Rick, You Are No Jack Kennedy.

by | Feb 29, 2012 | Politics

I admit that I am at my wit’s end. For now, even I am embarrassed for Rick Santorum, who in his egotistical, almost maniacal desire to be president, threw his fellow Catholic President John F. Kennedy under the bus, on the Sabbath no less. Imagine my surprise...

Come Fly With Me.

by | Feb 28, 2012 | Defies Description

Once again, I am flying the coop. Another trip to the airport. Another destination (OK, so it’s seems to be the same destination always as of late). I have flown more in the last year than the last 10 combined it seems. I feel as if I am living at the airport...

The Princess And The ‘Z’.

by | Feb 27, 2012 | Randomalities

I have written here several times about my trials and tribulations regarding my success, or should I say, lack of success, with cheerleaders. Some of my readers have written since to let me know that perhaps I was just out of their league. Perhaps that is true. But I...

Dating Is Just So High School.

by | Feb 24, 2012 | Relationships

I have had little choice in my life but to have relationships. I guess that’s the way it is with most of us, at least those of us who don’t want to end up one day living with a bunch of cats, our corpse rotting until someone comes to check on a complaint...

I’m Sure I Have A Word For It.

by | Feb 23, 2012 | Growing Up

For as long as I can remember, I have had a huge vocabulary. While I would love to thank the public education system for it, they didn’t really help much. Instead, I must thank my brothers. Before you think I’m going to get all mushy here, let me explain....

Obamalocks And The Three Scares.

by | Feb 22, 2012 | Children, Politics

Once upon a time, in a land of once endless opportunities, there stood a big white house on a hill that was the envy of all the land. It certainly was to the bears who inhabited the tiny town of Republicana. For while they had all the wealth of the country to make...

Young Love, First Love. But Marriage?

by | Feb 21, 2012 | Life Lessons

I was pondering a question this morning that really gave me some pause. Should two consenting adults under the age of 21, given that they are mature enough to handle the situation, go ahead and get married? Of course they should. If the two adults are mature enough to...

I Plead Temporary Insanity.

by | Feb 20, 2012 | Life Lessons

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...

I Still Got It!

by | Feb 17, 2012 | Culture

I was watching the Grammy Awards Sunday and it’s nice to know that I still have my finger on the pulse of American music, even at my age. I had to laugh at one comment on Facebook that one of my contemporaries only recognized Paul McCartney in the lineup of...

Flirt? Wine Not?

by | Feb 16, 2012 | Culture

I have to say that the middle of February is fast becoming my favorite time of the year. No, it’s not because of Valentine’s Day. I already covered my revelations on that issue. Rather, it turns out that in 2012, it is the intersection of two important...
