Saturday is the longest day of the year. When Heather told me this today, I thought it was a setup for a joke, like “your momma’s so fat.” We then spent the next 30 minutes making up punchlines.

Personally, I was raised in a backgammon family. But Wikipedia says that millions of people like the chess. And if you’re one of them, you should check out Chesspark.

Yesterday Heather and I were walking the pups through Golden Gate Park when we came upon Stow Lake. Heather noticed that, if you rent a proper rowboat (instead of the little paddle boats), dogs are allowed. Why not? Before I knew it, we were in the mucus-colored lake, Heather rowing Bug, Chieka, and I around. [...]
