Feeling under the weather? And I don’t mean the snow… I was too, recently. Despite eating well, exercising, taking vitamins, getting enough sleep, and doing anything else I could to stay healthy, I caught the dreaded “What’s Going Around.”

Do you know when the Olympics are taking place? No, me neither… It’s not like we can turn on the television, radio, internet, or even look at any magazine or newspaper without knowing what the latest event is and who won, who lost, who’s too fat, who’s too thin, who let everyone down, and who […]

I’ve been writing this column for over a decade. Often, friends and readers say, “Did that really happen?” And I respond, “Life is hilarious. You just can’t make this stuff up.” Thus begins this week’s column… I was recently coming out of an office building after a professional meeting. My assistant was with me. I […]

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 although we could do things like go back to school to become a rocket scientist, become an activist and end world hunger, or dedicate […]

As I’ve written in years past, my husband and I receive over 100 catalogues each holiday season. You read that right—over 100. I don’t know why we get so many because we order from very few of them. But I’m guessing that they buy lists from other companies of folks to mail to hoping against […]

My husband and I have been married for a long time. A really long time. As in, since God was a boy. Well, not that long, but you get the picture. And when you’ve been together with someone you love for many years, you think you know everything about that person. Their likes, dislikes; what […]

Dear Readers—I know you’re out there, and sometimes I even hear from you. Such was the case when Essex resident Howard Sheckells wrote to me. He suggested a column topic that hits close to home for everyone—especially if you’ll be heading to the grocery store to shop for Thanksgiving dinner.

I love hearing waterfalls, flowing streams, and even fountains. The peaceful sound of running water is so soothing to me. As a result, I really enjoyed the recent day we had of heavy rain—mainly because I didn’t have to go out. Unless, however, that sound is coming from my basement.

Halloween is almost here. My husband and I have noticed that in the last few years we’ve been getting quite a lot of—ahem–older trick-or-treaters. Like practically college age. So we’ve come up with some more rules this year that we’d like the kids to follow.

There are two radio stations in central New York State that have begun playing Christmas music… Um, you do remember that it’s only October, right? In fact, it’s hot right now. “Indian Summer,” as we used to call it when I was a kid, has shown up, and we actually had to put the air […]
