I took Metro North to and fro the Mets game last night. They won in the 12th inning, but I had to leave by the 7th, foreseeing that the game was likely to go into the extra innings. One of my favorite things about the trains on the Hudson line is that the cars on [...]

I just need to write this down somewhere…
This past weekend was fantastic.Friday night was all about spending quality time in the cottage with the cat. I pulled out the vacuum to do some cleaning, but the cat looked so serene, I decided to put it off until she stopped looking cute, and we settled in to watch DVD’s. Saturday, I went to [...]

What can brown do for you?
AKA the random raunchy Thursday post about poop. The easily offended should leave now. – I have no idea what we were supposed to be discussing, in an eight grade health class, one of the bubbly, smart, but not brilliant popular girls blurted out that when women go #2, they should always wipe, “The way [...]

Oh, to be Prince Caspian
I took a road trip to Vermont for work yesterday. I left home at 6:30 in the morning, visited five wonderful independent bookstores, and got home again thirteen hours later in time to watch Lost at the Dutchess’ place. (or is that Dutchesse’s? Duchess’s? Duchessez? Help me MLA, or Stefanie!) As I sped down the [...]

My Inner Monologue While Doing the Weight Circuit at Planet Fitness "No Judgements" Last Night:
…I am going to lift so many weights tonight that you’ll see the difference by morning… I’m glad the 30 minute weight circuit room is empty, that way I’ll be able to do MORE REPS on each machine!… Come to think of it, I don’t really like this overhead press machine, it makes my elbow [...]

Almost as good as the "in memoriam" part of the Oscars
I started writing a long post about the nature of driving in New Jersey based on observations I made while driving my parents to Newark Airport last night. But what can I say, it just wasn’t interesting. I bored myself while proofreading it. So let me sum up: If you are driving in New Jersey [...]

Just my type
It’s Friday, and I’m tired, and I have random bruises all over my shins from last night’s kickball game, even though 5 innings + 18 players on the team = only one “at bat” for me. The bruises must be from the pre-game practice where I put all my energy into getting that damn rubber [...]

We smurfed all night.
Last night some kickballers and I went to a Hibachi-style Japanese restaurant to celebrate Flick’s birthday. By all accounts, it was wonderful. Afterwards, many of us participated in a viewing of the next-to-last episode of “Lost,” a dangerous adventure for me since my Wednesday night bedtime is usually 10:00 so I can get up Thursday [...]

Talk of the Town
First off, I want to thank my mom for her wonderful post, and thank you all for your comments. She’s made it a challenge for me to think of a good follow-up, and the best I can come up with is my most recent crazy landlady story. For my birthday this year, The Man of [...]

Honor thy mother
By all accounts, my mom is the best. Additionally, the lady can write, as evidenced by her emails to me and an speech she wrote to introduce Alan Alda during a bookstore signing that was so well written, it threatened to outshine the star. So, this mother’s day, when we were both working in our [...]
