May 22, 2009 by WendyB

Yesterday, Henry pointed out a page in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times. “Mom, look!” Unfortunately, even highly literate dogs like Henry can’t resist lying down on whatever you’re trying to read.

Wrinkly Slut, Part Deux

May 11, 2009 by WendyB

I recently mentioned that someone left a comment on my blog that referred to me as a “wrinkly slut.” (The comment included the demand: “Explain yourself.” Um, what?
