At the beginning of this year (or rather at the end of last year) I decided that my word for the year was going to be “joy”. And, just how elected presidents usually reflect a reaction to the previous president, a word of the year most certainly reflects […]
Losing a family member is devastating. When my mom died my worst nightmare had come true. I couldn’t believe I no longer could talk to her and have her fret over my travel. When I my dog died, a year after my mother on a Friday the 13th, […]
I had an eye-opening experience this past week. But let me give some context beforehand. Please note that weeks before I used to label these bits “digressions”. Now, this is context. I’m evolving in my descriptors. I like texting. I far prefer texting to talking on the phone. […]
My mom loved pranking. For her, April Fool’s day was everyday. It may where I get my sense of whimsy and love of the absurd. Although, I am no fan of theatre of the absurd. Many, many years ago I saw the Ionescu play Rhinoceros and I felt […]

I was just sitting here laughing, giggling. I was deciding which trips to take. Which membership awards to activate for any one of the trips I want to go. I must admit, I’ve been wanting to go to Greenland for a long time. Now, the rage is to […]
I have a completely annoying, and admittedly, first-world problem. Although, I really dislike that phrase. A lot. But it is what it is. Another phrase I really dislike. Nonetheless, Houston I have a problem. Or rather, Siri we have a problem. One of my favorite television shows is […]
Let’s get right to it. I know a good number of liars. Now everybody lies. For some people it’s mostly little white lies. For others, there are some pinocchio type of lying patterns. For some reason, I know a good number of exaggerators. But, in all fairness to […]
