My first guest gig: Afraid to Call Yourself a Writer (Me Too)
06.24.08 | Permalink | Comments OffSo, I’ve gone over to the dark side of bloggy guest posting and such. After carnivals and a giveaway, it was only a matter of time. Please, for the love of everything holy, go comment on my poor little offering. Thanks! I’ll even close comments here so we can pretend that I’m stopping hordes of [...]

Awkward, like Steve Carrell, only not as funny
06.22.08 | Permalink | 8 CommentsWe went to the zoo today. My dad’s work was having their yearly ‘company picnic,’ complete with catered lunch and crafts for the kids. Dad dotes on his six grandkids.

06.05.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsYou’ve probably heard that there’s a housing slump. But I’m not buying it. Unless by “slump” you mean that paying 229,000 for a screwy multi-level, 1600-square-foot house in an okay neighborhood is a steal. (Just nod, you New Yorkers; I know, life isn’t fair).

Unexpected, and a call for Bloggy Opinions
05.28.08 | Permalink | 14 CommentsWell-meaning friends and strangers have asked me why I blog. And I confess that sometimes I ask myself that very question.
