I knew I would love golf. In 2006, I spent some birthday money on a decent set of beginner clubs. I went to the driving range a couple of times and did, I thought, pretty well. I didn’t hit very far, but I hit straight. (I didn’t start with new clubs. I picked up a [...]

New rule: No more starting seeds on my own. Home Depot does a lovely job of growing from the same Burpee catalogue, and the cost is roughly the same. Inside:

Looking at the forecast for this weekend, it seems like Mother Nature has come to her senses…or is tied up in a toolshed somewhere while some other, less volatile, mythical thing-doer takes matters in hand.

I have always loved Carrie’s relationship with Big. And oh, it was awful, wasn’t it? All the waiting, and being the other woman, and waiting to find out if she was The One… God, it hurt. It hurt to watch and to see how wonderful they were together and how he was married to women [...]

Sorry, dude. My stylist told me at my last appointment that it’s been discontinued. and you’re the second person to get here looking for it. There are still places to get it online, though — Amazon still had it, last I looked. On the recommendation of Maggie Mason over at Mighty Girl, I’ve switched to [...]
