It’s not BS or smugness: Being able to choose a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet is a privilege, one that people living in other countries may not have available.

My cat greets me at the door and reaches up with his paws to be picked up. He loves belly rubs. He wants to be on my lap 24/7. My daughter used him as a pillow when they were both younger. I had a previous cat who would only eat after I held him on my lap and scratched his ears and head for a while. He would greet me…

Hey, it’s Pornstache!

Does no one carry a diaper bag any more?

Of course, my kid only shat rose petals and snickerdoodles, so odor wasn't a problem.

Yes, please, to dress No. 2, I love the crossover neck and the scarf/sleeves.

ONLY BORING SPORTS ARE HAPPENING? What the hell is wrong with you; we’re a half game back from the Dodgers! It’s a pennant race!

But seriously — I’ve hiked in this forest near JPL; how do you wind up lost? The average Target is more confusing and harder to navigate than the fire roads they had us using. And we were basically never out of sight of other hikers. Must have been SOME date.

Eva, honey, just no.

I had to read that sentence twice to make sense of it — at first, I thought “murder two women legally” was supposed to be sarcastic.

Damn. Especially those last shots from the streets next to the airport.

They only carry Sudafed PE in my drugstore. Which is like naming a product “Beer GA” and then filling the bottle with ginger ale.

Love this hair, btw.
