I’ve worn glasses for the past fourteen years (when did that happen??). I started out just wearing them to see the chalkboard in high school, then for movies, then for driving, then the computer screen, and so on and so on. A few years ago I got lazy and pretty much stopped wearing them unless [...]

Fairway Fail

I tried to go to the new Fairway Market in Douglaston today and could barely get in to the parking lot. You would have thought Justin Bieber was there bagging groceries while Lady Gaga worked the cash register. I promptly headed over to Whole Foods and felt a pang of guilt like I had cheated [...]
Gifts for all “Occasions”
Posted in Uncategorized on November 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
While stopped at a light in Hempstead, I noticed this store and its window display. My very limited knowledge of Spanish helped me figure out that the sign advertises gifts for all occasions. If all of your occasions involve accepting money for sex, then yes, I guess the sign is correct. Too mean?

Overheard in Bagel Boss last week… Dad: Go pick out a soda from the fridge. Eight-year old son: Can I have orange juice instead? Dad: No, go get a soda. What the what??

Last week I took Nolan to see Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, speak at a local assisted living facility. (I think Dr. Karp’s father is a resident there?) His book is a must-read for soon-to-be or new parents. He believes that babies really need a “fourth trimester” and that emulating [...]

I went into Crumbs Bakery today (because the crumb cake I had for breakfast wasn’t enough?) and after I ordered the salesperson said, “Because today is World Gratitude Day we’re giving away vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. Do you want one?” I responded (yelled), “Uhhhh, yeah!” I went with vanilla and it was heavenly. Go get [...]
My Pulitzer Project

Motherhood has afforded more time to read than I expected (Keep eating, Nolan! I want to finish this chapter!), and over the last two months I’ve polished off nearly a dozen books. Yesterday I was moseying around the library looking for inspiration in the fiction section when I picked up Empire Falls by Richard Russo. [...]
