The first time we went, he lent me his newest, best pair of boots. Last weekend, he had me try the old ones, which strangled my feet. So when Diego stopped at Mtn Mike's, across the street from the Squaw Valley parking lot, to rent a board, I

Saw this on the sidewalk around the corner: That's worse than a spiderweb. These things are too fragile.

When he was almost finished, Richard wet a towel, patted it on my head and grabbed a fistful of my hair. "Gotta add some moisture," he said. "And I can see where the weight is in your hair." He kept grabbing fistfuls of my hair, all

I've had about 32 roommates in my life, including a narcoleptic, an engaged couple, a Chinese Communist and a male prostitute. I've dealt with some interesting things, but all my roommates had to put up with my quirks and personal failings too. Number 1 – or at

We have a greasy burrito place in our neighborhood, Rancho Grande. It's not really good for anything but drunk food. I've pretty much only ever gotten burritos there when it was late. Last night, walking back from my other date, I'd had a couple

You know that outpouring of emotion and public tributes we saw after Steve Jobs died? I think there would be even more of that if we lost Ira Glass. I mean, so many of us make it through week only by hearing the soothing, practiced humility of his voice. I

I had a pretty awful dinner tonight. I microwaved some instant pad thai and tossed in some frozen shrimp. Yesterday at the farmers market I bought some swiss chard and had these aspirations of sauteeing it, but was feeling... ugh... today. So I ended up with slimy, stringy two-minute pad
