...And now for a little something I like to call....
Shtuff.
Contained here on this page are things that come from this little mind of mine: stories, song lyrics, travelogues, whatever.

Phoebe's Writing
First Grade
Collaborations
Ellen and Phoebe collaborated on a short children's book which would make a nice board book called Rabbit's New Friend. I can't figure out a format that everyone can see in their browsers and still keep them together, so I'll have to do them one page at a time.
Stories
As my friends will tell you, I tend to babble. The world is my stage, but the people aren't actors as Shakespeare believes. They're an audience for people like myself who need to express ourselves in bizarre ways to make our friends feel better. In this case, I have been known on occasion to bastardize a classic fairy tale or two to cheer up a friend in need.
Whatever...
Ask any of my friends, and they'll tell you also that I'm a bit odd.
