Musical Discovery
Irony? Coincidence? Fate? Good omen? A cosmic gift? I'm not sure. Tell me what you think.In 1982, the very first song Tom and I danced to was "Open Arms," by Journey. Last night, he was (again)...
Don't Roll Your Eyes
I know a lot of you will think this is way out there; I can hear The Boy rolling his eyes already. (Stop it, by the way!) But we are a little off the beaten path, so to speak, and this is significan...
An (Imaginary) Assassination Plot Foiled
Tom drives our old Ford Taurus Wagon back and forth to work. I think it's a 1994, and it has certain idiosyncrasies, such as the windshield wipers that only work on high, and the turn signals that do...
Ring-A-Ding-Ding

Anniversary Angst
Being married for a quarter-century is a big deal. We will reach this milestone in September, and I want to do something special to commemorate and celebrate, but I’m at a loss as to what that shou...
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
My life is undergoing some changes, and I don’t like it. Not that the changes are bad ones; far from it, in fact. But I dislike and distrust changes of any variety on general principle. Remember,...
Sweet Redemption
I have bestowed upon my Honey-Bunny a gift, to make up for the fact that I elected not to go out to the garage and fetch his Snickers bar last night. (Oh, if only it had been a Milky Way Midnight!) ...
If It Weren't For The Nuts...
The following conversation took place at our house last night: Setting: Our Living Room Time: Around 8 PM Weather: (This is important) Dark, snowy, about 20 degrees Tom: Now I wish I’d...
