Tales from the bedroom are considered sacred, but tales from the corners of marriage are even more forbidden. Why is that?

Figuring Out Figure Skating
As a Christmas gift, I received tickets to the US Women’s Figure Skating Championship held in Cleveland, Ohio this past Saturday evening.

I like skating, but I’m not […]
Save A Weekend Date in Cleveland – 2/21/2009
Cleveland rocks. So do I.
A Very Sporty January Weekend
Nick and I have been busy as usual. We trotted down to the Columbus area this Saturday to watch our cousin, Sue Borchers, coach her Varsity girls basketball team in Granville.

As the anons can see, I have returned to accepting anonymous comments. How I have missed them! Don’t you all have something better to do with your time! Really…shoe throwing! Why don’t you try throwing yourself down in the middle of a store and wail loudly to really stir up some debate. Childish…so childish! If […]

What IS It about Old Pictures…

I mean, I lead a perfectly content, challenged, intellectually stimulated and emotionally satisfying existence with the love of my life, a great family, and more blessings than I can keep track of… So, why is it, when I glimpse a photo of childhood, I find my […]
Throw Your Shoe at Bush and Have Some Cake!
Muntadhar al-Zeidi, our favorite shoe throwing activist, celebrated his 30th birthday on January 17, 2009. Mhm mhm mhm, what an act to do before your 30th birthday. What a statement to be able to say you threw your shoes at George W. Bush. Reports have come in that a few of the guards brought in […]
The Yes List
January is always a month geared toward self-improvement and in the tradition of setting goals, I decided that I am going to make a YES list. Specific things that I can and will do to make the planet a better place and to simplify our busy lives so we can spend time on the things […]
