A bit of whimsy is a true delight in one’s life. I am a firm believer in whimsy. The word whimsy has been around for over four hundred years at least. But I do not feel that we use it enough. Nor do we live it enough. […]
In college I had a friend who was notoriously bad about song lyrics. She would come up with some of the craziest, wrong lyrics out there. And I don’t mean mistaking “Sweet dreams are made of this” for “Sweet dreams are made of cheese” Her confused, mistaken […]
