Santa is dead.
I am easily disappointed. I tend to get very excited for and attached to things or plans. When these things or plans change, I’m told my face and demeanor looks something akin to a child who’s just lost his puppy. Meredith, who most often gets to take the brunt of my disappointment, rarely has any […]
Famous Foremothers: “Come to my Box o’ Dicks”
I don’t have much time to write this week. The Memorial Day weekend will be filled with as much relaxation as a rectal exam thanks to our move. It’s always stressful packing up your life and moving it to another location. And even though we’ve hired movers to do all the heavy lifting, it’s boxing […]
Peeing your pants.
On the whole, quarterly department meetings are a chore. To make things worse, I work in accounting, meaning the power points are filled with charts and graphs and numbers and dollar signs and jargon that makes me sleepy.On Wednesday afternoon, I sat around a long, conference table with the rest of the accounting department. My […]
Seeking Professional Help
The list of things that Meredith and I agree on is … short. Finding common ground can be challenging but makes for a very interesting relationship. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. A short list of discrepancies might include: 1. Music: Meredith generally hates music (although more recently has taken to singing renditions […]
Famous Foremothers: Wanda Sykes
Wanda Sykes, 47, struck comic gold – in my opinion – as Larry David’s antagonizer in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In April of 2009, her wife, Alex, had twinsies: Olivia Lou and Lucas Claude. Why she didn’t choose the name Krazee-Eyez Killa, I’ll never know.
Lana the Nana
We spent the weekend at our new house, which is in a fairly desperate state of reconstruction. We closed on the house April 15, and started work on it almost immediately. In another three weeks, our apartment lease will be up and we’ll be living at the house full time. For now, Meredith, Duncan and […]

Famous Foremothers: Darlene Connor
Sara Gilbert is nothing like Darlene Connor. It’s unfortunate.She is, however, a meat-free lesbian mother of two. Which is rad. Darlene gave birth to her daughter, Sawyer, on August 2, 2007.
“You look just like your moms.”
Two of our best friends visited Meredith and me this past weekend. We are the kind of best friends that like to do things in tandem. We were engaged in the same year. We had our weddings 5 months apart. Even the age gap between our significant others is virtually equal. Meredith and Eric are […]
