Mom’s Day Off
This weekend I noticed a transition from Snugli men to solo stroller pushers. On my way to the gym Saturday and throughout my 60 minutes on an elliptical trainer near the front with a view […]
Tragedies
Seaver Family Reunion
I had no idea Boner was Chekov's son. But yes, more importantly the guy was suicidal and is now missing, which is sad. I have a special fondness for Growing Pains. In college, the other […]
