Cicadas Here, Cicadas There, Stupid Cicadas Everywhere!
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 10, 2021
As the little girl said in front of the snowy television screen in Poltergeist, “They’re heeeeeeeerrrrrreeeee!” The big red-eyed, large-winged, drunk-flying, 17-years-underground cicadas are out here in Maryland. 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 […]

Ready or Not, Here They Come
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 13, 2021
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.

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 […]

A Cut Above the Rest
By Michele Wojciechowski on August 25, 2020
Because we’ve been under quarantine for months now, many of us have hair that’s looking a bit–well, let’s say that sans haircuts or color or blowouts or…you get the picture. Our hair has seen better days. At least I know not to cut it myself. I did that once years ago, and it was a […]

The Weekend My Husband Got Sick
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 23, 2015
My husband doesn’t get sick very often. But when he does, it’s usually with something mild—like a cold or a sore throat—and he spends the next 48-72 hours driving me crazy and acting like a whiny baby. Please know that I love my husband. I really do. Because of this–and because we’ve been together, well, […]

Why Am I in This Room?
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 9, 2015
I have an excellent memory. Really—in that it’s so good that sometimes it’s almost creepy. Here’s an example for you: I’ll hear a song on the radio or while my husband and I are out. Here’s what comes next, I say something like, “I remember this song! It was out the first year we were […]

The Method of My Madness
By Michele Wojciechowski on March 26, 2015
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?
