While visiting family, IP swung by a used bookstore and picked up a few reads. Most notably, he picked up Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. The copy that he lent me about five years ago is at my parents’ house, in my older brother’s former bedroom. Seeing the new copy, I exclaimed, “Honey, [...]
Editor’s Note: To those who are actually thinking about writing and sending a letter like this to people who think they’re invited: DON’T. Read this here.
Hi! What’s it been? Eighteen years, right? Wow, I haven’t talked to you in so freaking long. That’s, like, nearly two decades! What’s up in [...]
We watched as the dad carried his infant daughter toward the swings. He carried her face forward so that she could see the world, and her legs kicked and she gurgled enthusiastically as the swings came into sight. IP and I were silent at our bench as the dad sat down on the swing, babe [...]

My dress is on its way. My first fitting is set for a day that I was going to take off regardless.
(Holy hell; our [...]
April 15 is not only tax day, but the day I will officially let myself think about the wedding in any great detail. I am neither anticipating nor dreading this day; my idea is just to get as much done as possible before my business travel kicks in for the summer. If I have most [...]
So was my reaction when, with 800 meters to go in the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile run, some tourists decided to dash across the street in front of me and few other runners. The mother and preschooler made it across, giggling the whole while; the father was less lucky, pushing the stroller and baby [...]
