Who’s That Girl?
My August Washingtonian arrived the other day and as I was casually flipping through it a little blurb caught my eye; quick tips from a couple who travel extensively for work and pleasure. Here’s the first piece of perky advice … Continue reading
Viola At Bat
Well, sooner or later someone had to write a blog about flies and fly swatters…it might as well be me. But my blog can’t be about flies and fly swatters because someone I loved a lot used to called them fly … Continue reading

Laissez Le Buon Tempi Rotolare!
For Lent this year I gave up asking people what Lent is about. I honestly don’t get it, but I won’t ask about it again until after whatever day it is that Lent is over. Maybe Easter? The few things … Continue reading
From Bad To Worse
You know that I’m always keepin’ it real here people, so no matter how hard, the truth must be told. We stayed at a Best Western “Hotel” last weekend. It worked well with our budget but was an affront to … 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
