Meandering anecdotes and an occasional incisive comment, courtesy of an overeducated, feminist former-professional, who is continually outsmarted by her overly-gifted children and genius spouse and who seeks refuge in books, cocktails, and the occasional Xanax.

International Day of the Lola
Unbelievable as it may sound, Lola turns nine today. As the Sober Husband said mournfully, "She's halfway to eighteen."
All praise the Queen of the Passive-Aggressives (as beloved commenter Silliyak once dubbed her)!
I remember your wit better than you do. I quoted you the other day, when I was describing on the phone a really spectacularly insensitive thing the Sober Husband said to me, and I used a comment you once left, "It's so special to have a spouse who always knows the right thing to say, like a Hallmark card."

"Beloved"? REALLY? I'm touched, also forgetful, I don't remember writing that.
