This Parking Meter Needs A User Manual

Two friends and I drove into Washington, DC (newly designated as the 2nd WORSE TRAFFIC CITY in the US) to do the “Walk to End Modern Day Slavery.” DC is the World Mecca for Walks/Runs/Demonstrations/Rallies/Political Motorcades/Tourism/General Mayhem on the Road.  There were at least four events happening that day, including an Army 10 Miler.  For […]

I’ve Become A Cliche

October 20, 2010

  I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, minding my own business and looking like I do every morning: skimpy tee shirt with no bra (I am, shall we say, well-endowed and I should actually be sleeping in a bra), ratty pajama bottoms, electrified-looking hair.  My Now Husband Dan had left to fondle his boat.  […]

My Menu Options Have Changed

Along with the rest of humanity except for Oprah, I spend an awful lot of time each day listening to voice mail messages of assorted businesses and governmental agencies.  Some of this is because I am, at any given moment, trying to straighten something out, trying to understand something, trying to order something, or trying […]

Exiled to Nicheville

I’m a bit concerned about  my children (three) and my grandchildren (one arrived 16 months ago, the others mere thoughts as of this post).  I am aware that, depending on which standard is used, my children are either Gen Xers or Gen Yers.  Or both. This in itself is a problem.  If my children are Gen […]

An Uncommon Cold

I have a cold/virus/bacterial infection/whatever.  No biggie.  It’s not like I’m sick a lot.  The last illness was about five lbs ago.  I went to the doctor after whatever I had was building up for about five days.  This consisted of: Be fine during the day and throughout the night.  Wake up feeling like a […]

What Not to Wear Around Livestock

During our visit with our friends Glenda and Ralph who live in York Harbor, Maine, we attended the Maine Fryeburg Fair.  Imagine a wine festival, only they ran out of wine and someone ran to the 7-11 and stocked up on beer and soda.  Or a food festival that featured totally normal foods like pickles […]

Almost Heaven: York Harbor, Maine

We’ve just returned from York Harbor, Maine.  We were visiting good friends, Glenda and Ralph, who live in a beautiful house in a spectacular setting (Note: The photo above is of other people’s beautitiful homes in a spectacular setting).  Aside from the house and grounds, they also own three cats.  I am grateful that our Miracle the Cat wasn’t […]

Why I Don’t Collect Things

September 27, 2010

The members of my family were always avid collectors.  My grandfather, in addition to collecting wives, used to bring discarded items home from abandoned properties that were undergoing renovation.  He was a paperhanger, and he never saw an old item (or a young woman) he didn’t like.  My grandmother (actually my step-grandmother and his second […]
