I know you all have been on pins and needles regarding my hostage situation AKA my boot. Will it go on the cruise with her? Will it continue to follow her like a stalker? Well, the answer is "yes" to both of those questions. It seems, friends, that I will be hanging...

In a week, I will cruising the seven seas with close to thirty woman, most of whom are high school comrades. This year marks thirty-five years since we wore polyester uniforms, were constantly berated by angry nuns, and gathered in the smoking area during lunch. Don't...

Let me start by saying, that I want to mark myself safe from the snowstorm of 2020. You know, the light dusting that occurred yesterday causing schools to be delayed. When did we become so soft? So far, 2020 has not been a delight. First, it is only February and...

Let me tell you about my terrifying situation that happened yesterday. (Taking a deep breath, as this is so difficult to share.) When I write my blog, it automatically links to several social media platforms. This is an excellent way for me to improve traffic and I am...

My heart is heavy. When I heard about the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of nine people including Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gigi, I was stunned. I am not an NBA fan. I didn't really follow him, but I was drawn by the loss. He was a dad. He was a husband....
