Will and I have an intricate bartering system. He pimped my blog so I cut the grass. I cut the grass so he made me (clears throat) several rum heavy strawberry daiquiries.

When I started my blog I struggled with what I wanted to do with this thing. In fact, my first post is a declaration of “I don’t care what you think…I’m writing for all our relatives who want to keep up with us.” Then I proceeded to write about politics and religion and [...]

Not Gore. Me.
I have a love/hate relationship with online news coverage. Having violently ripped cable and network tv out of our home, I’ve been spared from ongoing Michael Jackson/Britney Spears/ridiculously trite items that seem to dominate tv reports.

Can you believe it? Crazy Hip etc. used my prompt for their writing collaboration project:

Someday, in waning days of this disappointing administration, I’m going to do a lengthy post about the wasted opportunity that was George W. Bush. On that day, I’ll paint a picture of the glorious presidency that ‘could have been’ had W. stuck to the vision he sucked me into in 1999. I’ll shed a tear, [...]

Do you spend countless hours neglecting your work/children reading online celebrity gossip?
Do complain about our celebrity obsessive culture yet find yourself drawn to photographs of latte-carrying, tiny-dog-owning, anorexic ingenues?
Have I got a link for you! Now you can keep up with celebrity gossip while self righteously mocking the absurdity of it all. Don’t [...]
