Can you keep one? ;)

My husband calls me a "squirrel" because everywhere I go, I will collect little bits of food, whether candy or protein bars or an uneaten bun from the catering table, and wrap it up in a napkin and keep it in my purse for later. Sometimes it resurfaces weeks later.

Every moment with Robin Williams was interesting and funny. I can't really separate them out, because he made every second with him fascinating and delightful and entertaining. He was probably the funniest person I've ever met, but also one of the kindest and most generous. And I am incredibly saddened by his loss.

Aw! How sweet. Yes, my parents also chose it for the meaning of "wonderful." It's also the root of the word miracle, and it's the name of a star - I think it's a red giant variable, but I might be wrong. And it was the name of a great russian actress, Mira Rostova.

Oh, we had so many!

My father is such a wonderful father.

We did love watching old Star Trek re-runs together. Just talking with him was great. Listening to him play the piano or sing his favorite Neopolitan songs was always beautiful. But just spending time together as a family, so many times were special, it wasn't like we rarely saw him, we saw him when he wasn't working. I loved Christmas mornings, when he would have to construct an incredibly complicated toy, he spent hours on the floor building these palaces of childhood imagination - I'm just so grateful for everything he's ever done for me.

It's mamahuhuda. Which means "so so" or "half-horse, half-tiger."
