Love a quarterback who is a loyal husband

Let the record show: I knew it all along. In fact, I called it. Ask anyone in my circle. He’s like the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf. 12 times. He’s also similar to those little swallows that keep flying back to Capistrano annually. So, earlier this week when “Stupid Sexy Brady” (as ...

Easter — it’s not really about the chocolate

At the risk of putting it all out there, well, today, I’m putting it all out there. Ahem. OK, here it goes: Ladies and gentlemen, it is once again Easter. Man, do I love Easter! The colors, the grandeur, the absolute regality of it all. The scents, the celebration of life, the concept of forgiveness and redemption. All good stuff.

I hate the Oscars. Stopped watching them many years ago, to be honest. Why? Well, other than the fact that these bazillionaires are basically just there to collect, like, hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of top-notch goodies (think Versace, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel) — but not ...

Persnickety purchasers ought to keep it to themselves

We all know at least one of them personally — and frankly, that’s probably a gross underestimate. More than likely, you come into contact with one, some or even several of them fairly often. Let’s face it, they’re everywhere. Don’t even tell me that you haven’t seen them ...

Turn off the TV when you leave the room!

It’s really funny the things that a human can allow to annoy himself / herself. Silly, insignificant things which, in the big scheme of life, are utterly inconsequential. Ridiculous stuff that doesn’t really matter, such as when kitchen cabinet drawers are left open or empty bags of ...
