I frequently think that nothing is more indicative to the downfall of society as reality television. I’m always, always startled to think that these shows are being watched by someone. For example, it has come to my attention that there is a new show coming out featuring people who, among other things, like to eat […]

I have been having a very stressful and emotional week, and that was even before it became apparent that my stressful and emotional week was exacerbated by the fact that it was coinciding with my monthly stressful and emotional week. You can imagine the tears and chocolate eating that have been going on around here. […]

This week saw the culmination of all my book fair coordination efforts. I have been living and breathing the book fair. My life has been consumed by the book fair.
