I reject this.
I’m looking at my grad school’s evaluation of my undergraduate transcript and their assessment of what prerequisites I need to take before beginning coursework for my degree. There are three classes I need to take that I knew I’d have to, and I’m fine with that.
But they want for me to take a semester of “college algebra” (scare quotes mine). I didn’t...

One of the best things about dogs
Every time you come home, they greet you like you’re the risen Christ. Once when I picked Silas up from the kennel after a long trip, he jumped in a circle so high in the air that he fell over. He recovered well, though.

This is the worst advice column since Slate ran...
Brides Magazine: fire your advice columnist.
“One of my bridesmaids is constantly complaining about how much she hates the dress, while all the others like it. What should I do?”

Silas, Watchdog and Nature Lover
I’ve been leaving the patio door cracked open so Silas can sit out there. He loves to chew on leaves and keep an eye out for intruding neighbor dogs. I found Silas out there yesterday gnawing on Mr. Squirrel. He’d taken his plush squirrel on the patio to enjoy the outdoors with him. Si was so happy that even though he was lying down, I could see from inside that his tail was sticking...

Juicing!

Things are happening!
I got into grad school! It’s been a busy two weeks. I got engaged, signed a lease with Matt, was accepted to grad school, and bought a juicer. Lots of big life changes happening around here.
