My dad’s best friend has been inviting him to go on a silent retreat for at least fifteen years. My dad has promised to go a few times, then backed out at the last second. This year he promised to go and try to maintain silence. He was pretty worried about what he would do […]

Maybe this is a sign of depression, but I ordered 34 books last night on Amazon for my kids. Lance thinks I am crazy and started comparing my new kids’ books obsession with my Snoopy obsession. I went on and on about how each and every one of these books is important to the well […]

Dear Lord, Help me with Gluttony. No Joke. Our friend, Bryan Caswell, one of Food and Wine’s top chefs in the country, is opening a new restaurant. We’ve been dying the try Stella Sola and we made it in tonight for the last night of mock service. Bryan wanted us to try a little of […]
