In 2004, I changed my entire life. I did it in the space of a week. I left everything I had ever known for a woman I barely knew. I left my business, my home, my family and my friends, flying off to Florida in search of happily ever after that was never really happy...

As I’ve mentioned before, I was born with the family worry gene. My mother is an Olympic level contender in this regard, able to conjure up nearly any doomsday scenario on the fly, adding “What Ifs” until your bright idea withers and dies on the vine...

Before I get too far into today’s RobZerrvation, let me start by saying I am a huge protector and defender of everyone’s rights. To each his own. If you believe in a higher power, great. If you’re godless, that’s OK, too. If you worship the...

I saw on the news today that Michelle Duggar, the star of “19 and Counting” (haven’t seen it? I don’t think anyone has), had a miscarriage and won’t have #20 for this season’s show. Now, this RobZerrvation isn’t really about...
