Madeline L’Engle

Madeline L’Engle has died at the age of 88.

A Wrinkle In Time was one of my go-to books as a kid, I read it over and over. Despite my notable memory problems, I remember large chunks of the book. I still find the explanation of a tesseract, as the ends of cloth meeting one another, incomparably useful.

Madeline L’Engle brought me wonderful characters, extraordinary ideas, and concepts of science and philosophy that didn’t talk down to a young mind. To me, she will live forever.

Friday Catblogging: Return of Kittenblogging

I was cleaning my files and I found this beauty from January of ’06 (which is about when I figured out how to upload photos from my new camera). My little darlings would have been 3 months old in this shot. Ah, memories. Ain’t they cuties?

This photo has never appeared on the site. There were so many cute kitten pictures from around this age, it didn’t make the cut.

So here it is!

Respiratory Language Fun

If you have respiratory problems and are having trouble breathing…

So…there are people with respiratory problems who don’t have trouble breathing?
