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.

It has been said that we all have a book in us. I think this is true. If nothing else, we have the story of our lives. What more important story is there to tell? Opening up about your life to others is such a personal thing, but if done well with...
I’m not one of these people who just eat to live. I totally live to eat. I love food. Good food is orgasmic to me. Nothing makes me happier than a good meal. Not only do I love to eat, but I also love to cook. Pouring myself a glass of wine and...
Let me start by saying, I’m not a Swiftie. If I’m being honest, I used to hate on her. Why? No good reason. I was just being difficult. I have great self-awareness. However, she has won me over. I’ve been listening to The Life of a Showgirl album on...
I was with my sister recently, and she reminded me it was the anniversary of the day I fell through her back deck. Yes, I went right through and was totally caught off guard. It was shocking, to say the least. Here’s the setup: I was staying with my...
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...

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...
