I remember times when I would come back from my mailbox with my hands overflowing with junk mail. Luckily, with so much information being exchanged via the World Wide Web, that’s not the case so much anymore. I think the trees are happy about this too. That said, there are times when it’s easy to […]

I promised a lot of things when I got married—for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do us part. But there were two things that I wouldn’t promise. One was to Obey (“What, am I your dog?” was what I think I said…), and the […]

Dear readers, it’s time for one more episode of “Only in the Movies,” where you learn about more things that only happen in the movies, but don’t happen in real life. Why? Because it’s the summer, and I’ll bet you’ve gone to the movies or have watched some at home recently.

I’ve always had a lot of thick hair. Wasn’t always so curly—I can thank puberty for that—but since birth, let’s just say that I’ve had much more hair that the average Joe…or Jen. I’m lucky to have been seeing the same stylist for over 20 years now. (Of course, we were both only five when […]

My late mom was an excellent cook. She made amazing lasagna, stuffed cabbage, spaghetti sauce, chili—the list goes on and on. But the one treat she made each Christmas season, the one that everyone desired, was her creamy, rich chocolate fudge. She would make tons and tons of fudge and give it out to the […]

I originally had a different column for you to read this week—one that you’ll see soon, but not today. Because when you look outside your office window in late March and see more than four inches of snow on the ground, with more falling, well, you just need to comment on it. Really? I mean, […]
