How do you balance work and home life? I used to scoff at the notion of work/life balance. If you like work well enough, it can become part of your life. There need not be a separation between life and work. Now, I’m not too sure I feel […]
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? I have several closets full of dresses and more dresses. A closet full of shoes and more shoes. A closet maxed out in blouses, shirts, and jeans. And, many of these are older than a decade. I just can’t follow that […]
I’m a bit of a night owl. I’m tired but wife aeake at 2am. And, what a night it has been. First off, we haven’t seen the resident groundhog. We are afraid that the fox ate him. Second, we heard a terrifying cry from an animal. I looked […]
Much is still unwritten. Many words are listed in the various dictionaries. And, why do we need so many dictionaries? Aren’t words, words? New words are seemingly added each day. Words that were once forbidden – meaning they were not considered to be words such as ain’t, are […]

I was recently, at midnight, watching a stand-up comedy special to try to help me sleep. I specifically was watching John Mulvaney’s latest stand-up special. The one after his rehab stint. It was funny. It was self-deprecating. It was timely. I think, in many ways, there are a […]
When do you feel most productive? This morning, the day before my birthday, I woke up at 6:35am. Not atypical of me, by the way. I went downstairs, made coffee, and drank a red bull. Then, I decided to garden for two hours. Well, gardening is a strong […]
The month of may is almost here, and usually, I’m very excited about this upcoming month. As the month of May is my birthday month. But it’s been a tough year thus far. There’s thunder and lightning today, and the day is dreary. Tomorrow promises no less dreariness. […]
