Read excerpt
It’s fall and the weather is getting coooler, so let’s get out and enjoy some free yet fun things to do, and maybe meet new people, too. Oct. 2 — South Pasadena: Head to the South Pasadena Library to enjoy the Janus Film Club, which features monthly Friday night screenings of art house classics. This month’s selection is the 1960 French horror classic film “Eyes Without A Face.” The movie starts at 7 p.m. in the library’s community room, followed by a brief discussion. No reservations needed. 11
Frumpy Mom: Lying is bad, so don’t do it. Except sometimes. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s important lesson for you: Never, ever tell a lie. Lying is bad. It’s immoral. It’s sinful. And bad for your mental health. And —- even more importantly — you’ll forget you told an untruth and get busted. That’s embarrassing. (Not that it’s ever happened to me.) Remember that George Washington said he could not tell a lie. But then, that whole story was a lie. Really. Truly. Invented by his first biographer to flesh out the story. And, really, sometimes you do have to prevaricate a bi
Frumpy Mom: Please. I beg you. Let me see my electric bill. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I did something completely crazy today. I tried to see my electric bill, so I could pay it. I knew the bill would be ridiculously high, due to the hot weather and the cost of running my air conditioning.

As many people remember, once upon a time we used to get our electric bills delivered to a metallic holder a

Frumpy Mom: When you get stuck in quicksand and your kids just laugh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’d always wanted to visit the beautiful Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo reservation in Arizona, which contains ruins of ancient cliff dwellings. But you must go accompanied by a Navajo guide, to make sure the ruins aren’t vandalized. On one of our most memorable summer vacations as a family, in 2007, I’d hired a guide online and was looking forward to meeting him. When we arrived in Chinle — the only town nearby on the Navajo reservation — a massive thunderstorm was underway. The kind we never s
