9/10

September 11, 2009

September 11, 2009. I am reposting this from last year. A rerun, if you will, although last year, I posted it in July. Because that’s when I think of September 11th, in July, when it’s hot and gorgeous and the kids are running around carefree. (ok, so maybe they’re playing the Wii. But still, carefree.) […]

Some People Don’t Love Themselves Enough

September 9, 2009

Best gay friend John called me on Tuesday night to let me know that he was having a stroke. Apparently, he had a very bad headache and he was sure that a stroke was imminent. Like most normal people, he wanted to spend his last few moments on earth with me. Unfortunately, his timing wasn’t […]

Don’t Be Alarmed, But I Think Someone’s Dead

Fashion Plate

September 6, 2009

We are at the dacha for the long weekend, and papa modeled some new fashion. He wore a tank tops that the less sophisticated call “a wife beater”. He came to dinner dressed like that and while the rest of us were grateful for the appetite suppressant and decided then and there to start our […]

Update

September 4, 2009

So here’s the thing. I’m struggling a little, and when you’re writing a humor blog, that’s apparently not great news. Please do not worry, I’m ok and everyone in my family is ok. Well, except for papa, who this week decided that he wants to take my daughter horseback riding because apparently what I need […]

The Illiterati

September 2, 2009

When I lived in Russia, and before I started school, I had an illiterate nanny who took care of me while my parents worked. One day she arranged to have me baptized behind my Jewish father’s back, because she did not want to be taking care of a child possibly possessed by Satan. I don’t […]
