How Fitting!

April 16, 2010

Lately I’ve been thinking that I must have suffered a series of mini-strokes because when people talk to me, I have no idea what they’re saying.

Dear Parole Officer:

April 15, 2010

Young Ladrinka: Mom, I went to the principal’s office today. Marinka: Oh? YL: Not because I was in trouble. Just to talk. Marinka: That’s…nice. About what? YL: Well, it all started when I told Bobby that if he was a real man he’d punch himself in the face. Marinka: And what did Bobby do? YL: […]

How to be an Excellent House Guest

April 6, 2010

Spring is in the air and that means that summer is around the corner (and autumn is at bat, and winter is warming up, and thank the Lord that there are only four seasons, because otherwise this cliche nightmare would go on and on).  But the point is soon you and your loved ones will […]

Untitled

April 5, 2010

At the door stands a courier, chewing on what must be a piece of gum for elephants, given the vigor and range of mandibular activity to which he is compelled. See, I read this as we were driving from North Carolina (where we visited with my inlaws) to DC (where we were going to stay […]
