A great thing about Birmingham is his kissable nature, which has led me to participate in much more P.D.A. than I thought myself capable. So let me take a moment to apologize to anyone who has had to witness us being smoochie smoochie in inopportune times and places, including the little boy in Price Chopper [...]

Sundays are for sleeping in
I have zero plans for the day and it feels so nice and it’s just as well, because yesterday I jogged with a friend who is many more times athletic than me, and I woke up this morning to discover that my once working leg muscles have been replaced with soreness and pain.

You could earn your academic robes with years of education and thousands of dollars. Or buy them online.
I got a kind but firm letter from my college asking me to please return my regalia from the Vassar inaguration before graduation day, so I thought I would take a picture of Micki enjoying the tassle. While I’m at it, let me gloat that I deserve my high school diploma: You paid attention during [...]

You don’t win friends with salad
Compensation for moving out of the city comes in many forms, including Adams Fairacre Farms, the best damn supermarket ever. I go there for everything, including the salad bar, which is where today’s lunch came from. In addition to the great produce, the awesome prices, and the quirky organic layout of the store, I love [...]

Let them eat cake?
I finished reading Abundance, a novel of Marie Antoinette recently. At 540 pages, it was 500 pages too long. While Sena Jeter Nasuld’s previous work, Ahab’s Wife remains one of my favorite books, this one left me desiring more than what it was: a story of a poor little rich girl who lost her head [...]

Waterlogged
I went swimming this morning. I already had water in my ear from swimming on Monday morning. Now there is water on top of the water. I think Monday’s water is mingling with a watermelon seed I ate over the summer and it’s starting to grow in my inner ear. Today’s water is making it [...]

Hooray for Hollywood
Today I woke up, went to work, felt fine until a co-worker told me I looked really tired, ate lunch, started to feel like death warmed over, went home early, and slept for four straight hours and completely missed the yoga class I was planning on attending. Because this day was completely snooze-worthy, I want [...]

Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it
Nobody needs to blog every day. But damn if I didn’t enter this NaBloPoMoFo contest, and damn if I’m going to give up now. I could use this post to tell you about Sunday, which I spent at Woodbury Commons with Sister Alyson. I’d create a funny story about the way we set out to [...]

Once More, With Feeling
On Saturday I went to visit the city and saw a great new movie, ate Indian food prepared and served by actual Indian people, witnessed a train wreck of an off-off Broadway play, and attended a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Musical sing-along. Joining an audience of people who paid upwards $10 to sing along with [...]

Top Ten Saturday
I attended a victory party for Kirsten Gillibrand volunteers in Rhinebeck last night. Here is a top ten list of things overheard in a room full of Democrats: 1. The other day I was listening to NPR and I heard… 2. It felt like Christmas morning. 3. You can’t use that knife in the hummus, [...]
