This blog is about the balancing act that I must attempt each and every day in order to not suck too badly at any given version of me. Most often, I’m left dangling off the tightrope by my pinky.

    • Oh. Okay! Good idea, honey. A crocolog is an animal that I personally discovered and named on a trip to Belize. It’s a stealth beast that floats just below the surface of the water. It disguises itself as a crocodile but is much more dangerous in that it brings deep and bitter disappointment every time you encounter one.

    • It’s quite possible! You know, when I’m hiring I always ask the person I’m interviewing if he or she likes chocolate. I swear I don’t hold it against them if they don’t. But their answer does give me a glimpse into their soul!

      Pam – have you tried Madre chocolate? I think it tastes better because the guys who make it are good-looking. (Just a theory.)
