Mary-Lynn comes to the west coast via Canada and New York. Assessment continues on whether the move from Manhattan to Menlo Park has done permanent damage. When she's not engaged in random acts of middle management, she's at the bookstore looking for Hello/OK/Heat/Now magazine covers of Posh and Becks or obsessing over just why Tivo thinks she should be watching so very much American Chopper or bemoaning the relative lack of text messaging going on in this country. She would like to throw more dinner parties where people eat at the dining room table and not sitting on the living room floor. Mary-Lynn loves stories about animal hoarders, monkeys dressed as people and the suburban police blotters.
