Yes, I’m taking liberties with Sheila’s kangaroo nature; her transformations are supposed to take place only in the house. However, we’ve already had her basketball jump-shots “explained” a bit, so I’m going to go with the idea that Shee really[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It looks like our girls have attracted some undue attention from a minority opinion, and a vocal one at that. Here’s hoping that he doesn’t get Sheila upset; she can be very defensive of her friends. (That’s called “building suspense,”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Strangely, the first part of this conversation came about because a company that I was working for sponsored a women’s golf tournament, and this juicy tidbit of physiology and golf balls floated into my world. There was no way that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This one pushes the PG envelope just a bit, but having overheard this conversation in a local branch of a national sporting goods store (and, somehow, managing to avoid howling with laughter at the time), I simply could not resist[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
