Rather complete, these days, thanks for asking.

Last week, I met with Gunnar, the Viking trainer man.  I had one free training session that was included with my gym membership – but wound up not signing up for the real deal, because I refuse to pay $50/hour to be tortured. At one point, I said, “Gunnar, you are KILLING me.” He replied,…

If vows are green, theirs were absolutely verdant. What an amazing weekend.  What an amazing couple.  What a joy to have been included.

This weekend, I’m flying to Phoenix for Ginger Morby’s wedding. Small detail: I have never met Ginger Morby. I became blog-acquainted with Ginger and her sister Valerie eons ago, and then we started emailing, and – yes – even Facebook video messaging.  If you are wondering how I could grow to like someone enough to…

I have always prided myself on the fact that I think I would have survived on the Oregon Trail.  I’m hardy, a tough cookie, a survivor. But there is no way I would have survived 69 days in a cave underground. The Chilean miner rescue is one of the most amazing, inspiring stories I’ve ever…

Oh, my friends….

I’ve got a few boxes of CDs in the trunk of my car, and I need to move them out.  You know – to make room for the dead bodies. My EP is on sale for half-off – yes, that’s right, just $5!  Now is your chance to get a few extra copies to set…

I’ve decided to write an email today instead of a blog.  I love writing emails, but I’ve been so bad at sending them these days.  So much correspondence has slipped by the wayside.  I have months of messages that I want to respond to, but when I email all day for work, the last thing…

Mankind, sit up and take note. With one seamless effort, I have – once again – proven myself the best parallel parker in the universe.  Gold medal, AP. – – – – – – – – Here are Julie and Mel, my former roommates who were bridesmaids in a friend’s wedding last weekend.  They are…
