What is this blog about? Well, it's a general blog, but it is also a very specific blog. If you get that
reference, you get a gold star! I have been a public relations professional and writer of press
releases for more than 20 years—primarily in the booze biz. I decided to do some writing for
fun and embrace the humor that gets me through most days. Hopefully it will make you
chuckle—or at least smile. I’m a certified crazy magnet, and more than a little nutty myself, so
buckle up. Also, I have two vices—profanity and red wine/whiskey. You’ve been warned.
It should also be noted, that I’m a HUGE Bob & Sheri fan. I’ve been a listener for more than 20
years. This opportunity is a dream come true and it may have made me cry. That being said, I
cry at everything.

My daughter is 20 years old. I love this age. She is one of my best friends. However, I’m still ALWAYS in intense Momma Bear mode. This time of year, I really miss the Easter festivities. This is ridiculous, I realize. We are Buddhists, but I love...
From early on in my youth, I can remember curling up on the couch with my grandfather to watch the Kentucky Wildcats play basketball. It should be noted that while my Pa and I were watching the Cats, my Granny was cussing and passionately cheering...
My daughter is now 20 years old. We got her when she was 15 months old. Over the last 19 years, we’ve archived a lot of good memories. The other day, we were all eating out. The restaurant had a claw game machine. You know the one, you put 50 cents...
March 5 is my favorite day of the year. Every year, without fail. It is the day we became a forever family. It is the day we held our daughter for the first time on the other side of the world. I will never forget walking into that sterile Chinese...
Definition of a Thru-hiker: A thru-hiker is a backpacker who attempts to hike a long-distance trail from end to end in a single continuous journey, usually spanning one hiking season. Popularized by trails like the Appalachian Trail (AT) or Pacific...
Why in heaven’s name did Wide World of Sports ever go off the air? This was a wonderful program that occupied a good afternoon most every weekend of my youth. I looked forward to it each week and never missed an episode. I may have been a weird kid...
Our house has needed a new roof for quite some time. “Luckily,” we had some hail damage from a storm, and our insurance company decided we were deserving of a new roof and they would foot the bill. Praise be! As the day approached for when the new...
I’m a bit of a sports nut. So is my husband. It is probably one of the reasons we have been married for nearly 34 years. This past Sunday presented an epic problem: Super Bowl vs. Winter Olympics. What to watch, what to watch!? It was quite the...
I was sitting in my local library knitting with my ladies. One of the librarians stepped out of the office and announced that Catherine O’Hara had died. My brain froze. I was convinced I had heard it wrong. Then she clarified, “You know the mom...
I’m a very sentimental person—especially when it comes to my grandparents. I treasure all the things I have that were once theirs. I particularly like the practical stuff that was theirs, which I still use. A perfect example is my Granny’s biscuit...
