These kids today, I tell ya. When I was 16 and I fought with my boyfriend – which was, like, a lot – I’d go out with my girlfriends, and hope that maybe we’d meet up at some point with the guys and he could see how much fun I was having without him, orContinue reading “When I was your age”

Doggie Doggie Bone, Y’all
I’m a-tell you, like Isis told me,Kibble rules everything around me. Apologies to Wyclef. Rob starting singing those lyrics last night. Sweetest Girl is his latest fixation, which he plays over and over and over. Hey, it beats Britney’s “Gimme More.” (I’m not joking.) To the issue at hand. We took Isis to a GermanContinue reading “Doggie Doggie Bone, Y’all”
Driving without feet
Afraid of exceeding the speed limit, but feel like those signs are sucking the fun out of driving? Bring back the joy of highway driving with Cruise Control! Even crawling along at 60 mph is a hoot when you can accelerate or decelerate with the press of a button on your steering wheel. We’ll seeContinue reading “Driving without feet”
Least convincing defense ever
“Your honor, I don’t speed. I’ve only ever had one other speeding ticket, um, prior to that one.” (Looks down) “It says here you have two.” “Yeah, that’s because I got another one after the one I’m here for today. But I totally use cruise control all the time now.” Everyone in court today wasContinue reading “Least convincing defense ever”
Best roadside emergency ever
On my way to work yesterday, about two miles from my exit, the freeway started to feel extremely bumpy. “That’s strange,” I thought. “I don’t remember this much bumping.” I kept on at full speed, before beginning to sense that the bumpiness might be originating from my car, and not the road. I slowed down,Continue reading “Best roadside emergency ever”

Blue is the new red
When I was young and rebellious (I was never rebellious), I heard that red cars were more likely to get pulled over. Don’t believe it, kids. I owned red cars for 16 years, and I was pulled over exactly once while driving one. I was pulled over twice in my dad’s blue jeep. (Plus, heContinue reading “Blue is the new red”
What did you do for the Super Bowl?
While other people were eating wings and shouting at their widescreen TV sets (I assume), I spent last Sunday becoming an accessory to murder. Of a mouse. I don’t feel good about it, but then I work with people who go out with rifles and deliberately shoot deer and elk, so maybe my humane compassContinue reading “What did you do for the Super Bowl?”
I’m not what they say I am, except I sort of am
Things were humming along with our travel plans for India and Nepal in April. Still having some trouble booking airline tickets. While I was successful in booking one flight on a website, the next day that very same airline wouldn’t accept my credit card. (And it’s not because my credit card company is looking outContinue reading “I’m not what they say I am, except I sort of am”
Isis loves her new outfit
See how she smiles? You can see the design more clearly in the second shot, but she doesn’t look quite as happy. She’s just embarrassed that there’s so much dog hair on her black shirt.
