I always considered my mom odd because she’s not a vegetarian, yet she doesn’t eat meat. Doesn’t like the taste of it. Would rather have her staple: bread and cheese. I’d look at her strangely, spreading cream cheese onto a…
6 Days, 4 Holidays
Break out the champagne. There’s more celebrating to be done. Make that four minor holidays over the course of six days. March 14 – Pi Day March 15 – Ides of March March 17 – St. Patrick’s Day March 19…
No More Apologies
Eliot Spitzer, John Edwards, Tiger Woods, Jesse James. Is society telling us to remain faithful, but it’s not in our human nature? I think cheating is pretty disgusting, but I’m also a conservative American. Can you imagine living in France…
Holidays, Leprechauns, and Other Oddities
I don’t think I ever realized that there were three minor holidays (Pi Day, Ides of March, and St. Patrick’s Day) over the course of four days. Insanity, eh? I was chatting with someone in line at the cafe today….
Fatty

Retirement, You Elude Me
Well the top of the house numbers did not work out as I had anticipated. My CPA did not deliver the quintuple digit refund I was expecting. After working so hard, I wonder when this will ever end. I mean,…
I’m a Numbers Girl in Disguise
If I were a numbers girl, I would’ve taken Math 1A, 1B (challenging math) at Berkeley versus 16A, 16B (basic math). If I were a numbers girl, I wouldn’t have almost flunked out of Physics 8A. College was so long…
Bells Will Be Ringing
I had the pleasure of bumping into my ex-boyfriend Dave last night at District. I was there with Dean and a bunch of my friends when we saw him and his girlfriend making their way through the crowd. I forget…
