by Laura Everybody loves a bargain. The evils of procrastination have often led me to discover some amazing online deals and search tools (and to waste time posting about them). Here’s a few of the best:

Evacuate the Dance Floor
by Laura With all of the rain we’ve been having, Harold’s desire to get out of the house has increased to the point where “International Folk Dance Lessons” somehow appeared on our iCal for Thursday.

My first competitive race

I’ve voted before, but it’s always been in New York City, where the Democrats outnumber Republicans so much that the only real suspense was whether I would remember how to use the antique voting machine, or at least figure it out in [...]

Spotted on Halloween…
by Laura …a disappointed reveler dressed as a carpenter, getting his hammer and tools premptively taken away by the police. …a respectable ode to the Thriller video, with a team of about twenty well-choreographed students, in full costume. …a kid dressed as a ghost, distressed by someone asking him if he was KKK. Don’t worry, kid. Anyone [...]
