My Murder Spree
Fruit flies apparently have a legitimate purpose. They break down fruit and other vegetation a (very) little at a time. However, when they’re buzzing around your head, they’re merely a nuisance. …

The Tuna of the Land
Somehow, I’ve gotten this far in life without realizing that you can buy chicken in a can. I know about the chicken of the sea, but I had no idea that you could buy chicken packed like tuna. I now have three cans in my pantry and one in my belly. …

Beyond Mom
It was Mom’s turn to try the Beyond Meat burger at A & W. (My review of it from a few weeks ago is HERE)Â …
The Secret to Eternal Life
The title of today’s post reads like a clickbait solicitation for a cult, I know. Now you’re afraid that I’ve shaved my head (except for one thin patch down the middle) and quit my job so I can sell flowers at the airport. But that’s not what this story is about. …

Our radio family is devastated. We have lost a colleague and friend, and the London broadcasting community is in mourning. Jodi Taylor was the best hugger any of us knew, a warm, empathetic, tiny dynamo. Jodi died on Saturday.

Over-Talkers
There’s a diner in St. Thomas that we like to go to once in a while. The food is fresh and fast, and they serve a huge selection of all-day-breakfast items. There’s only one aspect of the experience that bothers me. …
Treading Water and Diving In
I’m taking off my water wings now. Last week was so busy, I didn’t have time to wave my own arms to stay afloat. Busy is good. …

The Head of the Bed
We had one expectation for this long weekend: free time. It included some friend time, some “we” time, and some time to do a few little things around the house. I had hoped to put wood protector on the deck but it was too hot out. (Yay!) Derek finished a project that – let’s face it – was more important to me than it was to him. …

Throwback Thursday – Little Polish Grandma
Our maternal Grandma was always a bit of a mystery to us. She was deeply religious, we never saw her wear pants, and I don’t think she had a lot of fun in her life. …

Where’s the Beef?
How have we, as a species, not yet come to a consensus about what to eat? …
