25 And Over →
If you’re over 25 (and frankly, 20), it’s probably time to start acting like a grown-up. Does that mean you have to wear suits and limit your recreational activity to crosswords? Of course not. But it does mean you should think a little bit more about living graciously. I found this great list of 20 good practices for grown-ups, and it’s worth taking to heart. Highlights include:...

Top Three Animal-Related Mistakes
1. Once I had a labrador who hung himself by attempting to jump over a fence while tied to that same fence.
2. I had a hamster that nested in some horsehair, but the horsehair wrapped around its leg, cutting off all circulation to the limb. A microsurgeon delicately removed the hair, and the leg fell off. After that, I had a three-legged hamster. Her name was Juliet.
3. One time I tried to...

I was at a restaurant with some friends and found myself singing the theme song to “Keyes on Van Nuys” (a local car dealership) aloud. There was no prompt. It was just me belting “Keyes! Keyes! Keyes! Keyes on Van Nuys!” mid-conversation, like some sad little robot who’s wires had just short-circuited. It bothers me that a part of my brain is being used to store this information...
