Today's the day! Backpacks packed, lunch boxes filled and everyone out at the curb in time to meet the bus. Well, almost everyone.

My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.
Arthur's latest was published on August 6. Click here to read " Beware of phony anti-virus apps; they're really malware."

Backwoods Mom
There are some wonderful bloggers out there. Funny, wise, interesting...and one of the funniest, wisest and most interesting is Keri Riley, a backwoods mom in Ninilchik, Alaska where "I shuttle 8 kids around, fighting off moose, mosquitos and middle age."
In one posting she shares 20 words of wisdom to her teenagers. In another, she gives realistic advice to teenage girls. It's as hilarious as it is dead on the mark. Get to know the Backwoods Mom. She'll soon be one of your new online BFFs. Oh- and thanks to Sara Cohen for introducing me to her!
Whatcha Eatin'?
Peaches, plums, and nectarines (all currently in season and on sale) make a delectable fruit cobbler that's so easy because it's sweetened with currant jelly and topped with refrigerated flaky biscuits.
