It’s Friday night, and I’m pondering one of life’s great mysteries: where in the world is my favorite coffee mug? You know, the one with the chipped handle that has somehow become a part of my identity? The one that seems to have more mileage than my gym […]
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? If I ever stumbled across a genie’s lamp (because apparently, I live in a Disney movie now), I’ve already got my three wishes lined up. No, I’m not going for world peace—that’s too big for a girl […]
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I’m not a hoarder. However, I readily admit that I have some clothes, shoes, and handbags that I’ve had for decades. I suppose I’m lucky, in a sense, that those items not only have lasted so long […]
There is a new phenomenon on TikTok regarding dirty sida. Yes, “dirty” soda- a supposed nightmare for dentists. But is it really? Don’t dentists make more money as our cavity count grows? Semi-rhetorical question there. You may be asking, what is a dirty soda. Well, it is soda […]

Rise and shine and be merry. And, as Truman noted each morning to his Truman Show neighbors “good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!” Yuck. I can be sunny, but I don’t believe I’ve ever been that chipper. I […]
Growing up I hated coffee. Of course, kids hate coffee. Or rather, they used to. Nowadays, you see kids in the coffee shops with their lattes in hand. How did that happen? My son does not care for coffee. Nor does he drink soda. He doesn’t do any […]
I will keep this short today as I have a meeting to run back to. Not a thrilling meeting. In a way, I want to just take my time. However, I do not wish to dwell on something so inconsequential. I just want to get it out of […]
