I dare you to show me something cuter:
I flew down to San Diego for the weekend to celebrate my cousin Marisa’s daughter Leah’s first birthday. She is so flipping adorable, it’s kind of ridiculous. Such a good kid, too. Here she is with my Uncle Joe, his new puppy Ajax and yours truly:

In Utah, I met my cousin’s 8-month-old daughter, Leah, for the first time. She is flipping adorable. She’s a happy baby (which my mother pointed out, ad nauseum, each time she grabbed her little feet and accidentally assumed what is known as the “happy baby” yoga pose) and always very inquisitive. At one restaurant, she […]

I happen to think that in my lifetime, we'll either run out of oil or experience a catastrophic environmental disaster, resulting in the end to society as we know it.

"The word that allows yes, the word that makes no possible.
The word that throws a window open after the final door is closed.
The word upon which all adventure, all exhilaration, all meaning, all honor depends.

The word no mirror can turn around.
In the beginning was the word and that word was CHOICE."
– Tom Robbins
