There is a troublesome moment when you discover your heart slipped through the cracks and went and fell in love again. The moment is fleeting, typically some tiny instance the other person remembers as an afterthought, if at all, a moment that leaves you shaken and smiling to yourself on the bus and wondering how [...]

5:42 pm: Voicemail from mom
“Hey Krissy, it’s Mom. I just wanted to let you know that Big Papi won’t be needing your services. He just hit a home run and JD Drew just hit another one right behind him so we’re doing pretty well. And Youk’s back and he’s got a hit too. But Big [...]

Six months ago I skipped to the polls in high heels. I bounced down Jones Street to the SFGreenClean polling station to cast my ballot for historic change and what I perceived to be a new direction for our country. I proudly wore my red “I voted” sticker all day and into the next. [...]

I hear you are coming off the bench tomorrow. Now, I am no MD. I’m no psychiatrist – just a fan with your best interests at heart. I realize I probably shouldn’t be diagnosing you without at least a phone consultation, but it’s not my fault – blame Tito. He won’t respond to my letters, [...]

Every day I take the Caltrain to work. My routine is fairly consistent. I tend to miss at least one of two possible buses to the station. On good days days I am able to stop at my favorite coffee shop before boarding. Most days I arrive at the Palo Alto station without incident – [...]

There is nothing quite like apartment searching. Yes, it’s stressful. Yes, it’s time consuming and emotionally draining looking for what boils down to an 800-square foot space of sheet rock and hardwood. But, in my opinion, where you choose to rest your head at night is one of the most important decisions you can make [...]
What we want…a work in progress

Earlier this week a male friend asked me to collaborate with him on a start up venture certain to change the world, certain to make him/us money. Naturally I was interested in learning the finer details of his surefire plan. I like helping people. I like money.
While I cannot reveal the scope of the business, [...]

It’s been awhile since I watched a film that made me a bit uncomfortable. But Eagle vs. Shark is one that is endearing and honest and depressingly funny. It strikes a nerve with anyone who has felt they never quite fit in, anyone who has been in love or thinks they have.
Yesterday our Sunday Night [...]

Dear Tito,
I am following up with a letter I sent April 15. I never heard back from you …
I want to assure you that my original offer to serve as the Red Sox’s motivational speaker still stands. In case you may have skimmed over this part – this is a pro bono job. While you [...]
