I have to admit that, at times, when I look at my work calendar I get a little bored and despondent. Or rather, I anticipate boredom. Is there nothing more tedious than weekly set meetings that occur week after week at the same time and place with same […]
I have found myself identifying a lot of pet peeves lately. I looked at them all recently and flinched, wondering if I am a curmudgeon. Yes, I am a curmudgeon. Usually a funny one, I believe. But I was wondering if I was becoming one of “those” curmudgeons. […]
I have always been attracted to fire. Mesmerized. Intoxicated by it. It’s beautiful and dances alluringly so. Sadly, I have also seen firsthand the detriments of fire having had my home many, mnay years ago burned down. I was actually a young girl, a toddler and it is […]
When I’m watching television these days, more often than not, I’m watching pre-recorded shows on my DVR. I don’t have time to watch live shows. I’m tired from work. Have more work to do at home. And have to first watch my son’s nightly cartoon shows. How does […]

A few years back comedian Lewis Black in a bit but still remains in my, almost everyday, consciousness. He noted in his skit “if it wasn’t for my horse I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.” Some things in life are so absurd but you just have […]
Since a very early age, I have been a story teller. I was entering storytelling contests and engaged in non-stop chattering as far as anyone can remember. I have always rooted for the underdog, unless it was either the New York Yankees or the Mets playing. And […]
I am an extremely superstitious person. My mom taught me every superstition there is and then some. She not only told me about them but she also taught me to respect them. But being a bit of an independently minded young girl, I didn’t take it all in […]
