So, it’s been nine months since my baby was born… and I still have about twelve pounds to lose. All right in my belly. I’m like a skinny person with a huge belly-fat tumor. I shouldn’t joke about such things I suppose, but I am considering making some extra Christmas cash by joining the staff [...]

There’s a laundry place in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco called The Missing Sock. But really, The Missing Sock would be a great name for a childnre’s clothing store. They could sell things like single socks to match the ones your daughter keeps yanking off and throwing in the middle of the street.

My Mom: Did you hear about Lindsay? Me: What? Mom: Well, she’s run off. To Bolivia. Me: You mean… she’s gone on a vacation. Mom: By herself. For two weeks! Me: You know… her son is a year old now. Mom: Oh, I didn’t think he was that old. Me: He is. You know, Mom… [...]
