Observations, Rants, and a Kick in the Pants
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 8, 2022
Every so often, I like to do one of these columns. It’s not going to be about a specific topic. But rather, things that have annoyed me, fascinated me, or just generally taken space up in my head. I usually write all these thoughts down on tiny scraps of paper, and put them in a […]

This is for the Birds
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 22, 2021
I grew up in Baltimore City, and my exposure to wildlife in terms of birds was either pigeons, Tweety Bird from the Warner Brothers’ cartoons, or Big Bird on Sesame Street—and he doesn’t even fly! When my husband and I moved to our dream home more than a decade ago, we got all “birded out.” […]

Dress and Dress Alike
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 16, 2021
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 […]

Not What It Seems
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 8, 2021
I’ve come up with this crazy notion. I think that from now on foods and drinks should taste like what they are—that particular food or drink. I know—insane, isn’t it? I guess I’m just an old-fashioned kind of gal. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me give you an example. I first […]

Vegging Out
By Michele Wojciechowski on July 1, 2021
I’m not a full-fledged vegetarian. But sometimes I get pretty darned close. I’ve always been squeamish and easily grossed out. So finding something in my ham or steak or chicken that resembles a vein or artery or muscle… Clunk… Oh, sorry, I fainted there for a minute. Just let me get some blood rushing back […]

Grocery Stores: Not Just Selling Canned Goods Anymore
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 24, 2021
As the pandemic restrictions have begun lifting, I’ve occasionally ventured back into stores of all kinds: clothing, housewares, hardware, you name it (And I’m still wearing a mask even though I’m vaccinated. Think I’ll be doing that for a while) … And I’ve actually gone back to grocery stores as well. But not often, as […]

Cicadas: The Last Hurrah
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 17, 2021
When you last heard from your intrepid humor columnist, she was freaking out about the cicadas…we join her, while she’s doing much of the same: Over the last week, the song of the cicadas has been getting more and more quiet. But the sound of me screaming because of them has not.

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 […]

Lady? Spot? Blanche Devereaux?
By Michele Wojciechowski on June 3, 2021
My husband and I were talking recently about the weird things that people name their kids. It’s usually celebrities, and they have named their children names that make most folks wince. Like Apple. Or North. Or Moxie Crimefighter (I swear that I didn’t make this up—this is the name of magician Penn Jillette’s daughter). So […]

I’m Not a Doctor, but I Play One on the Web
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 27, 2021
While I love the Internet, there’s one thing about it that makes me run screaming away from my computer. Is it because I can learn—up to the minute—what crisis is going on in the lives of each and every Kardashian? Nope. Because I keep getting ads that ask if I want to become a million-dollar […]
