Hello! I’m back from Virginia Beach, where Mom and I had a great time despite a ton of heat and humidity. Even though I slathered myself in sunscreen and stayed under an umbrella most of the time, I still ended…
Friday 5: Late night dorm talk
Friends, I am TIRED. I am feeling all of my 50 years today plus maybe 10 more. I have been emotionally cranked up about various things over the last month-plus (WM’s surgery, my colonoscopy, two car tows, upcoming Virginia beach…
Friday 5: Midyear examination
Happy Friday, which is also National Dive Bar Day, National Macaroni Day, and WM’s knee surgery day! That went very well and he’s currently snoozing on the sofa. It won’t cure all of his knee-related ills but it will hopefully…
Friday 5: It’s a good time for the great taste
Happy Friday, which is also International Asteroid Day, National Meteor Watch Day (a bit of overlap there, as an asteroid becomes a meteor when it enters the atmosphere), and International Day of Parliamentarism, a good day to say that the…
Friday 5: Themeless
Happy Friday, which is also National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day and National Donald Duck Day! I’m down with Donald Duck, but not so sure about the pie. This week I was in Atlantic City from Monday morning until Wednesday afternoon…
Friday 5: Do you feel a draft?

Happy Friday, which is also National Pizza Party Day, National May Ray Day, and Malcolm X Day. AND the first day of TEN days off of work. I’m not going anywhere special. I have a few plans but who knows…
Friday 5: Speed
Happy Friday, which is also National Nutty Fudge Day and National Odometer Day! (WM: I thought National Odometer Day was rolled back. badum-tsh!) It’s the end of a long week at work, with a few meetings that could have gone…
Friday 5: 子供の日 (Children’s Day)
Happy Friday, which also happens to be National Hoagie Day, National Astronaut AND National Space Day (jumping on the Star Wars May 4th frenzy, I see) and of course, Cinco De Mayo. This week Mom, J&K, and Nephews A&B went…
Friday 5: You come back to the North Shore
Happy Friday, which is also National Hairball Awareness Day, National Blueberry Pie Day, and Arbor Day! For some nonbloggable reasons, these last 2 weeks have been A LOT and I’m hoping to take this rainy weekend as a sign to…
Friday 5: Food Court
Happy Friday, which is also National Gardening Day and National Ex-Spouse Day. Both of which I have. 🙂 I took off yesterday and today to bum around the house which turned into cleaning the yard, spraying weeds, and spontaneously painting…
