I’ve watched Golden Girls since…okay, since the episodes were new. And I always used to think it was so silly when Blanche would want her name in the paper as, “Blanche Deveroux, 35.” Like, why??? Yeah. Now I get it. You can now refer to me as...

The Jaws theme is playing quietly in the background. I’m not even being dramatic: Jaws 2 is on and, despite the fact I’m mad it’s not Jaws 3, I left it on for company. I’ve been MIA for awhile and I’d like to tell you it’s because...

And I’ll be there virtually! Nervously virtually! You know what’s awkward? Me. I’m awkward. My heights of awkwardness are usually attained in front of groups of people, i.e., in college when I had to get up in front of the class and give a...

Where nothing is fun and the pants don’t matter. Well, this has been swell. I don’t even know what to say, other than 1) I’m not running, 2) I’m not creative, and 3) I’m now obsessed with the Revolutionary War. And Hamilton. Also, I have...
