Here’s what I did today. I appear, in this post, to switch back and forth between present and past tense. I don’t know why I do this, and I don’t care. I just don’t want you to think I’m not aware of it.
7:30 AM: Woke up after a largely sleepless night, in spite of my [...]
Making lists is boring. We leave, please God, for our annual road trip to good old St. Louie in approximately three weeks. I figured since all I’m really good for these days is sitting in one place, I could get a nice big jump start on the lists of things to bring (plural listS because [...]
Want to know what never, ever stops going through my head? This:
Hope that works. If it didn’t, here’s the link, so it can go through your head as well. My son is ADDICTED to this video. Addicted. He will sit and watch, and has sat and watched, for an hour or more. Bear in mind [...]

So I just finally read Dave Barry’s Year in Review, and while parts of it weren’t so funny, parts of it were freakin’ hilarious, and I do feel mighty uplifted after all that laughing.
