Me: I don’t get the difference between figure skating and ice dancing.
Sam: Well, figure skating is smooth with a series of elements that have to be shown, with dramatic air-type things and turns and jumps and stuff. The ice dancing is more dancey, if you will, with dance moves and lots of those close choppy [...]
Ruby had already buckled herself into her car seat when she realized she’d forgotten the drawings for her teacher. I ignored the urge to say, too bad, kid. We’re late. Chalk it up to a lesson learned about having your shit together. (God, how I love my fantasy life.) Instead I channeled June Cleaver, set [...]
Sam and I are sitting 15 feet away from each other sending emails and here is what he sends me:
Could be a shank on a meat hook in a slaughterhouse, could be the leg of a cyclist. I know he wants me to think it’s his leg, but I also know he could never get [...]
Dooce started it. Well, she claims it started on Facebook but I haven’t seen it there. Or at least, I haven’t been tagged 713 times like on the 25 Things About Me meme. So, I’m blaming Dooce. If you’re pissed about it, talk to her. This one is about Sam and me.

I got my laptop back on Thursday night, complete with a new hard [...]
I’m not a huge fan of Keith Olbermann. At one time I was; I found his sharp closing comments to be a welcome relief from a media that was busy giving Bush and Cheney a collective suck-off. I liked that he railed against the administration and their policies when it was so dangerous to do [...]
I drove Ruby to school on Tuesday morning just like I do every Tuesday morning and as I turned from North Park Way onto 32nd Street, I saw these two angels standing on a corner.
They were huddled together beneath their umbrella in what had to be the first real rain storm we’ve had in San [...]
“Do you want to do it?”
“I don’t know. Do you want to do it?”
“Sure. If you do.”
“Yeah, I guess. I mean, if you think you’re not gonna fall asleep in the middle.”
“Please! I’m not going to fall asleep. I’ll go get the splitter.”
And that’s where you would have found us, lying in bed with my [...]
