Our new Olympic champion has the most iconic hair since Dorothy Hamill. #AlysaLiu

I left the men's figure skating practice streaming on Peacock while I was in another room. The SCREEEEAAAAAAAM suddenly coming from the TV alerted me that Ilia Malinin had arrived at the practice session.

I’m so relieved the team event is over. My nerves canNOT take another nailbiter like that one.

A brunette woman in an amazing 70s red plaid skirt and white sweater reads a book to a toddler girl in green footy pajamas. The child is facepalming. I don’t remember why. This was a very long time ago.

Two shots of a silver light switch plate of a chef. The switch is placed in an, um, very suggestive spot, and the headings β€œSad Chef” and β€œHappy Chef” show him turned off and turned on.

My mom had this light switch plate for years and never understood why Bill and I thought it was so funny. And now it’s in our kitchen.

In 2025 I fell down badly on the self-promo due to a lot of offline issues. This year, I'm trying to get back on track. Looking for some spooky winter reads? I've got you.
