What happened to Kristin Smart may never be fully known, but all indications are that…

Cards on the table, here. Along with the other stuff that’s on the table: crumbs from breakfast, one of my kid’s feet, yesterday’s math sheet smeared with buttery fingerprints, and a random gift bag to be filed away for re-use.

We’ve cried over the injustice of a missing college student in San Luis Obispo, we’ve laughed at Leah Remini cursing, we’ve thought about God with Pete Holmes and comedy with Jason Bateman. We’ve listened to thousands of hours of podcasts, from true crime, to news, to homicidal doctors and sociopathic socialites. We’ve lived through being…

If we were to make the perfect woman, we might make her a gorgeous actress from mixed heritage who has multiple awards for producing and acting. We might give her the patience of a saint when it comes to letting people she vehemently disagrees with have just as much of a say in what’s real…
