  The Triennial Colonoscopy PSA (a love story)

  09.09.11 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  My soul mate turned 36 last week, so that must mean it’s time for another colonoscopy! Happy birthday, honey! I signed up Tom for his first colonoscopy at 33 because his maternal grandfather died at age 43 from colon cancer. They found a polyp that was pre-cancerous but advanced enough to warrant a repeat in [...]

  Ode to the end of romantic love

  On Friday Dick had to attend his first (and hopefully last) Boy Scout Jamboral.

  So, Dick works for a company that is in the top 10 of conservative companies in the entire world. He loves his job. Even though he has to wear a suit everyday and shine his shoes and be interviewed as to his personal righteousness every two years. He actually says he doesn’t notice his tie [...]

  Get thee a blog!

  I feel a bit awkward writing on this topic as I’ve been quite delinquent in posting the past couple months (to your great sorrow, I’m sure). But I heard such a disturbing thing a couple days ago that I cannot remain silent — surprising as it may (not) be that I feel rather strongly about [...]
