Because we chose to host a big holiday party last weekend and because we accidentally, shamefully went a little overboard with Christmas gifts for our daughter and because we’re about to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest (if we can get there), and because we’re likely to be dumping money into not one but [...]
My computer karma continues to deteriorate, going from worse to unbearably awful. I can’t fathom what I did in another life that has caused me to suffer so in this one, but I must have been pretty bad with the abacus or something.
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 [...]
Revoke the tax-free status on all churches immediately. In fact, in face of this current crisis, I suggest they levy a hefty back tax—plus interest—for their endorsements in 2000 and 2004.
This Sunday, 33 pastors will be endorsing candidates from their pulpits and here’s what one of them has to say:
“I’m going to talk about [...]
I believe that a society is judged by how it treats the least among it. The elderly, the sick, the young. Someday, when history takes a look back at what kind of place the United States has become under George W. Bush and the Republican party (and, to an extent, the neutered and all-to-frequently ameobic [...]
For whatever reason, I received a catalog from “Birkis” today. Have you seen their shoes? They’re obviously the toothless bastard cousin of Crocs (which I loathe just slightly more than cotton jersey culotte pants). To look at them is to realize everything that is wrong with America, an offense that is underscored when mom, [...]
I woke up this morning in what I like to refer to as Soap Star Mode. Just like Hope Brady coming out of a coma, I had a smile on my face, last night’s lipstick matted on my lips, all my makeup in tact, hair full and bouncy with just enough muss to it. [...]
Ruby, like many three-year olds, is a creature of habit. Every time she wants to watch a video—which is only at breakfast, lunch, snack time (morning and afternoon), dinner, weekends and holidays—she wants to watch Pocahontas or Mulan. Whenever we let her watch a video—which is only at breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekends and holidays (snack [...]
