Shark Dog? I’ll Show You Shark Dog!
We are hosting guest dog Molly over winter break: She is from South Carolina and is none too pleased with being required to go out into the cold to do her business, even though this has been a mild Buffalo winter. She complains about this frequently to The Management. She is a tiny little daschund and could not me more different from our dear, […]
The Wimminfolk Are Angry
One of the top searches on Oooh Something Shiny this week, number two behind Maya Sieber, in fact, was: “My husband does nothing every Christmas.” C’mon guys. Step it up. And ladies, if you want to share responsibilities, you can’t be all control-freaky. Your way and the wrong way are not the only options
Cops: Drunk tried driving hurt deer to NY hospital

People With ADD Should Not Go to Pier One
Not that I’ve actually been diagnosed or anything, unless you include every layperson I encounter. There is WAY too much going on in Pier One to focus on any one thing. It is, however, great fodder for Awkward Photojournalism. . I went in there with high hopes and walked out with almost nothing. I did […]
The Rise of the Bonsai Baby
I was discussing this Pinterest picture online the other day. There was quite the uproar in the comments section about mixing babies, glass and hard candy, but anything in the interest of a cute picture, right? The commentary was all very funny. People are quite strident. And fun to poke. I just found the picture baffling because when my kids […]
Sharkdog, You Will Be Missed
So we lost our doggy Akeesha on Monday. She was 14, so she lived a good long life, but we still miss her fiercely. Here are some of the posts I have written about her: Sharkdog Doghenge Doghenge Revisted Doghenge with a Vengeance – Henge Harder Sharkdog is not a morning dog She’s been going […]
No. No, That’s NOT The Best Of The Seventies. At All.
I heard a “Best of the Seventies” station at the dentist the other day. It was an actual XM Station though, not Muzak, so there was no excuse. They played Abba, Neil Sedaka, Paper Lace, and whatever that Do The Hustle song is. This is NOT the best of the seventies. The best music of […]
Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Arms Are Not Too Tiny To Hold a Lightsaber
I went to Michael’s with my daughter. You would think that a craft store would be really boring, but there is a kid’s section where I found this really great light saber that flashed and made cool noises. It seemed like the only logical thing to when I was finished with it was to give […]
So, I Expected Zoe Keating to be Amazing and Talented.
I didn’t expect funny and engaging. She performed Sunday at Annie DiFranco’s Asbury Hall at Babeville. It’s a great venue. You can see more about it in my blog post: The Five Best Things About Living in Buffalo. It wass and intimate setting, probably not much more than 200 people there. I managed to sit in […]
This Is My Companion Apple
I have been carrying this same apple back and forth in my lunch for a week, but I never eat it. It’s become something of a pet. Every day, I think, this will be the day that I eat my apple, but when lunch comes along, it doesn’t happen. I’m an apple procrastinator. Sometimes it’s […]
