I just got robbed…

October 16, 2008

The man I should have married.

Speed Racer.

October 9, 2008

Benjamin is racing in a Trik-a-Thon tomorrow. The day care just told me about it today, otherwise I would have taken the afternoon off to cheer him on. Maybe I should anyway. Benjamin is a world-class tricycle rider by the way. We ditched the stroller months ago. Now it’s a bike ride to the coffee [...]

Apocalypse Now?

October 8, 2008

Or will it be next month? Feels like it’s only a matter of time. My little sister called me from the bar she works at in Virginia. Dave Matthews pops up every once in a while, it’s a hot spot. “No one is here. It’s weird.” She says, her voice echoing amidst the empty tables [...]
