Hello from RetiredLand, Florida! I’m here visiting with Dad for a bit, pretending that I’m retired, too. So far the weather’s been amazing by my standards, but chilly by Floridian standards. It snowed at home yesterday. I am SO SICK…
Friday (Sunday?) 5: Korea Guidance
Firstly, check out this gloriousness: Embed from Getty Images Look at this! Getty Images lets you embed their work on your unprofitable blog now! Actually they started it in 2014 but it’s news to me! Our US Curling boys brought…
Things I love about the 2018 Winter Olympics
South Korea totally has its ish pulled together. No stories of hotel rooms falling apart or bacteria-laden water. The only wrinkles have been the weather which is … cold and wintry! Norwegian curling pants. If you’re on the world stage…
The Year of the Dog so far
(alternate post title 1: Sunday Bloody Sunday) (alternate post title 2: Say hello to my little friend!) Sunday morning after breakfast I was on the floor with the dogs, playing. I had a ball in my hand and was waving…
Safe, Loved, and Warm – where do the guns fit in?
Summary: They don’t! Safe, Loved and Warm is my guidepost for how humanity should be treated. On Valentine’s Day, instead of worrying about if they’d get a card or a carnation at lunchtime, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School…
Friday 5: Dogs

Friday 5: Rockit
Happy Saturday! I was going to write this last night but we watched the Olympics Opening Ceremonies instead. It was amazing and the five little kids who carried the artistic storyline were adorable! This weekend I have nothing planned but…
The Alma Mater
I mentioned before that WM is taking grad school classes — he’s going to my alma mater, Rowan University*. On Saturday, we took a trip to the University’s library so WM could take some books out for his term paper….
Currently: Super Bowl edition
Watching: The Super Bowl. I know. I’m not an Eagles fan, or really a football fan in general (I’m more a hockey/baseball person) but I am watching the hometown team VERY anxiously. For my family, my friends, my pretty city…
Friday 5: Groundhog Day
Happy Friday! I worked a full five-day workweek! Woooo! Go me and my white-collar self. I worked from home today with my snore of spaniels. I’ll be home Monday too. This work from home thing? Niiiiice. Yesterday at work we…
