I don’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t had a daily dose of music. My mother used to hold me on her lap and sing to me while we rocked in a big, soft, leather rocking chair. “So?” … you might be thinking … “We all used to get rocked by our [...]
I doubt it has even crossed your mind to wonder what was wrong with the van … but you still get to hear “the rest of the story”. The van had a little doohickey that needed adjusted. The man called us and said we could either get a new part that would be around $200 [...]
Since today was a Costco day I went all out. Even though it takes me twice as long to get beautified … I went for it. No holds barred. I even pulled out the ceramic hair straightener … I mean we’re talking BEAUTIFIED with eyebrows and a touch of mascara … the whole schmole. We [...]

I woke up this morning with the theme song to Superman running through my mind. I took that as a good sign, which it was until about an hour ago when it switched to “Sandman’s Comin’”. It’s hard to ignore that power of suggestion at this time of the day. Here’s a pretty clever political [...]
