Stuff I found while looking around
- A video shot entirely on the iPhone 4S – Open Letter to that 53% Guy: “And, believe it or not, there are people out there even tougher than you. Why don’t we let them set the bar, instead of you? Are you ready to work 80 hours a week? 100 hours? Can you hold [...]
New Tunes – When Saints Go Machine
This is a four-man electro-pop group from Copenhagen. I can’t find much information on the band, but I guess it doesn’t matter when this music is this damn fun. Here’s the video for the same song:
I eat deductibles for breakfast
Ok, where were we. Right. I’m lying in bed last night, my right foot elevated and covered in an ice pack when I realize OH MY GOD, there is an entire other half of my body that I could potentially screw up! A left hip and a left ankle! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ME ALONE [...]
I am an orthopedic nightmare
You know I’m just making up these injuries, right? I need content for my blog. It’s the same with the kids. Leta and Marlo don’t actually exist. I make up the stories, and the kids in the photos are actors. When we hired Leta we were like SCORE, because how much does that kid look [...]
The old lady blog

There has [...]
Finding a problem where there is no problem
This morning as I drove Leta to school I looked in the rear view mirror to see a somber mood twisting the line of her mouth. It seemed much more sinister than a simple pout, so at a stop light I turned around, touched her leg and asked her if she was okay. She stuttered. [...]
Working with gravity
You runners may be total nutters, but damn are you ever supportive. I’ve received so much advice concerning form and diet and pace and recommendations for playlists. Can I just give you a big, tight hug and say thank—what? I’m invading your personal space? Why are you furiously washing your hands? Oh, god. Now you’re [...]
The face of making a difference
A few months ago after I returned from Bangladesh and posted some of the portraits I had taken, artist Kristina Havens came up with a brilliant idea. She had painted a portrait of Leta that I featured in my Daily Style section, and many of you commissioned work after witnessing such talent. She was inspired [...]
