About four months ago, someone knocked off my car’s driver’s side mirror. I assumed it was bad driving that did it, because I was parked in the street. Last week, Danielle’s car’s driver’s side mirror was knocked off. She also was parked in the street. But here’s the thing: she was parked on a one-way …
Is this true in American subways? Here’s an article about what people are reading in the Tube in London and other UK trains. I’ve seen readers on trains in Boston and DC, but I don’t recall seeing too many books in NYC. Correct me if I’m wrong. Books, like clothes, music (should a bit of …

The New York Times ten best list is out. I was incredulous when I saw Special Topics in Calamity Physics on the list. You may recall my distaste.

A couple weeks ago we saw a large dog run across the busy street off which I work, part husky, from the look of it (we thought it was a coyote at first, but that’s another story). It was dusk. The dog just trotted around the Applebee’s parking lot, then disappeared. This morning, we saw …
I hate upgrading WordPress. Back up this, back up that. Download this, extract, upload, and cross your fingers. And, behold, it worked! It’s like Magic. Now we can get back to business as usual.
I just found out that the house I live in is the same house one of my coworkers grew up in. The television in the breakroom was showing a commercial for a basement-finishing contractor. I commented they would have a hard time with my basement as it had a boulder in it about the size …
I normally use Firefox as my browser, but it’s not an option at work. I wonder if the latest version of WordPress fixes this bug… I hate updating the WordPress software. If you’re using IE and are annoyed, just switch to Firefox so I don’t have to mess with my blog software. That’s how lazy …
I knew this day would come. It just took a little while longer than I initially thought, and there’s a good story about that if you read on. Elyse Cheney, Carol Mann, and Denise Shannon all sent rejections, and I got them all on the same day. ‘Hmm, that’s odd,’ you might be thinking. Here’s …
