Who’s the writer?
I find it funny – though not the least bit surprising – that my wife, who won’t so much as let me read the papers she writes for school, has finally started an anonymous blog, and in the few posts she’s written so far, expresses more honesty and raw emotion than I have in my
What I did this weekend, in between cleaning up vomit and watching football; all three things completely unrelated. Stomach viruses suck! As do collard greens and rice in a pool of watery bile, your son’s foot covered up to his ankle. Pink yogurt and chunks of undigested oatmeal aren’t too hot, either. Wondering if that

The football season couldn’t have been better timed, what with the Mets doing their best impersonation of Justin Guarini’s entertainment “career.” Please, please, please give me
Franklin Delano Roosevelt State Park turned out to be a perfect place for an extended family picnic and Saturday’s weather couldn’t have been better for it. Considering I haven’t been to the gym in over a month now, I should have known better than to jump into a game of two-hand touch without stretching at
Arkansan Wesley Clark to Plug Patriots So Wesley Clark, good old Southern boy that he is, is a…Patriots fan? As in the New England Patriots? And this only a few days after Madonna endorses him for President? Can you spell loser? C-L-A-R-K.
