And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

move out and draw fire

Well, you know, watery death imagery.

Maybe I'll change my name to Ophelia, since we need one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yesterday at the dog park I was chatting with a woman, and asked her which dog was hers. "Portia, with the red collar." I said that was a nice dramatic name for a dog. And she said "Yeah, my husband loves the cars."

Porsche.

Yikes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

several Kats (though not Katrinas).

We have Katerina B.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is this a Scientology thing?

Yeah -- they're always in Times Square asking people if they want a "stress test."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Why don't they just call it "Hurricane Crazy-Ass Bitch"?

I think naming a hurricane "Dennis" is just tempting fate.

We have a Buffista cat named Harvey.

Holy shit! Goodnight Moon appears to work.

A few years ago a colleague and I developed a treatment program for families who were having trouble getting their preschoolers to go to sleep at night. Goodnight Moon was part of the treatment. Another part was an individualized computer–generated book in which the child was the protagonist and the story followed the nightly sleep routine that the parents and the child were supposed to follow.

We worked with low income families, and in many cases these were the first two books that the child had ever owned. Kind of depressing. On the other hand, I suppose that these kids could brag that half the books in their home libraries were written about them.
