Four generations of my family (of which I am the third) would not exist were it not for the courage and strength of one woman: my great-grandmother, Azneve Ohanian. As a 9-year-old girl, she was marched through the deserts of Der-el-Zor with her infant brother strapped to her back, while the rest of her villagers were raped, mutilated and massacred by Turkish soldiers.

Derek: Um, babe? Why is there a photo of Mario Lopez on the dresser? The Girl: Because I like having pictures of you around, sweetie. Derek: .....<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ESQUIREwithin/~4/pv0yJ2V-u_c" height="1" width="1"/>

Have you noticed a serious mood change as the temperature drops? Are you sleeping more? Feeling lethargic? Craving sweets and starchy foods? Have you stepped on a kitten in the last four weeks? No? Just me? Sigh.Yesterday I was completely worthless. Pinched a nerve in my neck and was feeling six kinds of cranky -- pretty much all day. I think sometimes Boston makes me feel stir crazy.

I'm the first to admit it: I really did not see that coming. Pity that Coakley had the resources to outspend Capuano in the primary. I feel like this would have turned out differently with him on today's ballot. Two years of Scott Brown?
