Real Jeanius
Sally Brompton is useless. This “If Today is Your Birthday..” is as lamely generic as they come: July 25, 2007 — Look back over the previous 12 months and accept everything that happened. Then turn […]
Henpecked
Ok, random cuteness, please indulge me for a paragraph. I’m always late to tender tales of interspecies mingling. I’ll have to set up an alert (I monitor news and press releases all day at work […]

Rooting for the Home Team
Lest you think I’m the only kook who’s amused by Bonnie Root’s (inexplicably misguided friends/fans of Ms. Root need not leave comments about how I shouldn’t quit my day job. Believe me, I know) breed […]
