And now, I’m going to San Diego, where instead of arguing with friends over the merits and possible length of the writers’ strike, I’m going to go hang out with my mother for a day. Whee!

Chicago was awesome. The game was ridiculous. Reuniafest was everything I’d hoped for and then some. I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted to see since I was only in town for two and a half days, but I got to see a decent number of y’all, which was great. I didn’t want to ...

One of the brides in the wedding I’m going to in Chicago this weekend (lesbians, not polygamists) emailed all their out of town guests to warn us about the current Transportation Fun Zone that’s been declared in the South Loop. This should be fun.

First, there was the whole issue of the bad timing of my trip to Atlanta. Then when I came back, the cat decided I was a chew toy. Now, we have the trifecta: Disease! All my Atlanta-based relatives came over for brunch on Sunday afternoon, and I got to hold Elias, my 5-month old nephew, ...
