#TBT A Knight to Remember
On Thursdays I bring back a post from the archives. This is from December 2009. So, about Medieval Times. It was an epic birthday for Jafta. The entire time we were there I kept thinking about the part in The Cable Guy when they go to Medieval Times. I think Jafta's excitement made Jim Carrey's enthusiasm look like mere indifference. And you know Jafta showed up in full costume. I really had no desire to do a birthday at Medieval Times, but I also had no desire to plan any sort of . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Travis
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .
Things I’ve learned in 40 years of living
I turned 40 two weeks ago, a milestone that felt pretty big for me. I confided in a few friends about the angst I had, and most of them disclosed that they had felt the same way leading up to 40, but then after the Big Day, it wasn’t a big deal. I’ve had that experience as well. I’m settling into this new decade of life comfortably, and have been reflecting on the gifts of being older . . . namely, having the life experience to learn from my mistakes. As I’ve contemplated some of the wisdom I . . .
Bachelor Recap: A Date for Bimbos
When Sarah was visting last week we asked our readers what we should talk about for our videos, and overwhelmingly everone asked us to recap the Bachelor again. Unfortunately, since Sarah moved, the distance makes that impossible to do every week. But my local friend Samantha and I decided to give it a go. (I’m sorry, Sarah! We only did it once! It didn’t mean anything!) As you will notice, we were quite comfy with our sweats and some wine – so comfy that I might have forgotten to focus the . . .

Everyone has been asking Sarah and I to do another recap of The Bachelorette. We’re sorry to disappoint . . . but we are sharing what our current tv obsessions are, and what we are watching (or not watching.) . . .

Why I protest police brutality
While I was in New York last month, I had the chance to attend two protests against police brutality and racial bias. I wanted to explain why I attended them, and what the purpose was behind them. I attended the marches because I believe that there is a pervasive pattern of overreaction and brutality against people of color. This does not mean that I think every cop is bad. My sister was a cop for many years, as was my brother-in-law. I understand the heavy and real risk of being in this line . . .
