Let me just say this real quick before my eyelids fully give up on this day and slide down my face like melted mascara: I am tired. Capital T. Italics. Possibly in another font entirely. I woke up today with a long to-do list and the resolve of […]
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? The other day, I did something wild. At least, wild by grown-up, semi-caffeinated, city-living standards. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Not bucatini with veal ragu. Not handmade tagliatelle with a saffron foam. Just good ol’ spaghetti. Red […]
There are days when life delivers its deep truths in sweeping metaphors, sunsets, and perfectly timed inspirational quotes. And then there are days like today when the deepest truths come straight from the Dog Couch. You know, that fur-covered, snack-stained kingdom ruled by my three wildly different but […]

But here I am staring down a lukewarm to-do […]
What notable things happened today? This morning started like any other. Coffee in hand. Dogs pacing around with their usual “we must defend the yard at all costs” energy. And then I saw it. A familiar sight: a groundhog waddling across my backyard like it had rent to […]
There’s a meme floating around that hit me right in the frontal lobe. You know the one. “The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.” Boom. Truth bomb in font size 16. Let’s talk about that seductive little patch of green across the metaphorical fence. […]
