One Big Happy Family

Filed in Daily, Pittsburgh, 20 June 2008, 9:01 am by

I’ll admit it - in the mornings, I’m a bit of a lollygagger. I’m supposed to be at work at 8, but this morning I just couldn’t bring myself to roll out of my comfy, cozy bed until 7:25, therefore missing the bus at 7:38. I was forced to take the bus at 7:48, but […]

That what I says

A woman who could be Lily Tomlin’s twin, if Lily were shorter and more shriveled, sits at the front of the bus. She’s wearing a tan suede jacket with fur lined trim and two knotted-rope ankle bracelets under white tights. Glancing across the aisle, she recognizes a friend. The friend is stout, her face buried […]

The Carnegie Librarian Knows All

Filed in Daily, Pittsburgh, 16 April 2008, 7:15 pm by

A woman stands at the check-out counter at the Carnegie Library, arms full of books about how to have a cheap, yet dazzling, wedding. The woman behind the counter takes one look at the books, clucks her tongue, and shakes her head.
“Oh, honey,” she says wisely, “elope.”

Let us now praise nebby men

Filed in Daily, Pittsburgh, 1 April 2008, 10:32 am by

My boyf and I ride the bus into downtown together almost every morning. Today we managed to find two seats close to each other and, after sitting down, began talking about random things – plans for the rest of the week, what to have for dinner tomorrow night – topics that would make it clear […]
