Monday, May 17, 2010

Guys! It seems like only yesterday that he turned 21 and legally drank for the first time…and it seems like only a year and a half later than that when his first child was born! And two and a half years after that when our car insurance rates finally went down because he was no [...]

yo blo is 3-0!

Sunday, May 17, 2009

Happy Birthday, web-spouse 1.0! You might just finally be old enough to raise children, hold down a real job, and stop shopping for your Paul Frank t-shirts in the children’s department. (Just kidding on that last one…keep doing that! I mean, seriously, they just slap a “small paul” label on it and cut the price [...]

a gentleman caller and the origin of language

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Bassie’s video-game playing friend came over today. But before they cranked up the ole xbox, Bassie wanted to show him something in her room: her language development chart. You see, she and yosefblog had spent their Sunday afternoon making a chart that showed the growth of written language from Hebrew to Phoenician, to Greek, and [...]

What?! I have a blog?!

Monday, January 5, 2009

I know, I know, Happy New Year. Look, AF needs a break, just like ya’ll do. Mine consisted of returning to the Motherland (i.e. Chicago) to visit friends and family.

the message board that time forgot…

Monday, November 10, 2008

There I was today, sitting in a tucked away corner of the only decent coffee shop in Waltham, drinking my latte, with nothing to do but peruse the large message board that lay within my sight line. It was chock full of goodies, like ads for private Japanese tutors and yoga classes. But the more [...]

“Ms. Palin praised the achievement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who lost a long and bitter primary race against Senator Obama, saying that she had left “18 million cracks” in the highest glass ceiling in the land. Then, making an explicit appeal to Ms. Clinton’s disappointed supporters, she said, “It turns out that the women [...]

goin’ to the chapel…

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Dina got married today…to Eli! I know, I know. They’ve had their differences, but I guess he’s finally come around to seeing that if the Queen Bee wants you, it’s inevitable. As for Dillon, she says they’re still on good terms, but the age gap was just too much. They never saw each other, when [...]

af summer movie festival entry #1: secretary

Sunday, June 24, 2007

Well, we all know my affinity for the hot version of James Spader (not the “purposely-let-himself-go-to-prove-that-sex-appeal-is-about-attitude-not-physique” James Spader from Boston Legal), so this was quite a treat in that regard. Regarding the obvious selling point of the film, a supposedly honest and quirky look at the world of dominant/submissive sexuality, I felt mixed. It definitely [...]

AF realization

Saturday, December 30, 2006

what I learned after coming home from a five day vacation: being married with two children takes the time, energy, and emotional output equivalent of seriously dating three people at the same time. The second we got home, I put the kids to bed, and all I kept hearing were things like “you already laid [...]
