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.

Until several years ago, I was not familiar with the reading genre that is the cozy mystery. When I heard the term, I immediately wanted to know what made them so cozy. I thought, I like to be cozy, and I like a good mystery. This may be just up my...
I read Homer’s The Odyssey back in high school. I remember my teacher was Ms. Blevins. She was hardcore and not to be fucked with. Her nickname (please remember it was the 80s) was Large Marge (her first name was Margaret), the Academic Barge. Yes...
Summer is my favorite time of the year. It is full of memories and nostalgia. I love every second of it: the sun, the smells, the greenery. I love it all! What I love the absolute most is the bounty of a summer harvest and a good farmer’s market...
It’s Saturday night. My husband is on the phone with a friend. I’m basically just killing time till I can go to bed without feeling like a total loser. Life after 50 is hard. So, as I lay on the couch with a couple of dogs on me. I have Taylor...
I love it that my daughter is adventurous and tries new things. Things I’m pretty sure she is going to hate, but she goes for it anyway. For the record I don’t tell her she is going to hate them, but as her mother, I know. A weekend camping was her...
Monday gets a bad rap, folks. I generally don’t mind a Monday. Hopefully, I’m rested from the weekend and ready to get back at it. It is also nice to have something to discuss around the old water cooler at work. Mondays also seem to go by pretty...
I wrote here several months ago about a dog that turned up in our front yard while we were having some work done on a water leak. I opened the door. He came in and never left. Yes, Gus (I immediately named him) has made himself right at home. I did...
I had a dream recently where I went to India with some old co-workers. In my dream, everyone around me was speaking an Indian dialect of some sort—or so it sounded. I had similar dreams when I lived in Japan, where all those surrounding me were...
‘Tis the season for all things graduation. We have attended multiple graduation parties for the children of our friends. They have been lovely. They have also made me feel like a total failure as a parent. Why, you ask? Because we didn’t do shit...
The Traver family has jointly and carefully curated one of the most epic road trip playlists known to man. The even bigger accomplishment is that we all love it. It started last summer when we were in Montana. Brett had his phone plugged into the...
