All Puckered Out

No polling data is offered. No experts are quoted. No international study referenced. The people at Dentyne just come flat out and say it in their newest TV commercial: The average person spends 20,000 minutes in their lifetime kissing. Again, [...]

Dear Santa: Please Take Me Away!

Three months ago, just about the time the local swimming pools closed their doors, my son started a Christmas list. It now consists of four pieces of copy paper taped together into one long scroll of detailed items. He has [...]

Home for the Holidays

Home for the Holidays

Most of us know a neighbor, friend, son, daughter, spouse, brother or sister who is in the military and frequently misses holidays throughout the year. For some, it is a very sad and lonely time, and for others it is [...]

The New Normal

The New Normal

The house is quiet now, which is a very rare occurrence. The silence provides me with a chance to think and reflect uninterrupted without someone asking for more milk or asking where their Han Solo action figure is or rubbing [...]

The party’s over. Our 30 guests have gone home, but I’m a little concerned. I can’t find the cat’s scratching post, the cordless phone that was on the living room table or my brand new bicycle helmet. Oh, and where’s [...]

Fight Against Breast Cancer? Bring It On!

0 / October 10, 2010 3:32 pm

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m paying tribute to boobage. Not in a creepy, I-can’t-believe-you-said-that sort of way, but in a respectful, hopefully somewhat insightful manner. After all, women’s breasts are the stuff that songs, movies and motherhood [...]

Everyone loves elections. (Or maybe it’s just me. I am a bit of a geek with that stuff!) Well, like it or not, a big one is on the way. This coming election may not be as fun to talk [...]

The Beginning and the End

0 / July 27, 2010 9:11 pm

I know the old saying is “Time flies when you’re having fun,” but believe me, time creeps along at a painfully slow pace when you are having chemo, which may be defined as many things, but never, ever as fun. [...]

Bangs Cause Pangs For Local Wimp

0 / June 16, 2010 3:50 am

I am terrified of fireworks. Not the kind that you sit and watch at night, lit by well-trained professionals. I’m talking about the kind you buy and light yourself, especially the ones that look like tiny dynamite sticks and come [...]
