Calgon,Take Me Away!
Do you remember that commercial? (If you do, you’re showing your age!) A long soak in some Calgon bath salts definitely takes me away for a limited amount of time, but certainly never far enough away! With the start of the new year and the knowledge that I have an additional THREE more days of … Continue reading
Bah! Humbug!
The holiday season has been here for awhile, but my holiday spirit disappeared about 10 years ago. When I lived in L.A., Christmas was my favorite holiday. I loved shopping, wrapping the presents, selecting and mailing the cards, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music and watching other’s open their presents. The tree had to … Continue reading
Happy Thanksgiving!
In all honesty, Thanksgiving is my second least favorite American holiday, after Halloween. While everyone else may have memories of friends and family getting together sitting around the dinner table enjoying a fabulous feast and interesting banter, mine are nothing like that.

One of my friends who’d gone to school with me at California State University, Chico, contacted me last week. We used to hang out when … Continue reading
Don’t Look Back
I’m a person who lives in the past a lot. By that, there are parts of the past which I remember fondly and wish that had never ended. So I just realized yesterday that 17 years ago this weekend, Labor Day Weekend, was my move to San Francisco from L.A. Rather, my company moved me … Continue reading
A Parting of Ways
I’m sort of at a loss as to how to begin this post. Let’s start by saying that an ex called, then texted me last night; we haven’t seen each other in many years, but talk to each other infrequently throughout these more recent years. Though there was no message on my voice mail, his … Continue reading
