The snow in town has melted now. But when we go to the lake there is still some ice on the path to slip on. It makes for some entertaining moments- like when we head out for our walk after John does a leg workout at the gym and he looks up a steep, slippery [...]

The fundraising fashion show on Wednesday was completely and totally awesome. Nobody tripped. Nobody peed on anything (they weren’t supposed to). Tyra didn’t send anyone home in a sobbing heap of MAC facepowder and hairspray. Sure, there was some throaty barking and a chorus of appreciative howling to kick things off… but you have [...]
