It’s a pretty day. Brian has already left for the all-day Bill Atkins seminar, which I am not attending because I am a bootyfull bride. But as that isn’t until 2:30, I am all dressed up to head to the gym. I’m going to walk part of the way there. How about a to-do list? […]

Ok I know I only visit McDonald’s once or twice a year but seriously? NEVER AGAIN. Oy. Three simple things Americans could do to stop the obesity epidemic: 1. Hey, exercise or something.

They pulled it out in the 11th inning off a winning double by backup catcher Yorvit Cutehead Torrealba, scoring Barry Bonds, who wasn’t even in the lineup for the first ten frames.
