And they are out in droves! A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I, being way-too-curious about these monsters from my nightmares, decided to check our […]

I got bad news the other day. I knew it was coming, but I kept pretending that perhaps it just wouldn’t happen. You know, like you do with income taxes, falling asleep at 9 p.m., and getting excited when you buy a new dishwasher.

I like a lot of things. That’s true. But after doing some deep thinking while stuck at home during the pandemic, I’ve realized that there are also a lot of things I like in theory, but not in practice. Confused? Let me explain.

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…

This past winter was nasty. It was freezing cold, overcast, and snowy. I think if it had snowed one more time, many Marylanders would have been arrested for disturbing the peace. I know I might have been, as I would have been reduced to running screaming through the streets, waving my fist at the sky, […]

Just when you thought it was safe to read my column again, I’ve done what should very rarely be attempted in the movies—but is done all the time, especially in the summer–the dreaded sequel. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me help. A year and a half ago, I wrote a column […]

I don’t like bugs.
Really. I can’t stand them at all.
