Firsts of Spring
Usually, coming within inches of colliding with the car in front of me is not funny. Today it was very funny, because I almost slammed into this:
I can imagine the conversation afterward. I was distracted, officer. Would you be able to focus if you were behind a Dodge Anal? Or a Chrysler DP? What about [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: It Goes To Eleven Edition
This Misbehaving Tuesday has been WILD. It started at breakfast, when I checked the date I opened the coconut milk -for perishables like that, I always write it on the container with a sharpie- and even though the coconut milk stays fresh for seven to ten days according to the packaging and this was day [...]

Three Riffs on Safety
Just before the MAGIC OF TED WALLACE and his TOTAL DOMINANCE OF THE INTERWEBS happened last week, I was trying to make some sense of a few thoughts that all showed up in my head at the same time. They are related, but I am not sure how.
1. There are people who show up in [...]
Saturday Night Bites: Those Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookie Scone Things, The Ones With Tahini
I absolutely love these cookies. They are halfway between a cookie and a mini scone – earthy, nutty, and just sweet enough, much like yours truly. Because they are sweetened with maple syrup they are a little bit easier on the old blood sugar that regular cookies, too. And, like so many of my favorite [...]

Unfortunately, it is only available as a regular old unisex shirt, and those always look ridiculous on me. The sleeves hit me in a funny place, and the [...]
They Might Be Giants, I Might Be Old
Every time I go to a general admission show I get stuck behind the Wall of Dude. The Wall of Dude is four to six guys, all about six feet tall, who stand shoulder to shoulder and do not move for the entire show. It does not matter where I am standing when the show [...]
Perked Up
WOW. Last night I was sitting here feeling a little defeated because I spent an hour trying to get some thoughts together that wouldn’t quite gel, and just as I was about to call it a night, Ted Wallace posted this incredibly nice thing about my writing.
As if that weren’t enough, Ted’s COMPLETE DOMINANCE [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: Ayurvedic Edition
Teacher training over the weekend got me thinking: which dosha governs misbehaving? Most dosha tests reveal that I am equally kapha and pitta, with vata always scoring very low. So, it stands to reason that if we all have elements of all three doshas, my misbehaving dosha would be vata. It is the dosha I [...]

Poop
The window was open, and I was sitting on the couch with my laptop doing some work. One wiener dog was perched on top of the sofa assiduously surveying the neighborhood. The other wiener dog was curled up by my left arm, napping. Then, SOMETHING HAPPENED. Either someone tried to break into the house, or [...]
