Jim and I have an anti-valentine’s day tradition (3 years running) that we wholeheartedly look forward to each year. Now, if you love valentine’s day, homemade cards, sweet little anecdotes, boxes of chocolates & mall-jewelry-store gold heart necklaces, you might want to stop reading.

In a valiant effort to stick to my new year’s resolution and lose weight (and since I seem to have a very difficult time making the right choices while winging it) I decided it was time to bring in the big guns. That’s right, an actual honest-to-goodness eating plan with books & products & […]

Heroes (not great, […]

I pulled something in my neck/shoulder at the concert the other night and have been walking around like Quasimodo ever since. Add to this the fact that as soon as the concert was over we looked at each other and said “I’m ready to go home… and, man, was that ever loud” and it’s […]
