As I explain in “My Son Is A Beaky Eater”, Piper showing any interest in human food is rare. We never have cereal in the house but a recent three-week long bout of bronchitis for both myself and my husband had us looking for something we could have without much…
Have you seen the documentary, Free Solo, about rock climber Alex Honnold’s quest to perform the first-ever free solo climb of a route on El Capitan (“El Cap”) in Yosemite National Park? I absolutely loved it and watched it several times. What Alex did is truly remarkable. Piper, too, has…
