Like most Americans, we received this in the mail on Saturday and it’s too good to share. I CACKLED at the image of the White House. He makes parody SO EASY. Also you don’t need to tell me I suck…
What is a weekend?
As of today, I have been home for 15 days, with the exception of two car rides and one socially-distanced visit with Mom. I gave up giving up Facebook for Lent, because 1) everything is Lent now and 2) there…
Life, Quarantined
Another random jumble of observations… With the exception of 2 short car drives, I haven’t been out of the house since Friday, March 13. Today was day 7 of working from home. And life is starting to fall into a…
Right now, it’s like this

Show us your books February 2020
Missed January but here I am, back in February! I completely missed my 2019 Goodreads goal but you know what? IT’S FINE. It’s an arbitrary number and I missed it and the world still spins. My 2020 goal is 50…
Adventure Aquarium!
The last time I was at the aquarium in Camden it was early 2000 and I was there for an event the C-P threw for its readers to mark the new millennium. That was before Gannett ruined it and all…
It’s so nice to work from home…
Once a week, I get to work from home. I’m thankful for that opportunity because it makes it so much easier to have someone out to fix the latest broken thing in the house, or to sneak in a doctor…
My Biggest “Loser” Moment
What better way to knock off the writing rust than to write about the evening when I felt like the biggest loser on the planet? Oh, not Biggest Loser as in weight loss, Biggest Loser as in waves of shame….
