I guess just about everyone else in the world already knew this, but me: There are two ways to put up a Christmas tree – the single man’s way and the right way. Ok, I guess I’ve known it for several years, but just didn’t want to admit it. But THIS year . . .…

Son’s criticism of Davey and Goliath wildly misplaced
“Oh Boy!!” It was my birthday and I was so excited! It was a Saturday morning and I was cruising through the menu to see what was on TV when I stumbled across “Davey and Goliath” about to come on. Oh boy!! There’s nothing that gets me excited like bad TV. And on my birthday,…
Turning 50 – A Bad Poem
I never really thought about the day Where my friends and family would say . . . Happy fiftieth birthday to you we wish, Now go out and have some fun; and oh, your cake was delish! Getting older is a hard thing to do, But for now I can still walk, and my food…
Happy Birthday to . . . Me!!!
I don’t normally promote my birthday. In fact, I usually try to ignore because ignoring it = not getting older. But this time I’m straying from the normal course. Because this time it’s a Big Un. It’s the BIG Five-Oh. I won’t have another birthday this big for another 50 years, so I need to…
I’m disappointed they couldn’t squeeze even MORE movies out of the Hunger Games series
Are you kidding me? That was my reaction when I saw the first promo for the upcoming release of Mocking Jay, which is the final book of the Hunger Games trilogy. If somehow you’ve been fortunate enough to shelter yourself from this series (and I’d really like to know how you did it), I’ll briefly…
Why can’t they schedule these dang lunar eclipses during the day?!
I was hoping it was a dream, but deep down (way, WAAAAAAAAY down) I knew it wasn’t. I peeked at the clock with one eye. Hey, I thought 4:15 only happened in the afternoons . . . I wanted to go back to sleep, but that desire was soon squelched by my son, who started shaking me and…
That egg roll was some kind of awful!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect. Well, on second thought, my kids would be the first to admit that. Followed closely by the many girlfriends I’ve dated. Oh, and I’m sure a reader or two. Or dozen or so. But that’s not the important thing. The important thing is that no…
I’m a slave to numbers
I knew it had to happen. It was only a matter of time. The only question was, when . . . You know how it is. You’ll be going along in life, everything seems to be smooth and calm. And there you are, just rocking along, when . . . WHAM! It hits you. And…
My son enlightens older sister on THE J WORD
I found myself in an unfamiliar place the other night – the laundry room. I try to visit it as seldom as I can, which is only hen I run out of clean underwear. (And what I’ve come to realize is that wearing underwear once – and yes, sometimes even twice, doesn’t necessarily mean that…
Son’s favorite fish dish reveals poor parenting protocol
At what point do you, as a parent, realize that you’ve (ahem, how can I say this nicely) totally flubbed up? You usually don’t need a card in the mail to let you know, plus I’m not sure Hallmark makes a card that says like “Despite you stupid parent that you are, I plan to…
Holding together the jello
