By Lucy There is a theory for human evolution called the “drunk monkey” theory. It posits that humans are genetically drawn to alcohol because, back when we were primates, the fruit that contains the most sugars and nutrients are also the ones that overripen and ferment quickly. So we learned to equate alcohol with nutrition.…

By Lucy The first thing I did on Sunday was make yogurt. So, I’ve been really looking forward to buying Slate River Dairy for 2 reasons. The first is that they sell their products in old timey glass bottles, which is important to me and my quest to avoid single use plastics. I love yogurt,…

By Lucy Paul is the first to notice that I’ve completely shattered. “Hello, Earth to Lucy. You’re quiet.” Of course Paul would notice. He’s the person I talk to the most, currently, partially because he’s also my editor. To an occasionally annoying degree; sometimes I’ll log on to my novel and write a couple paragraphs,…

By Lucy I lost interest in my gentleman caller already. I hadn’t really decided what my interest was in him… there was some chemistry there, but I’m sure I don’t want to engage in another relationship. And there was something about him that set off red flags in my mind. I’m sure I recall someone…

By Lucy They cancelled Colbert. I almost started crying when I heard. It was like hearing someone had died. I screamed, confusing everyone in the lunch room, then I went outside and screamed some more.
