Home-cooked meals - pork chops, pot roast and roast chicken - used to be the norm. Now they’re the exception. A family that can co-ordinate schedules to have dinner together has become food for thought.
Thoughts about food run the gamut from necessities to no-no’s - from vitamins and minerals to Vic’s pizza and Ming’s […]
Here is a great excuse for grown ups to play hide and seek, and could be used during Halloween if you are throwing a Goblins and Ghouls Halloween party. One person is selected as the witch and goes off to hide while others close their eyes. After about 5 minutes the witch seekers set off […]
My conscience won’t go on vacation. I can slather it with sunscreen and lay it in the sun, I can buy it maps and take it sightseeing, I can dress it up and take it out for a romantic dinner - but it refuses to go on vacation.
While I’m trying to have fun, my […]
I don’t know why women got a reputation for being bad drivers - unless pushing supermarket carts counts as driving. I think I’m a good driver. After all, I spent seven years driving in New York City. When I sang “New York, New York”, I changed the words. I sang “If you can drive it […]
“I wish I could, but I don’t have time”. “Sorry, but I have too much to do”. “Maybe I can fit it in next week”. Monday turns into Thursday and Thursday turns into the following month. I feel like a dog chasing its tail. It’s time to stop and smell the beef jerky treat.
It’s […]
My watch runs fast. In spite of the jeweler telling me that it runs perfectly, I know that its hands spin around the dial when I’m not looking.
Time seemed to pass very slowly when I was a child. The week before we went to the circus seemed at least a month long.
When my […]
I was flipping down the yellow, brick road of my life as I flipped through the pages of a photo album. Were the boys ever that little? Did I really have as many hair styles as Oprah? Then there were the pictures of our four-legged family.
The boys had a series of keep-it-in-your-room pets; but […]
Brunch must have been invented by a female. When we lived on the East Coast, brunch was a late, Sunday breakfast at home. It was an edible excuse for me to sleep more and cook less.
On the West Coast brunch is big business. On the West Coast you don’t have bunch, you DO brunch. […]
So Google buys YouTube for $1.6B in stock and cash and suddenly the world wakes up. The result, hundreds of new entries into the funny video, video sharing and music video marketplace. I’ve heard many complaints about the sudden influx of content sites. To them I say, “shut it!”. There can […]
“But first a few words from our sponsors” and those few words are turning into more and more. There are also more and more commercial interruptions and they never say excuse me when they interrupt.
Most people ignore this rudeness and use commercials as snack breaks and toilet trips, but no one gets a beer […]
