Movie season to me is from Christmas to the end of February. The announcements for nominees for The Golden Globes and The Oscars motivate me and my friends to go to the theater about once a week to cover all the Best Picture films. And if any are out while I...
When the Health-Crazed Organic-Man Hubby is away, the rest of us eat pizza, hamburgers, spaghetti and enchiladas. Pretty much anything with starch in the main course is a treat. I cook, except hamburgers. I can’t top my favorite organic burger from Roam, about...
I tell ya, sometimes I’m going along and I’m stopped in my tracks. A small pet peeve rears its head. Something like a cereal-crusted bowl next to the sink instead of soaking in the sink or rinsed out and placed in the dishwasher and it bugs me. Or, it...

I’m starting a positivity campaign and I hope you’ll join me. For 100 days in 2017, I pledge to post a happy, heartwarming or humorous message on my blog. While the type of message is in keeping with my blog’s mission, the frequency is ten times higher than in 2016....
