There, I Said It!
And the Scale Says…
Lately, I've been weighing myself, and I must say, like smoking, overeating, or picking your nose in public, watching the scale has become a bad habit. Something that I wouldn't recommend anyone start. Because once you start, it's hard to look away as the numbers...
Could Your Life Review Make A Great Story?
Have you ever awoken in the middle of the night and wondered about your life? The choices that have led you to the current moment in time. If you haven't, you're lucky. After all, there's little to be gained lying in bed and rehashing the past unless there's something...
Say, I Do!
There's nothing like a family wedding to bring out the need to raid one's closet for appropriate attire. In our house, we're a casual duo. Jeans without sneakers is a dressy night out. So, you can imagine the activity when a wedding invitation arrived that requested...

It’s Not About Us…Thank Goodness
There's something compelling about reality television. Whether you're watching My 600-lb Life or Married at First Sight, at least it's not your life. You can sit back and get lost in someone else's journey. Disconnect from your own issues as you watch a stranger...
Car Dealerships…I Love the Donuts!
This week, the air conditioning in my car died. Living in the desert, you absolutely need AC. Just ask the poor cacti out in the heat. It gets mighty hot in Phoenix. Within minutes, you can fry an egg on your forehead. Isn't that a silly image? The Dealership Nothing...
I Feel Fine…I Think
My recent physical is now well behind me. I thought it a good idea to get a baseline once I moved into a new age category. If you fill out surveys, you'll know the age bracket that I'm referring to. It's the last one on the list. Usually displayed with a "+" sign as...
