I love my daughter. She is smart, hardworking, and never gives up. That being said, I worry she doesn’t have enough fun. She is a Chemical Engineering major. I can’t even fathom this. The workload she carries is nothing short of astounding. I was a...
I hate AI. I simply don’t like the thought of it or anything about it. AI makes me glad I’m 53 and not 23, trying to start a career with a fucking journalism and Radio/Television degree. That would be virtually impossible. The robots are going to...
I begrudgingly put up the Christmas tree and decorated the mantle. Once again, this year, I wasn’t feeling it. Dammit. It is just so much work. I wanted it to go away. I was ready to skip the holidays if at all possible. The tree has now been up...

Many people have very strong opinions on the time change—in both spring and fall. I’m not one of these people. I honestly don’t care. Yes, I do prefer daylight saving time, but I don’t get my undies in a bunch when we “fall back” the first Sunday in...
My internal thermostat is shot all to hell. Thanks, menopause. Seriously, what happened? I’m 53. I was in a perpetual state of cold till about 48. Now, I have no temperature regulation. I’m all over the place. However, I’m usually hot. I’m currently...
Last week, an icon passed. My Aunt Patti (Sissy) died peacefully, surrounded by family. Well, maybe not 100 percent peacefully. You see, the loudest toilet in the world was located in her hospital room. I’m not kidding y’all. It shook the walls. As...
