In truth, the clouds which most remind me of “scooped up soggy snow” are the ones in Spring or Summer which appear in row after row of clumpy ...
Over the weekend, my son wanted to see the Dinosaurs at the St. Louis Science Center for his 3rd birthday. The giant T-Rex that is eating the Triceratops, on the lower level of the main building, is one of his...

Radu Lupu's Sunday afternoon encore was Brahms' Intermezzo
in A major, op. 118, no. 2. And as much as the audience appreciated this, I've been told that the musicians were transported into a state of bliss....
As I mentioned in my “Best of Beauty” article, I recently tried some of Rescue Beauty Lounge’s nail polishes. I’ll be the first to admit that they are pricey at $18 a bottle, so I certainly won’t be buying entire...
I am still observing Twitter from the outside; too timid to take any big steps. Although, considering where I started from, I should join the Olympics for long jump. Hello, I put up a profile picture! Or, as I have...

Well, it's Monday morning. Time to talk Super Bowl commercials. Which ones did you like? Which ones were a miss? Who got the best bang for their $3 million bucks? In case you want to...
I'm obsessed with STFU, Parents.
I feel kind of guilty about that. You know, the sanctity of motherhood and all.
I don't really want to know if there's a STFU, Pet Owners. I'd be a frequent contributer. (Note to self: do...
I’m a sprinter. I start things with gusto, with excitement, with passion. I thrive in those first 100 yards.
But then the lactic acid begins to build up, and I have to glide for the next 100 yards or so before...
Just for everyone’s information, this blog is not dying, there just simply isn’t much to report right now. I would continue talking about the draft, but as expected, everyone still has the Rams taking Suh with the first overall...

Since I’m pretty much broke all the time, we know I don’t have money for things like vacation rental...
I've often thought that bringing up kids was the ultimate opportunity for the exercise of simple common sense. So much of what is wrong with kids (especially other people's kids, you understand) comes down to the feckless stupidity and lack...
