The year of 2020 has, most certainly, worn itself thin. It’s been tiring, grating, and, depressing. So much so that you have therapists basically holding sessions from sun-up to midnight. At times there seems to be no reprieve whichever way you turn. I’m still trying to have my […]
I am a stockpile hoarder. There I stated it. Now, let me back into this and move forward. Back in February, I knew the pandemic was coming. I started to prepare both at work and at home. Well, at home, my preparations were already longstanding. I already had […]
Rise and shine and be merry. And, as Truman noted each morning to his Truman Show neighbors “good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!” Yuck. I can be sunny, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been that chipper. I […]

Before I dive in to coffee-infused wine or wine-infused coffee, let me lay out a foundation of another sort. See, here is the deal. I like Coke Zero. A lot! For my son’s first birthday, one of our activities was to go to the Coca Cola museum […]
