All and All and All

This past week Shane Allison has been conducting an interview with me for the upcoming "Strange" issue of MiPO. It's been fun, but I've been caught off guard with how much trouble I've had with some of the questions. The "What do you think of X?" type questions are easy, I have an opinion on just about everything. But the personal questions, the "reb" questions are much trickier. For instance, "What would people be surprised to know about Reb Livingston?" The hell if I would know. Usually when people say they're surprised to know something about me, it's fairly mundane. "Oh, I thought "Reb" was a man." or "Oh, I assumed you were a rabbi." or "I had no idea you had such an extensive monkey testicle collection!"

Sure, I can come up with a few things that would surprise most people, but it's not like I'd ever willingly share those things.


Saturday night Gideon left the state for the first time. For those of you not familiar with the D.C. area, it's not nearly as big of a deal as it sounds. We went to the Buy Buy Baby in Rockville, MD to find a particular baby swing I want. Of course they didn't have it so I had to order it online.

Anything to distract this kid. It's 3:20 p.m. and I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I have baby vomit on my thigh and I stink. Kiss me.
