File This Under: Inappropriate Children's Book Illustrations
Back in 2005 when the pope was dying, I wanted to capture the historical event on film. It was a rainy, chilly day, so I decided to rest on a pew inside Saint Patricks Cathedral for a bit. While there, I saw this peeking out from the top of a hymnal book. Now, I saw…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 82)

He’s famous because of how much he enjoys chewing plastic and rubber. When I walked into the ER on Friday, the head doctor—like, the guy with his name on the plaque everywhere,…

Murray Is At The ER Again.
Oh, Internet. Please say a few kind words for my feline companion. Murray is at the ER again for ingesting some more of Em’s stuff. We need to figure out why he’s doing this. Someone mentioned PICA. I really need to put an end to this somehow. Please email me or leave a comment if…

Get Mad About This.
(I put this up. I took it down. I put it up again. I took it down again. I am putting it up again, with a few additions. If I get attacked, so be it. I’m ready for it. I think.) There are several bloggers upset about a post over at Mom Logic written by…
