Do you know how there is that thing? You know the thing that makes you ALWAYS think of someone else. It could be a cologne that the best smelling guy in college wore or an off the shoulder sweater your aunt liked. Maybe even the feel of a blanket that reminds you of your mom’s house. …

We Have A New Pop
This has been an interesting week to be on my sick-couch. The news has been inundated with media people keeping an eye on the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Watching a chimney for smoke does not really make for great entertainment UNLESS you start thinking about the cardinals …
Halloween Hooch
Boo! Eeeek! Halloween is next week and I’m receiving requests for some “spirits” to celebrate the day of the dead. Now those of you who REALLY know me, know I am a scaredy cat. I still believe there is a monster in my closet and that there is someone under the bed trying to grab …
