Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? I know I did. I decided at virtually the last moment to take last Wednesday off from work, and drive all day to mom’s house instead of all night. It was a good decision. I left early, and though there were a few slowdowns, for the most part the [...]

Yes folks, it’s almost The Day On Which We All Eat Like Gluttons And Oh Yeah, Wasn’t That Tonto Such A Nice Pilgrim? Plus, The Lions Are On TV! No, seriously, I love Thanksgiving. My sister likes to say, “I’m going to eat till I pass out.” Usually I don’t go that far, but is [...]
Bad-Friend Belated Birthday Bits

I mean, that *I* am the bad friend, not beloved MS, whose birthday was…um…yeah…uh…Monday. OK, OK, I’m late! It’s terrible and she deserves better from me! Well, from everyone. MS is a dear and treasured friend, whom I’ve known since the seventh grade. We were inseparable throughout those awful middle-school years and I’m grateful that [...]

Wow, yeah, uh, it’s been a busy week. But yesterday, I was able to knock off a touch early to attend the Hoyas’ home opener just down the street at the Phone Booth. It was a thriller! The Hoyas took an eary lead but then seemed to lose their momentum in the second half. They [...]

Why I love Friday the 13th: It’s lucky. My office just decided to give us 3 special days off! Plus, I got notice of an increase in pay! Lucky, lucky, lucky!
Happy Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th! Bad if you are a teenaged camp counselor! Bad if you are a Joss Whedon TV show! Really bad if you are a rugby team flying through the Andes! However, I love Friday the 13th. (Today especially, as I’ll be having a lovely dinner with old friends that I haven’t seen in [...]
Birthday Bits

It’s SPB’s birthday! We’re the closest in age of the four cousins in my generation. We can’t possibly be adults, though, can we? As kids, we blew out the candles together — on Thanksgiving, the holiday conveniently located right in between our two birthdays. We played in the winter together, in our snow pants. We [...]

Well, it’s Veteran’s Day, or Armistice Day for all those thousands of Europeans who are no doubt enthralled with this blog. I’m here at work, and it took me till I was just a block away to realize that in addition to just being a good and important day, it’s also a Federal Holiday. The [...]
Pine Plains Goes Crazy

Well. This morning MG posted a message on Facebook that got me wondering. It said she was concerned about the situation in Pine Plains! What could that mean? I went to the link she provided and, holy smokes! There was a gunman inside the Stissing Mountain School who was evidently holding someone hostage. What the [...]

Thanks, Universe, for making today sort of suck. It started with me cutting my hand open this morning, and has continued in that vein (ha! see what I did there?) all day. It’s best not to write a whole whiny blog post about it. I’ll just say that I blame the Damn Yankees, and leave [...]
