I am duty bound to inform you that exactly two weeks from this moment I will be in a tizzy trying to decide if I want to see Savoy Ducet on the Fais Do-Do stage, C.J. Chenier & the Louisiana Red Hot Band on the Congo Square Stage, the New Zion Trio Plus One in [...]
If we had lived 2,000 years ago, we would have had to put lamb’s blood on our door so that during the tenth plague, little Brown Brown wouldn’t have been smote. (Seems to me that that word should be “smoted,” but Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster tell me that “smote” is the past tense. But [...]

What is up with a weather day that is “High: 87 Low: 32.” A friggin 55 degree difference for a single day. On another note, why doesn’t weather.com adjust its site so when the actual temperature goes above their high, it automatically readjusts the day’s high. Yesterday our high was 80 degrees, but the temperature [...]
…would stink. Really. Try it. Call it cabbage. It just doesn’t work. Which is why this name thing is so important. Forget the first name. What about the last name? Baby Brown? Baby Medros? Baby Brown Medros? Baby Brown-as-middle-name Medros? Baby Medros-as-middle-name Brown? Baby with other middle name and Brown-as-middle-name Medros? You can see the [...]
We went in yesterday for our ultrasound. I thought it would be about a fifteen-minute affair, but we were there for about an hour. Very thorough. Checking the kidneys, the heart, the brain, the spine, the bone structure. All there. Ten fingers, two nostrils, one mouth, and a brain. At least that’s what I was [...]
My eternal thanks to Jennifer (aka Beene-Baby) for brightening a very gray day with the oh-so exciting news that the Peeps Fun Bus is going to be in my part of the world! They’ve even mentioned me by name (well they say “Attention all Peeps Fanatics,” which is pretty darn close). How much more fun [...]
For those of you who live in cold-weather states where people drive (I don’t want to hear from the NYC crowd), you know how there’s always that one asshole on the road who was too lazy to clean the snow off his car, so when he drives down the highway, the snow goes flying off, [...]
The pregnancy brain is already starting to set in. Among the misplaced keys and cell phone, I walked out of two–count ‘em two–places this weekend, blithesomely leaving my purse (with wallet, Handspring, keys, etc.) behind. Then yesterday, I got out of the shower, feeling like something was off. I realized what it was when I [...]
Let’s just admit that flattery gets you everywhere in this world. And so I am adding a link to Michael, a soon-to-be Wharton student who also shall wear the badge of “an ok MBA,” a term I’m sure he deserves because it sounds like his wife (and I use the term wife, because he does [...]
So, I have a friend–who shall remain nameless–who I have referred to in this weblog as “my friend who is not a CWIT.” Last night, it became official. “My friend who is not a CWIT” shall now officially be known as “the CWIT who is my friend.” All evidence is pointing solidly in the direction [...]
