So my 8 year old, when learning to read, first understood (and said) Popeyes as Pope Yes.....and now I can't unsee it.

I too am a V-day loather. My humble solution: decorate for Mardi Gras instead! Better colors. More inclusive. Way more fun.

Got one for each of my girls this holiday. My older one has been gleefully working through hers. Christmas morning, the little one said, "oh my God, Daddy! We see these every time we walk past the bookstore and we've always wanted them!" Three cheers for analog model building!

I am thinking of all of you there, sending love, and hoping Brunonians find space to grieve and remain ever open and connected to the community in spite of (and in defiance of) this act of violence.

Let's be honest, Karen. City-owned groceries and free public transportation are more attainable goals than fixing the Mets.

This is why Red-Eye gravy is the superior option.

Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America by John Barry. Do you want to be enthralled by river engineering? Do you want to be absolutely terrified by the power of water?
