A Day Out

Okay, so it was a day taking bus after bus to get the kid to a couple appointments. I was out. It counts. We actually had some fun. Spent too much money, but what else is new? My kid deserves dinner out once in a while. At odd moments I tried to plan, but I […]

Have you ever thought about that one inevitable line on nearly any form? You know the one. Sex: M  F Odds are you know the answer–and it’s there. You joke “yes, please!” or “as often as possible!” but you also circle the letter that applies. Imagine it wasn’t that simple. From here: Imagine you’re me,
