Locked and Loaded
I was recently diagnosed with a mild case of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be dangerous in the sense that one stops breathing periodically while sleeping, but sometimes breathing is overrated. Like when you’re too sleepy to tell the difference. But … Continue reading
For Posterity
By request, here is a transcript of our heartwarming “presentation” Saturday night at our 25th Anniversary party. Vow renewal as only we can do it… Jill: This is going to be a little bit like the Oscars, in that I wrote some … Continue reading

25 Years Gets You Andy Cohen And Eggplant Pizza
Today Dan and I celebrated 25 years of uninterrupted, wedded bliss. Psych! I have no complaints, and if Dan knows what’s good for him, neither will he. I have opined on the keys to a successful marriage before, here and … Continue reading

Government Shutdown = Family Breakdown
Much has been written about this government shutdown and the idiot hyenas we call Congress (with all due respect to hyenas). I won’t attempt to out-pundit or over-think or under-mine the situation. But if you want to know how this shutdown … Continue reading
Cuppa’ Dan
Believe it or not, Dan loves it when he is the subject of my blogs, and was tickled that I fleshed out the whole Romans catching lions thing. When I asked him what I should blog about next he suggested I … Continue reading

Space Odyssey: In The Year 20Never
I think by now everyone knows about my predilection for reality TV. Every once in a while, Dan gets to use the TV, and he watches that genre commonly known as Bad Science Fiction. After careful observation, I’ve learned that … Continue reading
What’s Cookin’
Years and years ago Dan claimed he didn’t know how to cook. I can hold my own but most of our meals ended up coming from Olive Garden (no, not proud of that) or out of a Kellogg’s box because … Continue reading

Not So Constructive Criticism
I have been working furiously on final touches to my book. Today was the day I asked Dan to start reading it. He’s read older versions, but I’ve done a ton of revisions since then. I anxiously watch his face, … Continue reading
Have A Laugh On Me. Please.
You know what’s funny? No? Neither does Dan. He is by far my toughest audience. He tends to sit quietly while I laugh at my own jokes. How pathetic does that make me? My millions (upon millions) of adoring fans … Continue reading
