  • Eddie Izzard and the Sin of Envy

    Saturday night I braved the cold and went out to see Eddie Izzard at the Fox. (And by “the cold,” I mean the Mini’s thermometer read -2 degrees, and by “braved” I mean I’m actually noticing my MS is affected by extreme cold. With the heat, I have to be out in the heat for…

  • At the Fox waiting for Eddie izzard

    I love the Fox. This is the stained glass on the bathroom ceiling.

  • Snow. (Unh.) What Is It Good For?

    What has it done for me lately? Snow Day at home. A lot of TeddyJ stayed home today, because Saint Louis had our official first significant snow accumulation.

Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I resolve to remain youthful. 3. Did anyone close…

  • I Which I Expose My Booze

    My liquor is stored in a wine rack on the top shelf of my pantry. At times the number of bottles exceeds the slots and the Baileys must sit next to the cereal, which bothers me. (Mom said Technical Father would breakfast on popcorn with beer poured on it like cereal. Or (it occurs to…
