Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, I think you're supposed to be filming Noah for YouTube. That's modern post-dentist parenting, right?

Yes. Then you get to go on the Ellen show.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

the unions are out there in the demonstrations. As are the Packers.

Yay! I guess I have a NFL team of which to be a fan. (What? It's not like I was getting any joy following the Lions.)

An interesting profile on Grant Achatz, chef at Alinea, considered the best restaurant in the US. I didn't know he's got a new place opening in Fulton Market (they've already got a waiting list of 15,000 people to get tickets, not reservations).

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm watching a commercial on tv right now urging people to call their legislators about Walker's bullshit move.

Love that the packers are out.

I had a friend down there protesting yesterday and another one down there today.

I think I broke the CV axle in my van. I just had it towed to the shop. I don't even want to think about how much this will cost.
