So these two jackets from the Goodwill? Awesome. I mean. Just. Awesome. I get this floaty feeling inside when I think of them, and when I wear them and when I consider that combined, they cost me $15. The black trench shown above is Old Navy and I bought it NEW for…Continue Reading

JW Tumbles is Happening
A few weeks ago, we celebrated Toots’ birthday party at our local JW Tumbles (Pt. Loma). It made me wonder why I ever do stuff for birthday parties. Things like planning and preparing and cooking and assembling and shopping. I just didn’t need to with JW Tumbles and let me say, the opportunity…Continue Reading
I Knew Better
…than to open the e-mail titled “With Tremendous Force and Volume.”
Shoo, Flu
I am bonkers for this stuff. I believe that I associate the smell of it with childhood, which brings good tidings. It’s got a beautiful eucalyptus smell that reminds me of the Vick’s VapoRub my dad used to use on us kids. For everything. Seriously. Loose tooth? Vicks. First period? Vicks. Herpes Simplex A?…Continue Reading
Info Slurp
Is there a software or technology out there which allows people in your general vicinity to see what you are doing/writing on your computer? Like a Google Earth but with computers? Where people can zone in on you and see your computer screen on theirs? I hope not.

Thanks to my brother for this link. It’s a poem from the New Yorker. Here’s a poem my brother wrote. I like it too. p.s. To see my bro’s poem, go to this link, click on Scribble, then on the photo with the red-shaded lamp. You’ll be glad you did.
Happy Slip
Yes, indeed.
Really? The Sex and the City Guy?
Have you read the Memory of Running? You should. Then, please tell me who the author played in Sex and the City. It wasn’t the senator, right?
Learning to Forgive Update #3
This is part 3 from my Road to Oprah series. (I was inspired by my dream last night). This is part 1. And part 2. I’ve been avoiding this. There’s way more to work through than I originally thought. Because I started with my mom. And that’s the hardest person to forgive.…Continue Reading
Dora’s World Adventure CD
I don’t know, I kind of have a licensed character aversion. My brother has it, too, and refuses to dress his son in clothes with any trace of Bob the Builder or Thomas, preferring instead those drab, uniformy-looking kid’s clothes you get when you shop in Asia. Not that there’s anything wrong with…Continue Reading
Like a Puppet
I disappoint myself when these types of videos get to me. I know the message is worthwhile, I do. But it’s that they orchestrate the music, the photos, the words, to intentionally make you cry. And then it becomes about the making-you-cry, and not about the making-you-think. (The fact that I’m bothered by that…Continue Reading
A Day Late
Well, now that the writer’s strike is pretty much over, I find this hilarious video. Maybe not as relevant, still as funny.
