Stealing that.

We’ve taken our kids a few times. They like the waterslides but otherwise it’s awful. It’s totally like the bastard offspring of an east coast beachside town and fishermen’s wharf without the seafood.

And thinks he’s hip because he’s drinking Spotted Cow.

He’s so THAT dad at the Dells.

My husband doesn’t even flinch walking in on me changing a tampon. Once you’ve been in the delivery room.....

If you are running that far all ready, go for a half. I live in the Twin Cities and we have everything from huge international races to ones with a few hundred runners. Good luck finding a race that works for you.

There is higher risk of complications for mother and baby as you age, as well. I absolutely understand her feelings here. Especially if there reproductive issues in her…

My son just wrote a paper on the Bread and Roses strike. I think the easter bunny is going to bring him the Paterson book.

I’m drinking in celebration of his ignominious defeat tonight. I even bought a better bottle of wine. Not good, just better.

The Danvers Clones! The scariest part of the Thursday Next books.
