I was adopted with my twin brother, who died in his late twenties. After that I was an only child. I did 23 and Me and Ancestry, and discovered my regional, national and international heritage. I’m likely Acadian from Louisiana. Relative trees seem to confirm that I’m part of a large chain of big Catholic families.

Dear Penthouse,

there was legitimate criticism of jery and phoebe and how they bailed jared out time and again instead of having him face consequences for earlier actions. when you hear jery speak on this, or read his words, you are hearing only one side of the equation. jared was allowed to skate for years on bad behavior and,…

Generally, I’m happy to give a host a chance to fix problems, but I also don’t feel compelled to let them “respond” to things that are inherent to the home. For instance, if a shared home has thin walls, that’s the nature of renting there and is worth mentioning in a review.

For the construction noise, I think you should be more explicit, if the point is to be diplomatic. “Place X was lovely, close to amenities, etc., and Host Y was gracious and knowledgeable about area.

I once opened a cafe bathroom door in Spain to find a man recumbent upon the throne with his legs straight out and his pants around his ankles, hands folded behind his head, as if he were leaning back in a desk chair. I think I may have interrupted his one-person-sex, but in my defense the door was unlocked. Not a…

Who would be left to come for you if they took the idiots without valid opinions? I mean, don’t those people basically run the US now?

This probably isn’t even a question. But is there a worst decision than trying to sleep next to your kid?

I know airport dining has evolved to the point where Rick Bayless has a joint in O’Hare where you can line up with 2,000 people to get an overpriced torta..

The NYDN already had this one lined up, just needed two commas:

Did anyone investigate whether they got down the mountain so quickly like this?

God, I fucking love Ronin. “What’s the color of the boat-house in Hereford!”

Republicans “The US is the best place to live, we get paid the best, have the best standard of living, jobs, and opportunities for you and your children!”

I reference the bag of glass from this skit to uneducated audiences way too often.  One of my fav SNL sketches.

Boy that clip of My Blue Heaven made me smile. There was a documentary of Nora Ephron on HBO a while ago that I got sucked into. I had always liked My Blue Heaven (fan of most anything Steve Martin did in the 80s and early 90s), and when I found out that the entire concept is based on Goodfellas it made me love it…

Pat and Vanna have never fucked but I hear she sat next to Nelly on a plane once
