Last weekend was my Aunt Honora’s wedding. It was a fine affair. Splendid weather, good food, the chance to see my grandmother and other New Jersey family folks, and even the miscall stylings of a belligerent DJ who decided to cater to the 8% of attendees under the age of 30 and treat a noon […]
When I went to Ireland with Dan and Luke back in March, there were several must-do things we had on the list. Ranking high was drinking copious amounts of Guinness, since much of it is brewed in downtown Dublin. As soon as Dan and I got off the plane and hurled our luggage into our […]

I’ve only been OK with it in two instances, and both those movies were named Jackass and it was only because the whole theater was talking shit and having […]
The new member of the Man Card Membership is Molly’s cousin Jon. For years the guy has dutifully driven his fiance from Kentucky to DC in order (usually) to haul furniture either to or from the house based on the needs of my mother-in-law.
