Expedition: Failed
Alas, my push for the Units ended in dismal failure this night, as I arrived moments after the turnback time. My adventurer’s spirit is tempered only by my discipline, so I turned back to my basecamp at Reston. Tomorrow at first light I will make another attempt on the summit of the larger unit....

Here we go again
The Tiny Fun Tree is showing some new growth. I’m not sure if I’ve posted about it before, but Melissa received this little tree at the ball she attended for school a couple months ago. (So far, the only result had been yet another partially used bag of potting soil I’ll eventually bequeath to...

We’re back, and out of breath
We returned to our toasty fun house last night after a holiday trip with stops in four states, and it was clear that we’d lost some of the cardiovascular edge that five flights of stairs can hone. There are now numerous updates and additions to the TFH, not the least of which is my...

Christmas-time at the Tiny Fun House
Our stockings have been hung by our secret fireplace, and we’ve collected our holiday greetings along our miniscule mantle. Just when it seems to be time for a long winter’s nap, however, I had to hop an early morning cab to the airport. Melissa left yesterday, so the TFH will be all by itself...
