Behind the scenes with Tom's mom and James
Lisa writes: Tom wanted to shoot a video of his mother. He called in a pro. Is this what a gaffer does? Is James a gaffer now?

16 months old: Pickled cabbage at El Rinconcito

A man, a bird, and a tiny maniac past his bedtime
Lisa writes: The bird's name is Milo. We birdsat him for the month of July while his family was on vacation. We like him, and he LOVES Tom.
ECHO
Lisa writes: We figured out that we've been volunteering at ECHO (Ecumenical Community Helping Others) for five years now. It's really one of the funnest things we do -- we look forward to do every week. Sadly, James -- now very mobile -- is no longer a helpful or even neutral volunteer. He's more into unloading the bins than loading them. So he gets to go to bed and stay home with a babysitter. He's not upset about it, but most of the other volunteers are mad at us for robbing them of the office mascot.
