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.

I’m weird. I know this. If someone calls me weird, I do not take offense. Facts are facts. That being said, there are some other places I could live that I wouldn’t be quite as weird. However, in my current locale, I’m weird AF. Have I always been...
It all started in Miss Plum’s (now Dr. Plum) Media Law and Ethics class in college. I had Miss Plum for a couple of lower-level journalism classes and was a big fan of her no-nonsense attitude and dry wit. I had no idea of the justice-seeking...
As a child growing up in Southern Ohio with grandparents in Eastern Kentucky, I never heard tell of the great and noble lentil. Yet here I am at 49 years of age with a vegetarian, Asian daughter in my house and lentils are a major staple of our diet...
I’m a terrible sleeper. While I like to blame the pandemic and menopause, the truth is, I have always had trouble sleeping. As far back as my childhood, I can recall lying in bed for hours longing to just fall the fuck asleep. As if insomnia isn’t...
I love bourbon. It is pure perfection. Just all that goes into its existence is Harry Potter-level magic. Whiskey has been a part of my life in some form or fashion for the last 20 years. It is an amazing industry filled with even greater people. It...
My journey back into running continues. After nearly a decade of keeping it to walking, I’ve decided to pick up the pace and run again. This has not been without its struggles, including an intense bout of plantar fasciitis and multiple trips to the...
