    If you miss TWM posts, please email me. I am trying to figure out if I’m making people sad by discontinuing his regular updates. I would hate to make people sad. :] So, I need your feedback. Update! TWM will return next week. You all have spoken. He is loved! Wow, is he ever loved!

    We live a few blocks from McCarren Park. I take Em to the playground there every single day. It’s often trashy, but the past couple of days have taken trashy to an entirely different level. Earlier today I wrote the following two posts on Twitter: The state of our playground the last 2 days has…

    First of all, thanks for responding about the Amish Friendship Bread starter. I was going to put that recipe up today, but I realized that the starter is not ready yet. (I’m on day 8 as I write this and it won’t be ready until day 12). That said, next week should be the week.…

    I really miss my cats. We’ve been away for almost a week and that’s far too long to go without scritching an animal. I still have no idea how people live without pets. None whatsoever. This picture was taken last week during bath time. Murray likes to watch Emory in the bathtub. I think he’s…

    My apologies for slacking so much with the ol’ blog here. We decided sort of last minute to head to the Jersey shore (my folks have a house near Long Beach Island). We were supposed to return to Brooklyn yesterday, but have decided to prolong our stay for another couple of days. I promise to…

    Much thanks to commenter Lillet for pointing these guys out to me. I read through their About Page and had tears in my eyes. What a great idea! I wish I could give all of these men a great big hug. All I can do from here is link to their Web site and hope…

    Forgive me ahead of time for not posting a Mom It Down today. I have had the flu for almost three days; eating has been difficult, baking and cooking even more so. I promise to do something awesome next week, assuming I’m not dead. Speaking of good health (or lack thereof), my question today is…

    Moms and dads: these are a must have. Don’t have kids? Buy them for someone who does! They’re the perfect birthday gift. Emory loves them. He loves them so much, he carries them around with him all over the house and recites each letter to us. We got ours at Target, but you can buy them…

    It’s possible to take it too far. Just ask MeMe Roth resident of the Upper West Side. When offered any food at school other than the school lunch, Ms. Roth’s children — who shall go nameless since it seems they have enough on, or off, their plates — are instructed to deposit the item into…

    This is Murray. (Also known as: Murrl, Myrtle Man, Scrtichy, or Fatty Mcpherson.) As of today, I’ve posted about Murray 100 times. I had thought back around Chapter 80, that I would likely bring Tuesdays With Murray to an end once hitting 100. But now that I’m here, I am just not sure. I probably…
