When Laef and I got married, we made a pretty easy agreement that we would split holiday time with our families. So, one year we go to Missouri to see his family and the next year we see my family in California. We spent 2007 with my family and last year with Laef’s. I’ve worked [...]

A letter from the Editors.
First. Before anything else. Thank you. THANK YOU. It isn’t a post we ever wanted to write. It isn’t a post we know how to write. No words seem strong enough.

Is There an App for This? No? How About a Reality TV Show?
When we moved into this house, there were three of us and one was still in diapers. Buying an overpriced 2/1 in the city seemed like a perfectly NOT stupid idea.

In my underwear. With the door all the way open so I could keep an eye on my boys. Not so easy [...]
Dude. It’s Saturday. Aim A Little Lower.

I answer the phone in my perkiest voice and must keep that perkiness up for five days in a row. Being an assistant is actually a really rewarding job. However, it can be [...]
Half-assed is better than no ass at all, right?
