Civil War, Yiddish Police, And Pop Culture–Quite The Dinner Party [Books]
So it’s been some time since I’ve mentioned any of books I’ve been reading. (You are welcome.) Unfortunately, the delay is due mostly to the fact that I didn’t particularly enjoy reading a couple of the books, which made it … Continue reading

I’m Progressing, I Guess [Administration]
Though I’ve made very little progress on my plans to learn CSS. But with the help of a great little program I recently discovered, Skitch, I’ve created my own header. Yes, this really just means that I shrunk a photo … Continue reading

Dinner With (Or, To Be Precise, Near) Sport Stars [Office]
Friday and Saturday night were consumed by summer clerk events. Much to Holly’s chagrin, Friday night was sans spouses. We started with drinks and appetizers at the W Hotel’s 16th floor pool. Followed by dinner at N9NE Steakhouse–again–where we saw … Continue reading

Does This Have Something To Do With Holly’s Cooking? [Movies]
Apparently, the kids (and I–I’ll begrudgingly admit) love us some cooking rats. We didn’t really find out until yesterday. We went to see an early Sunday (Holly was still recovering from the party–not The Party, which, incidentally, is great–our party) of … Continue reading
