I screwed up my geekly wife duties. I preordered the Star Wars DVDs from Amazon but chose free shipping, and therefore while all of Esteban’s friends were furtively stroking their Star Wards DVDs in darkened rooms, ours was in a warehouse somewhere in Kentucky. Each day, Esteban would ask ‘Maybe we’re getting the DVDs today. […]

I’m in a weird cooking mood, undoubtedly stirred up by the cooler temperatures. Last week, I bought two teensy eggplants at the farmer’s market, for no reason other than the fact that they looked really cute. They were just so’ wee! And also, I sort of love the way eggplants look. They are a very […]

Dear John Kerry, I like you, ok? I know that you’re essentially running on the “I’m not Bush” campaign and truth be known, I voted for primal scream therapy enthusiast Howard Dean in the Wisconsin primary, but by then, the nomination had already been thrust into your surprised hands like a hot potato. But still. […]

Over the weekend, I took my little brother Jonathon to my stylist Stacy to get a cool Jimmy Fallon haircut and eradicate the horrid Costcutters ‘Gee, Wally, maybe we should tell Mom about Whitey knocking over that liquor store’ bowl cut. He’s all stoked, especially when he walked in and Stacy looked at him and […]

At work, the file cabinets have been known to contain strange and magical and sometimes terrifying surprises, mostly related to the culinary realm. I suspect that a small nomadic tribe could subsist solely from what they could forage from the maze of filing low filing cabinets (which often resemble a Vegas buffet, complete with grazers […]

So, boobs. You know how much we all love them. If it weren’t for boobs, I would lose half my material (not to mention, half my ballast). I had a pretty serious breast cancer scare when I was 26 years old. One of my high school classmates died of breast cancer during that same year, […]

It’s fall. It’s definitely fall. I don’t care that we’ve had the first warm stretch since 2003 and I don’t care that I had a blissful prolonged float in the pool (which is rather rare because in order to be wet and also above the warm water without getting too cold, the air temperature must […]

They’re opening a Krispy Kreme in my town. Correction: they’re opening a Krispy Kreme six blocks from where I work. I will pass it every morning and twice if I leave my office for lunch and then probably again when I go home at night. Whenever I go to Barnes and Noble, donut donut donut. […]
