It was right there… All I had to do was to reach over the counter and take it… To begin with, I was not at my best. We had been in the hospital all week and sleep was not really a thing anymore. They had finally released us and sent us home with a prescription […]

A Troubling Detail in the DCF Murder Case
Last Friday, a terrible, unthinkable tragedy occurred less than an hour from my home. It happened to someone that some of my family knew and respected. At 4:45, as she was leaving the office to go home to her husband and two children, Lara Sobel was brutally murdered with a high caliber hunting rifle by […]
The Mystery of Who Peed on Me
It was a dark and stormy night. 6:30 AM. The sky was dark and my mood was stormy. I was asleep. Suddenly, I was awoken by the sounds of gibberish. “Bwaaaa naaa, bee boop bwaaaa!” I blinked my eyes open slowly. Very slowly. My head was taking a pounding harder than a colt in Massachusetts. […]

What My Two-Year-Old Stole From Victoria’s Secret
We had a pretty busy day at the Tenor Dad household yesterday. Ruby had her school pictures and, because this is 1978, we will know what they look like in just a few short weeks or months. But it was not only school picture day! It was also the day that we had to take […]
My Car Got Broken Into
My car got broken into. And by “broken into” I mean that Edward unlocked one of the doors on his way out and I didn’t catch it, so nothing was actually broken. They just opened up the back door and helped themselves to my stuff. And it happened right in my parking lot outside of […]
