Sandbox paradox

The careful observer will note: that’s no shovel, that’s a mirror. Atsa my monkey!
The other day my sister’s son and I joined my daughter out in her office, a place known to others simply as the backyard sandbox. She received us with barely a nod, so engaged was she in her work filling [...]

Vat am I to do?

A David Hockney-esque collage of vignettes, some forty-eight hours out.
At the dinner table, cradling my son in the crook of my left arm, looking half the time at his latch on the bottle of expressed Mama milk, half the time at the vast gulf of emptiness just beyond his head, the spot where Maxi would [...]

Who says irony is dead?

While making the grim phone call to the vet researching whether and how they schedule a home visit for euthanasia (backstory here), I am put on hold by the receptionist.
Muzak kicks in, and it’s Harry Connick, Jr. singing “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”
I’m just saying that art will never be capable of [...]




    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
