Tobyjoe's Illegitimate Love Child.
A couple of weeks ago I was at the gym watching one of those seen-one-seen-’em-all morning shows. They were talking about a new prime time television show that’s apparently taking off. They were interviewing its participants. I was only half paying attention because I hadn’t ever seen the show before, but as soon as they…

Hello, Big Guy.
I have been mentally writing this letter since we left you on Saturday. I’m not sure why I need (or want) to write you a letter. You are a cat, after all; you can’t read. You were smart and almost human but you had better things to do with your time other than read. You…

Rough Days Ahead.
We got a call yesterday saying that Schmitty did pull through the surgery. That’s good news. The bad news is – the really bad news – is that Schmitty’s cancer has spread, which means he doesn’t have much time left and the time he does have left, as well as its quality, is probably going…

Pictures of Schmitty at the Hospital
This is Schmitty. He’s currently in the hospital with colon cancer. So we packed up his favorite bath mat and drove into the city to visit him. I took pictures. I got Schmitty when I was 19-years-young. I am now 33. You do the math. He’s probably the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. For those…

Partial Birth Abortion: A Bogus Term.

For those of you who might not understand how misleading that term is, the term “partial birth abortion” was made up in order to spin the image of all vaginal abortion that uses “dilation…

Schmitty Goes into Emergency Care.
Tobyjoe and I cut our romantic getaway short because Schmitty took a turn for the worse. We left DC on Monday night at about 10 PM. We arrived back to New York City just after 2 AM. We dropped him off at the vet on Tuesday morning. He’s going to be hospitalized for a while…

If I Surrender Will They Go Away?
I’ve been given a new job on mihow.com. I’m no longer only Chief Irritating Officer, and founder of this Web site. I have also been given the job of Police Chief. I usually catch the nasty and/or overly disgusting comments before anyone else has a chance to read them, which is probably why no one…

The Webby Awards.
In January, The Barbarian Group gave me the opportunity to do some identity work. I would have agreed to work on anything related to logo design, but when I found out whom this particular mark was for I jumped at the chance. Let me begin by saying that I love doing identity work. My portfolio…

A Million and One Thank Yous.
The UPS man came to our house yesterday. I did a double take to make sure he wasn’t wearing a Santa suit. I am still a little speechless about the whole ordeal, muted by generosity. My sister-in-law, Melissa, sent us a huge box filled to the brim with baby clothing. I waited until Tobyjoe got…
