"Dude, seriously?" I stared at Panda in disbelief. Another outfit? But I didn't remember hearing the sewing machine in the sewing room. But then, I haven't heard the sewing machine for awhile. You can barely tell our sewing room is even a sewing room anymore, with all the organizing and shredding Mom's been doing lately. …
(With my apologies to people who really know how to do math.) This is the note that started it all. (Teachers, beware: You never know how literally your students are going to take what you tell them.) When Mrs. Halley, my seventh and eighth grade English teacher, wrote the above note in 1971 or 72, …
You might remember... That ever since I was little, I have helped Mom paint. The first thing she painted after I came to live with her was the "Talavera Kitchen". That was when I discovered my natural artistic talent. It was also when I discovered the step stool, which enabled me to get into the …

Hi everyone, thanks for joining us! This is Foster with another special news report. Our roving reporter, Panda, has been on location with Mom at the Department of Motor Vehicles for most of the day. It looks like Mom and Panda are standing in line now. Let's listen in and see what he has to …
Okay, you've seen this photo before... It seems almost universal; we just don't think we will ever forget the people in our family photos. And most likely, we ourselves won't. But what about our descendants, when those of us who knew the subjects of the photos are no longer around? The man in the red …
"International what??" Panda was busy looking at Mom's laptop. I turned quickly when I heard him talking to himself as he scrolled attentively through various international maps and images. "International Panda Day!" he responded to my startled question, as he continued to scroll. "I think there should be an International Panda Day, don't you?""Is this …
"Dude, have you seen Mom's desk lately?" Foster's words woke me up from a sound sleep. We were in the front living room, where we had been helping Mom go through some family history information earlier in the day. "Not recently," I replied. "I can't see the top of the desk unless somebody puts me …
