In sickness and in health, consider others
When you're not feeling well, use some common sense.
The dirty truth
The thing I love about political season is … nothing. Not a single blessed thing. How is this possible?
Excessive celebration: Embrace it
We’ve all seen — and sometimes shunned — them.
Miracles of ‘didn’t’
The accident happened, as these things always do, simultaneously fast and oh-so-slow.
Let’s (not) do lunch
You would think someone who loves eating and all things relating to food as much as I do would be nuts about lunch.
Ear corn brought back childhood memories
Picking ear corn was an historical time.
Parenthood principle
I like about writing for public consumption. This is opposed to, say, how I started out which was just forcing these missives on my grandmothers who are contractually obligated to find me fascinating.
Playing cat and mouse
Ah fall. The season when all of nature attempts to move indoors.
Go jump in the lake
Summer, as we know it, has come and gone.
Get a job! (But hone interview skills first)
One of the many benefits of being a writer is that my commute is short. (I gained 7 pounds the year I got a laptop and no longer had to walk all the way to the third floor to write).
