Current view

It’s our last morning of a whirlwind weekend trip to Clearwater to see a Phillies spring training game.

The more beaches I see more I love beaches.

Foreground: hotel balcony bars. Middle ground: a rectangular pool with a dozen seagulls frolicking. Background: palm trees, a beach, and the Gulf of Mexico. — The seagulls love the pool

We fly back tonight and while I had a blast, it’ll be nice to sleep in my own bed tonight.

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
