I read this post by David Callahan, who wrote a book called The Cheating Culture, and has a Weblog to discuss (and, of course, promote) it.
There are dozens of comments on it thus far. Some of them refer to a paler shade of cheating — that is, cheating is OK since it’s prevalent in that [...]

Michael over Burrard St.
I’d decided it was time to take the whole crew out of the apartment.
After a full morning of Thomas the Tank Engine, both on DVD and video, Maddy was so restless she became a whirling dervish and whirled right through my apartment with reckless abandon, leaving nothing standing in her wake. The [...]
