  • When Pigs Fly

    Oh, there are so many things I can talk about here, but I won’t . . . I’ll just leave you with the picture (since it has been a while since I’ve posted one).

  • Impasse?

    A little while back I was having a conversation with a male friend of mine.  We are both, to the best of my knowledge, single.  I was explaining how, at some point last year, I got so frustrated by my dating experiences that I decided to go on a self-imposed dating hiatus and just focus

  • Mush

    This is what my brain is turning into after crunching numbers for a decent chunk of the past few days at work.  Even more to come tomorrow.

    It’s only January and, after two jackass-free years, it looks like we may have one in the running for 2008.  I know some of you are out there clapping your hands with glee (I’m not naming names or anything, Tony), but you’re going to have to wait until December for the full story.  It’s not

  • The Promise

    I had the opportunity to eat at Peasant Saturday night — the wine bar downstairs.  Not only did I have good company, interesting conversation, and my favorite dish there (the octopus — delicious), but I thoroughly enjoyed the music, despite it being a tad too loud for my taste.  The Police, Hall & Oates, David

  • Name That Culture Icon

    So I’m changing back into my dress after yoga class at work tonight.  I am in the handicapped bathroom on my floor — they’re cleaning the ladies’ room, plus it has a lot more space in which to maneuver.  I lean against the wall and lean down to put on my socks and boots.  Suddenly,

  • Choose Your Own Adventure

    This weekend, I was having brunch with "the girls."  One of them had a friend in from out of town who is pregnant with her second child.  There was a discussion at one point about the sex of her baby — did she know, did she want to know, did she find out about the
