I’m not afraid of any of the regular things. Spiders, snakes, heights, no problem. I’m not afraid of enclosed spaces, or needles, or thunderstorms; I’m not afraid of flying. I have some irrational paranoid fantasies, but they’re all silly and small, and none of them keep me up at night. What does scare me, what […]

Truthfully, I don’t ever remember believing in Santa. I don’t say this to sound cynical and world-weary; them’s the facts. I do remember little seeds of doubt and disappointment: when I lost my first tooth and my dad woke me up replacing it with a dollar, when I spent Easter with my grandparents and they […]

My grandparents are Episcopalian and drive an hour out of town every Sunday in order to attend a service that condemns pretty much everyone.

My favorite book is The World According to Garp, but I don’t usually say that. When people ask me my favorite book, I usually lie. More often, I rattle off several and usually list the authors I like, rather than the books I love. Don’t get me wrong—I almost always remember to include John Irving […]

From what I gather, Dead Man’s Bones started as a fun and gimmicky experiment in self-indulgence for Ryan Gosling and the guy who dated Rachel McAdam’s little sister. What came out is the best album I’ve heard in a really long time; I’ve been transporting the skinny cardboard sleeve in my purse so I can […]

Saturday was a busy day. In the morning, I helped set up the CASA booth at Macy’s. Some lovely volunteers of ours offered to sit at the table and sell coupon books for the Macy’s Shop For A Cause event, but I think it was kind of a wash. We made something like $20 the […]
