Regular readers of this column are familiar with our dogs who, until Riley the Wonder Dog, preferred to go by pseudonyms to protect their privacy. Snoopy was actually named Scooby, Steve was really Rascal, and our sweet girl Rose was really named Daisy. Four years ago, Scooby passed. Rascal followed a little over two […]

My husband, Brad, and I are pretty good about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. I’m not a good singer. At all. You don’t want me singing at your wedding—unless, that is, you want to drive everyone out of the church or ceremony holding their ears and screaming. Brad is not a fan of public […]

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, […]

As I write this, it’s nearing the end of February, and while I long for spring, there’s something else I could really use right now. A big, honking snowstorm.

For the last couple of months, folks around me have been getting sick. Seems like every time I talked with someone, either they or a family member was sick. Then sick again. And again. And while I’ve thought the thought that I dare not express, the one that would assure me to be a viable […]

So, are you excited about our Ravens being in the Super Bowl? Oh. My. God… I am so excited! I want to see us win—not just because I love the team, but because I think it will be the perfect ending to Ray Lewis’ illustrious career. But I wasn’t always this way. No, my fellow […]

I’m old enough to remember the days when grocery stores consisted of a little corner store where the owner knew your name, customers ran tabs, and the lady behind the counter (the owner’s wife) would throw a candy bar in the bag for me at no charge. Boy, have times changed.

Regular readers of this column may remember how I wrote last year about not making any New Year’s resolutions. You know, like losing weight, exercising more, or getting organized. But as I sit here looking at my paper-laden home office, one word comes to mind: firetrap.

I didn’t think this Riley dog was so bad. In fact, for the first week, I thought I’d gotten me a sweet gig—easy work, and I pay back my “so-called” debt to Elfsociety. But now this mutt is scaring the *^&% out of me. First, he just was knocking over some trash cans. Problem is […]
