Tomorrow is my son’s last day as a kindergartner. I can hardly believe we made it. The year has been nothing if not interesting, and I’m fairly sure we got a lot more educated than the kid. However, given that we are the same parents who managed to forget the child at daycare on at [...]

And no, I don’t mean the “Hey, baby, wanna get lucky?” kind. I’m talking Fords, Chevys, big ol’ Dodge Rams. I just went three full days without seeing a single pickup truck. Where on earth could this kind of insanity happen, you ask? Yep, that’s New York. The Big Apple. This hick’s been in the [...]

So I decided to get healthy. Not a New Year’s resolution because I’ve never had much luck with those.

Question: When is Thursday really Wednesday? Answer: When you had Monday off and you’re working Saturday, which has you so turned around you forgot to you were supposed to blog today.

I’m sort of in a mood this year when it comes to Valentine’s Day, probably from having to make my son-who-hates-to-write fill out twenty three cheesy cards for his kindergarten classmates. Good times, that. When I decided to write a short story for the occasion I wasn’t exactly brimming with sweetness and honey and [...]
