Now that the primary season has wrapped up, I thought I’d share one of my favorite moments from the last year:

In Which I Find A Good Cup of Espresso.
Last week when I was on jury duty, I was in need of a good espresso. I asked a couple of the marshals who were working the entrance for their recommendations, and they told me about Motore Coffee up the street.
From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be way better [...]

I still don’t get the whole MySpace thing — it just seems clunky and poorly designed. But I finally broke down and signed up.

I wanted to post something about these last week, but jury duty ate my available brain cells. Just a couple of things I came across in pop culture that gave me pause:

Vrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . “Hahahahahaha!”

In Which My Children Are Still Informed.
I’ve blogged before about our love for politics and how that has become the preferred sport in our house. Last night I was in bed watching the Obama “acceptance” speech and Peanut was laying next to me. “He didn’t win the whole thing,” he mumbled in my ear. Sensing a moment, I turned on the [...]

In Which We Celebrate Twelve Years of Marriage.
Sixteen years ago, I took The Wise One to prom. Yesterday we celebrated 12 years of marriage. As we discussed yesterday over dinner at the Keg, some of those years have been better than others, but we’ve been blessed to have each other all this time.
In our wedding, Jim Lyon read to us Song of [...]
