The Damsel has debated all day about whether to post about this. If you are a long-time reader of the Old School, you may recall the Damsel has mentioned the family dog, calling him “The Dog-Shaped Horse” because he’s so big. He’s been the most exasperating, loving, crazy, huge, wonderful pet this family’s ever had. [...]

The Damsel posted this last Thanksgiving, and this year she’d like to just say it again, especially for the many new students who’ve enrolled in the Old School since last year.

Here he sits waiting for one of their many performances to begin. It will probably also help to know that he is the [...]
The Damsel has a little secret. In her other life, she pecks away at fiction writing–and has done so for quite some time. You might even say she’s a tad obsessed with it. Anyone observing the tracks of her sliding windows will quickly see her obsession isn’t deep cleaning. *ahem. Today she got some news [...]

The Damsel attended the Casual Bloggers’ Conference this weekend. While she was there she was fascinated, interested, anxious, terrified, curious, thirsty, jealous, touched and amused.

The Damsel would like to apologize for not announcing ahead of time about spring break at the Old School. She kept hoping a miracle would happen and a spontaneous clone would form of herself. This did not happen. Sprog #3 got married. It happened! No one died! First we had this: Which became this: Weddings [...]
