A Weighty Issue
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 7, 2021
The beginning of the year is the time when we get a clean slate—if we’ve screwed up in the last 12 months, we can “wipe it clean” and begin again. And considering that lots of us may have put on what they’re referring to as the COVID 19—like the Freshman 15 for the 15 pounds […]

The Seven Day Rule
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 27, 2020
My husband and I have been together since, well as I tell folks, God was a boy. And while it hasn’t quite been that long, we’ve been with together long enough to be aware of each other’s idiosyncrasies—even if we still don’t fully understand them.

Paging Doctor Wojo
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 12, 2020
My husband and I were talking recently, and it turns out that I’ve missed my calling. Instead of being a writer, I should have been a doctor. Not because I’d be great at medical procedures. I am so weak-stomached that I can’t even watch when I get my own blood taken. When my friends in […]

Mothra vs. Wojo
By Michele Wojciechowski on November 5, 2020
It was a normal, sunny day in the land of Wojo. And in her home office, our heroine was reading through some notes on her desk, preparing to write a story. The townspeople—AKA her two dogs—were sleeping peacefully at her feet. It was a good day. Until it arrived…

By Michele Wojciechowski on October 29, 2020
I usually write a Halloweenesque column that focuses on the rules of Trick-or-Treating. But with the pandemic and quarantine happening, I figured that I needed a new theme. This year, I’m going to give you tips on What To Do If You Find Yourself In A Horror Movie.

Mosquitoes Really Suck
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 8, 2020
When I was a little girl, I hated mosquitoes. Not that anyone actually loves the little suckers. But I really, really hated them. Because when I got bit by mosquitoes, the bites swelled up so bad that if I got them behind my knees, it was tough to bend them. Seriously. It was just awful. […]

Over the years, I have been becoming more and more of a sports fan. I’ve always loved baseball, and I enjoy indoor soccer. Nearly seven years ago, I became a true blue football fan. But basketball?

Let Your Fingers Do the Walking…

THUNK! That used to be the sound we would hear when the delivery man would plunk down two huge phone books on our front steps—the white pages and the yellow pages. We used them all the time. As the internet has become so important in our daily lives, I haven’t used one of those phone […]
