They wanted to share their trick-or-treating adventures with you all. I’m sorry about the [...]

The part where Neil Patrick Harris said “I’m voting because I fell in love, and I want it to matter” actually made me well up. (Of course, I also busted a gut at “this doesn’t make any fucking sense,” “across… below… this,” and “is there time for me to make [...]

Sorry is easy; it’s goodbye that’s the hardest word.

O’Mama and I are attending an English teacher conference this weekend. Yesterday was the first day. Because we arrived a bit too late to make the first session of workshops (my fault; I missed the exit), we spent a little time browsing in the main hall.
