And Thousands Cheered
I’m going to admit that I am not particularly religious, but I have now witnessed the power of prayer. I know no one would specifically pray for me to get laryngitis, but surely many people have fervently prayed that I … Continue reading
Lost Dogs and Lucky Cats
Am I a magnet for weird people? Answer that question carefully. I was just eating lunch, that’s all. Lots of people do that right? I was minding my own business-hovered over my laptop and not even looking up. A gentleman walks right … Continue reading

I have always held that grammar is black and white, right and wrong, and ultimately that which separates woman from beast. I don’t know what separates man from beast, but that’s best left for a separate post. Grammar, which I … Continue reading

Brave Or Stupid?
You know how sometimes you just close your eyes, jump off a cliff and hope for the best? No? Me either. And yet here I am doing exactly that. The day job is fascinating and all, but it really cuts … Continue reading
Poetic Snow Job
I’ve always believed being a TV weather person (not a fancy meteorologist) would be a lot of fun. I could cheerfully report sunny weather or gravely report armageddon from an important looking Storm Center. I could point to China on … Continue reading
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
