It’s a slow news day in metro DC, the weather is wintry and grey and you can only punch out to www.recovery.gov so many times to see how your stimulus money is being spent before it starts to get obsessive. And after my post yesterday, I know a few things about obsessing, let me tell [...]

Several friends of mine have memberships into the fraternal order of the adicted, meet in musty basements of churches furnished with folding chairs and a Hurculon love-seat. Working the 12 steps seems to have saved thier lives and removed many obstacles even as it sometimes creates new ones. They live “one day at a time” but [...]

When you fill out your profile on Facebook there’s a section where you can list your relationship status as married, single, divorced, in a relationship or as my best friend from high school did, you can list “it’s complicated”.

For people who know me in real life or even the ones who have gotten to know me through reading the blog, I would imagine that my involvement with my Church is difficult to put into context.

Dear Men: We don’t get you. Any of you. You are as big a mystery to us now as you were when you pulled our hair at recess, snapped our bra straps in junior high (North, South, East, West, EQUATOR!), dated our best friends in high school, made unkept promises in college, married us…(or didn’t). [...]

I find that I am unable to find the words to make the sentence to build a paragraph that would adequately express my disgust over this week in politics. I won’t spend $35 on a pair of shoes I don’t “love” so I don’t want to hear that our elected officials don’t “love”‘ the stimulus [...]

MyIf you are going to live in the DC region with any degree of success, then forget whether you’re a democrat or republican, you must stand united in the space of hating the Dallas Cowboys, even if you don’t LOVE the Redskins. I’ve been trying to figure out how the rivalry first started and why it’s [...]
