Snow Blind
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 11, 2021
As I write this, it’s the middle of February, and while I long for spring, there’s something else I could really use right now. A big, honking snowstorm. Yeah, I know. We complain about it when it snows. We shovel it. We hoard food when it’s about to happen. And, as I mentioned, we complain […]

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 4, 2021
Normally, I don’t need visuals to go along with my column, but today I do. See that photo that shows what happens when you’re on a cell phone call and another call is coming in through Call Waiting? Yeah, well when that happens, for some reason, my brain shuts down. That might be an exaggeration. […]

Retinal Rage, Part II (Electric Boogaloo)
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 28, 2021
When we last left our intrepid columnist, she had just had her pupils dilated to the size of pie plates and was about to get examined by the retinal specialist, Dr. J. The column ended with her seeing something that she had never seen before. First Dr. J. made me put my chin in that […]

Retinal Rage
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 21, 2021
Not quite two years ago, I was at a writers’ conference. After I got a shower one morning, I looked into the mirror in the bathroom and was frightened by what I saw.

He’s Too Sexy for His Pants
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 14, 2021
My husband is a tough man to buy gifts for. This isn’t because he’s picky about them. He just doesn’t really want for much. Seriously. It’s probably a good thing, as I’m the opposite. I can see a catalog and think, “Wow—this would look great in the living room” or “I would love to have […]

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 […]

Resolution Revolution
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 31, 2020
In our society, the dawning of the New Year gives us a clean slate. And after the hell known as 2020, boy, do we need one. We can begin fresh. It’s also the time when many of us make resolutions that have bitten the dust by February 1, but that’s besides the point. I’ve decided […]

You Know What I Like…Not
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 17, 2020
Ah, holiday shopping. While fun for some, for others it’s the bane of their existence. I fall somewhere in between. If I’m shopping early, it’s fun. If it’s late, and I’m rushing like a dog that’s got the “zoomies,” it’s not fun. In fact, I’d rather just have the zoomies and run around my house […]

Countless Christmas Catalogs
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 10, 2020
When I was a little girl, one of the most magical things about the Christmas season was in a book that arrived at our home each year. At about a couple of inches thick, it was filled with the dreams of every good girl and boy at Christmastime. (Well, I’m sure the bad ones like […]

Phishing for Dates
By Michele Wojciechowski on December 3, 2020
I love social media. There, I said it. I know that a lot of folks don’t like it because it can be negative or people can try and scam you. I totally understand. But it’s also brought me back in touch with a lot of people from various areas of my life. If social media […]
