Run, Run, Run

In lovely Lowell, MA, it’s going to be a lovely 54 degrees today–perfect marathoning weather! But at the moment, it’s a mere 34 degrees, which begs the age-old running question: shorts or tights? Wear shorts and I’ll freeze my ass off for the first hour. Wear tights and by the end I’m a sweaty mess. [...]

Team Spirit

Some Kind of Help…

Doodles: Are Uncle Jon and Alicia having a baby yet?Me: Not yet. They only just got married a couple of weeks ago. Even if they had a baby right away, it would still take nine months, remember?Doodles: Do you have to be married to have a baby?Me: No, you don’t. But being married first is [...]

Friends Don’t Let Friends Vote Republican

For the record, my parents are Democrats. So maybe I should just send this to Adam’s family:
