About Push
The continuing adventures of Jeff Ruby, aka Chicago's dining critic, senior editor, and humor columnist. After chronicling his wife's pregnancy and eventual delivery on a Hyde Park floor in gory detail, Ruby fast-forwarded a year to his paternity leave, during which his threesome inexplicably decided to travel 10,000 miles away. Another baby followed. Then the World’s Dumbest Dog. Now Ruby’s wife is pregnant again, and Push returns for one more go-round. Again, nothing is omitted. These people gave up on privacy years ago.
