To an outsider, especially one without a big, loud and proud family, visiting the Lombardi household for Sunday dinner must have been a strange experience. The children were allowed to, almost encouraged to run riot around the place. They would run around their Nonna's home and treat it like their own assualt course. Jumping over and onto couches, rolling and crawling under tables and sneaking up on unsuspecting family members to attack-cuddle and scare them. Really, they were doing anything they could to be little menaces, without actually hurting anyone or damaging anything deliberately.

Enlistiasis
The Arts Committee meeting had been productive. Dana checked his notes on the legal pad in front of him. All the items scheduled for discussion had been addressed and each had a set of initials beside it, indicating the member that particular project had been assigned to. Over half of the items bore the initials "DOC".

Residrool
We've all done it. Spit happens. We fall asleep and there it is. A mouth slightly ajar (no pun intended) releases a little spillover of saliva for us to discover on the pillow, with some embarrassment. However, my most notorious episodes of residrool were in the classroom, not in bed.

The Path from Housetracization to Redemption
There was once a country that found its governing congressional body heavily split along party lines. It was a phenomenon that began when a small group embarked on an audacious quest to "housetracize" the Congressional body.
