Tomorrow I will be attending my very first Oregon football game. I’m a little afraid, given my predisposal to loving college football, that I’m about to get hooked on the Ducks. Quick, someone remind me of how obnoxious Pac-10 rivalries are!

So there’s this article about how you can tell if a mother is stressed out or prone to depression if she cradles her baby to the right. After an initial muscle memory refresher, I realized I cradle babies (admittedly, not my own) to the left. Phew. But then it got me thinking. Could this be […]

I really don’t wanna get all geezery on your ass and start ranting about the pending downfall of our society and its antecedent in the laziness and stupidity of the American Youth (by the way, the preceding introduction is usually a sign that I’m about to anyway), but I can’t help but think that the […]

I’m about to jump all over this bandwagon. If for no other reason than it saves me the daily irksomeness of GTB leaving half drunk bottles of water all over the house and in my car, not to mention the rage-inducing annoyance at the half-empty (or half-full?) bottles he puts back in the refrigerator.
