Many thanks to Chris at McSweeney’s for publishing my list: “Easy-Listening Songs From The 70’s, Rewritten By The Artists After They Have Had Kids.” You have made me the happiest housewife in Orange County.

I’m so vain…I probably think I’m top recommended because I’m good or something
Not to be all talking about myself or anything…oh, too late, but I happened to noticed “Alive in Wonderland” is the top recommended article on ocregister.com! Not that I was looking.

A sort of homecoming and kind of a post
I am home. We had a blast. Too tired to tell you more now. I just posted (below) things I wrote during the trip. Pure torture not having access to wireless 24/7. I am hopeless. “A sort of homecoming” by U2
