across on google this morning while looking for gingerbread people options. The cookies are coming out fabulously, nice and spicy with a chewy, crispy texture. Yum, yum, nom, nom. They’re vegan, too, bonus [...]
Last week at the library, we checked the first Harry Potter movie on a lark. I had read the first book to the kids last year (I read all the books when they were coming out, adored them) and Luc has the Lego Harry Potter game on the ipad, so they were familiar with the [...]
Paul made this image while doing a photoshop tutorial. He really has captured some essential Luc-ness I think. Luc himself named the image, identified the flaming werewolf sword as such, and promptly made up an elaborate story for it.
I never knew ninjas wore crocs, did you?
Yesterday I walked by Luc spread out on the bed with a bunch of animal, dinosaur, and fish books, turning the pages in some kind of methodical search.
“Watcha doing?” I said, balancing a mountain of laundry with the skill of a circus performer.
“Well, I’m testing my hypothesis,” he said, only he pronounced it [...]
The weather is fantastic this week, 70 degrees and fall colors everywhere. The last few weeks have been cold, cold—I’m not ready for cold! But not today, today it is perfect.
But I know we’re in the last days of warmth, over half the trees have lost their leaves. But still, there is so much [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.tags
