This past Thursday I turned 52 years old. To celebrate, over the last few days I… And tonight I’m off to the Phillies game. Not a bad deal! Looking ahead at 52 requires a look back at 51. It wasn’t…
Wordless Wednesday 2024: Week 20
Some words: Happy birthday, WM! You are the Cool Ranch seasoning to my Dorito, you are the Velveeta sauce to my macaroni, and every day with you is happier than Mickey’s Runaway Railway. <3
A Lady looks at fifty-one
Fifty seems like it would be a momentous year, gold-dipped and gleaming. A milestone, an accomplishment. And it was a a good year, but it was also a hard year. Adjustments at home, adjustments at work. The begrudging acceptance of…

I had a birthday!
On Sunday, I completed another trip around the sun. Hooray for me and everyone else who shared the day. I have complicated feelings about my birthday, because 1) the first week of September is terrible and 2) how I’d like…

Friday 5: The Whole Trial Is Out of Order!
Happy Friday 5 on a Saturday! This is a day late because … wait for it … I went out again last night. This time was happy hour with my mom and my aunt who is recently back from a…
The Lady at 46: Walking the Walk
Today is my 46th birthday. It’s weird to consider that I’m on the downward slope to 50 when I feel like I just got used to being in my 40s. I spent the day at the shore, possibly for the…
Friday 5 on Sunday? Yes, Sunday.
Between a birthday week that was less-than*, and concerns over the biggest hurricane ever headed right toward Retired-Guy Land, FL, I’m glad to be in another calendar week. Here’s the Friday 5 that was supposed to be done on Friday,…
