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 […]

My Husband, the Carry-all
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 20, 2021
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 […]

Things I Like in Theory
By Michele Wojciechowski on May 12, 2021
I like a lot of things. That’s true. But after doing some deep thinking while stuck at home during the pandemic, I’ve realized that there are also a lot of things I like in theory, but not in practice. Confused? Let me explain.

Our Secret Recipes
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 23, 2021
My late mom was an excellent cook. She made amazing lasagna, stuffed cabbage, spaghetti sauce, chili—the list goes on and on. But the one treat she made each Christmas season, the one that everyone desired, was her creamy, rich chocolate fudge. She would make tons and tons of fudge and give it out to the […]

Why Can’t Sleeping Dogs Lie…in One Spot? Part Deux…
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 19, 2021
I began my last column talking about our dog, Riley, and how he’s cute. He is cute. Very, very cute… For the most part, having him sleep in our bed with my husband and me is not bad. Because, well, we’re asleep. And if we’re both in a deep sleep, Riley could have a party, […]

Why Can’t Sleeping Dogs Lie…in One Spot?
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 8, 2021
Our dogs, Riley and Mae, are really, really cute… And it’s this cuteness that, some days—or in this case, nights—is the only thing that keeps them alive. Truth be told, I wouldn’t hurt them, ever. But I would seriously think about throwing them out of our bedroom. Because, my friends, you just haven’t lived until […]

Mad Dog
By Michele Wojciechowski on April 6, 2021
One of my dogs has gone mad. No, not the kind where she’s got rabies and running havoc through 1890s London. And it’s not the kind of mad where she made a potion in her doggie laboratory, and has now turned into Ms. God (Get it? Dr. Dog and Ms. God…Okay, never mind.) It’s certainly […]
