  • Haircut 100 and a MOHs Update.

    I got a haircut last night. The woman didn’t even use scissors. Instead, she pulled out that razor thing and went all Edward on me. I generally tell hair stylists to do whatever they want with my hair. (I liken it to doing logo work. Things always work out better for everyone involved if the…

  • Em Dancin' To Ted Leo.

    Emory dances a lot. He has two dances. The first one (which we can’t seem to capture on video) is by far my favorite. He shakes his head really fast from side to side until he gets dizzy and falls down. It’s truly one of the most outstanding things you’ll ever witness. The video I…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 66)

    Many of you have asked me to get a video of Em feeding Murray. You see, usually Em feeds Murray on the fly, without my noticing. Both parties make out under this arrangement: Em gets to appear as though he’s eaten everything on his plate, and Murray gets fatter and fatter and fatter. Last week,…

  • Voting As A Primary Caregiver.

    Here in New York we weren’t allowed to hit the polls early. I’m anticipating long lines tomorrow. I’m wondering how other stay-at-home-moms are doing it (or have done it). Do you have a story to tell? Ideas? Suggestions? I have to bring Em with me. And while I’m hoping he behaves himself as long as…

  • Teen Pregnancy Linked To Sexy TV Shows?

    RAND Research has linked teen pregnancy to watching a lot of television. The study shows that the more sex (on TV) a teenager watches, the more likely it is for that teenager to get pregnant or impregnate. That makes sense, right? Here’s my problem with it. Could it be that the kids who are watching…

  • Amex Cuts 7,000 Jobs. What Would You Do?

    American Express is cutting 7,000 jobs. Jobs are being slashed everywhere and that has me thinking… What would you do if you lost your job tomorrow? Do you have a savings? Do you have enough to cover six to ninth months worth of all your expenses? Would you be OK for a while? Would you…

  • Designated Driver.

    Many people have suggested that the turnout for this year’s election among college aged students will be huge. I am not trying to dispute that. That’s not the point of this post. But I do think that what some of the skeptics are saying is indeed very possible. The best way to illustrate this is…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 65)

    I thought I’d take this opportunity and give an update on Murray’s diet. P.S. Murray signed up for a twitter account today.

  • Halloween 2008

    We went to the Greenpoint children’s Halloween party yesterday. Beforehand, we stopped by our friend, Caroline’s, for hot cider and pumpkin cookies. While the kids ran around in the backyard, I took a few pictures. Channon lent us the outfit because the idea Toby and I came up with fell through. Nevertheless, I think he…

  • Invest In Happy Memories.

    Greg Mankiw breaks down tax on investments. In a nutshell, unless you’re the type of person who makes it now and spends it now, both candidates’ tax plans suck for you. That’s not to say that this is entirely their fault or that it’s something they have control over. This is a fault of how…
