We’ve all seen or at least heard about that awful 1996 Fox show, When Animals Attack, right? Well, it’s not often that one gets the privilege of having one’s own dog star in the remake. This morning was quite the adventure in dog parenting. First, Stella wakes up Jen at 5am. The only times she […]

This afternoon I was hungry. I intended to go the the 1st-floor kitchen to get a spoon to eat the yogurt in my fridge. I went wandering. The mailroom is on the 2nd floor. I found myself in the 2nd-floor kitchen. I saw a plate with two slices of banana bread on it. I grabbed […]
