Well, Hello There

I got off the train in Victoria Station and this is what I saw across the platform. It lifted my heart a little. It’s just his picture, in front of 10 Downing Street, apparently. I have no idea what they’re advertising. Hope, maybe?

Gotta REPRESENT

This just in from my sister over the email: word. I am wearing it to wal mart today…hope I don’t get shot!! ha!ha!

It’s Official: I’m Obsessed With Sarah Palin

John McCain’s VP pick has absolutely knocked me for a loop. I am utterly dismayed at how the Republican noise machine has once again co-opted actual debate about actual issues in America. We continue to be at war, the price of fuel is soaring, the economy is in the crapper, and I am absolutely obsessed [...]

Sad, Sad, Sad. David Foster Wallace Is Dead

Celebrities die, I know. We all get the the news however we get it: on the internet, the TV, the radio, the paper. If it’s someone we knew, someone whose work we followed, we feel a momentary loss, a sadness that a little something beautiful has gone out of the world. Then we go on. [...]

Geography Lesson

Over dinner, discussing the potential trip to California for Christmas, words like “Grandma” (who lives in L.A.) and “Sacramento” (where our house is) were being bandied about.

Coming Together: The Plazas of Madrid

What? Did you think I was through talking about Madrid?

No, no, I'm not done. I'm still there, actually, in my heart.

No matter what the time of day or night you find yourself out on the streets of Madrid, you will not…

First Pair of Big Girl Shoes

Baybish got her first pair of real shoes today. They are purple with pink hearts on their velcro closures and they each have a teeny tiny sparkle on the toe.

"Dee?" she said when the shoe store lady put them on her feet. "Dee?"
