Peeve O’ The Day
I’ve regaled you with so many of my pet peeves, but the list continues to grow and I would hate for you to miss anything. Today’s annoyance? Not spam, the filters catch most of that, but simply unwanted email. Granted, … Continue reading
A Midwinter Tale
Well, we had quite an eventful trip to Chicago. We met CJ and Lisa at O’Hare, and then drove out to Evanston, home of Northwestern University. We were there to see Sean in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The first problem … Continue reading
Need An Opinion? Email Me.
I have an opinion on absolutely everything, and I’m typically not shy about sharing it. Sometimes I assume that my opinion is so obviously the “right” opinion that I’m shocked when others disagree. I guess some people call that close-minded, … Continue reading
Poetic Snow Job

My Quiet, Studious Side
Kidding! I don’t have a quiet, studious side. I started young. I learned the word loquacious when I got my 2nd grade report card and wasn’t sure if I was being praised or scolded. My mom explained the word to me … Continue reading
Baby Love
For the first time in many years I attended a baby shower today. Most of my friends aren’t really having babies anymore; these days they’re more likely touring college campuses than cruising the aisles at Babies R Us. I happen … Continue reading
Did It Just Get Chilly In Here?
Heaven knows I have embarrassed myself in countless ways, countless times. One of my more spectacular incidents was in a crowded Manhattan restaurant. Where shall I begin…oh, at the coat check. When my colleague and I walked into the restaurant … Continue reading
