I’m a huge, huge baseball fan. Namely, of the New York Mets and Yankees. Everyone I knew grewing up in the South Bronx lived and breathed baseball. Well, everyone except my mother. She found baseball to be excruciatingly boring. However, she never tried to convince me of her […]
My son is awesome. I have noted that repeatedly and I won’t stop. No need to. I just have a never-ending fountain of love for him. And I feel blessed to have him in my life. He is the perfect son for me. For those of you that […]
Our car is filthy. In the 7 years we have own it maybe it’s been professionally washed twice. And that may be an overstatement. It’s been washed plenty of times by mother nature who has also pelted it with hail a few times. In this sense, besides having […]

Growing up I was always reminded that I am a Taurean. I am hot-headed, stubborn, determined, and smart. When my mom was pregnant with me she went to a fortune teller who told her I’d be a girl that would be a smart cookie with throat problems. All […]
