Fat Blog

August 23, 2009

I forgot to pack my swimsuit for our visit to Courtney’s parents, and talk of the pool started up and I started backing out.  My shorts, you see, were a bit tight thanks to the summer of travel food and happy happy 4-martini evenings watching the recommended 30 Rock (I miss my Arrested Development) and [...]
