It has been awhile since I’ve conducted any science experiments as part of Asa’s homeschooling. However, thanks to a conversation between Mom and Dad, I have the perfect hypothesis to explore! In a rare state of optimism, over the rainy weekend Dad decided to spread some grass seeds in the backyard, in an attempt to […]
Asa here. While Chuck Billy bemoans the fact social distancing is preventing us from seeing people, you know who we’ve been seeing a lot of lately? Squirrels! So today I’d like to share with you some fun facts about our nutty neighbors. The name squirrel has its origins in Greek, who called the animal skiouros, which […]
Asa, sit. We need to have a little talk. No! don’t sit there! That’s exactly why we’re having this conversation! It has become increasingly difficult for me to ignore your lack of spatial awareness. Now I take some of the blame here. I admit I’ve been remiss in my responsibilities homeschooling you in recent years. […]
Today is Patriots’ Day. A state holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War, which took place on April 19, 1775. Throughout the day today in Lexington and Concord there will be reenactments of this epic battle. But for those of […]
Wow, who would have guessed one errand could trigger such a roller coaster ride of emotions! Oh, it’s me Asa. Recently Dad took me to the Subaru dealership, but never told me the purpose for our errand. Instead, Dad just sat me down in the waiting room and put a Barkley “Driving Lesson” brochure in […]
With subfreezing temperatures for days and snow piling up, Asa and I are losing our minds stuck indoors. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own paws, and find a game we can play inside. A game that’s is mentally stimulating, burns energy, but won’t make Mom worry that we’ll bring the house […]
Ok, I admit it, I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to homeschooling Asa. So he may have forgotten a lesson or two. However, I never realized how out of touch he was getting with his inner Wolf until he insisted on bringing his squeaky toy on a hike with us! It didn’t even […]

Once again I couldn’t help but overhear Mom and a friend talking about their New Year’s Resolutions. They talked about dieting, exercising, and being more positive in the year ahead. Well those are all admirable goals, but once again humans are approaching this all wrong. They don’t need to follow new diet trends, buy an expensive […]
The safety of my family depends on a squeaky toy! Ok I have to admit Asa’s performance review last week was a real eye opener. What a slacker! Asa actually thinks that getting us to play and have fun is somehow contributing to the wellbeing of the family. Nowhere in that interview does he mention his […]
