What Day Is It?
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 1, 2020
I never thought I’d be this way. At least not until I retired. But let’s face it—writers never really retire. They tend to drop dead at their desks. I’d actually like to go in my sleep. So perhaps I’ll fall asleep on my desk—and then drop dead. Though I don’t want that to happen for […]

Cleanliness is Next to Sloppiness
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

When Killer Trees Attack!
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
During quarantine, I’ve been trying to spend time outside each day. I watch the squirrels, listen to the birds, and commune with nature. Actually, I’m mainly getting out so that I don’t completely lose it being stuck in the house most of the time. Lately, though, I’ve also been watching my husband. Before I get […]

Loafing Around
By Michele Wojciechowski on September 22, 2020
During this quarantine, I’ve discovered a lot about my husband. Like if he could, he’d work from home forever. Or how he likes sitting on the front porch to watch hummingbirds just as much as I do. Oh, and he’s cheating on me. But it’s not what you think: it’s not with another woman (or […]

Playing Chicken
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 16, 2014
I’ve been writing this column for over a decade. Often, friends and readers say, “Did that really happen?” And I respond, “Life is hilarious. You just can’t make this stuff up.” Thus begins this week’s column… I was recently coming out of an office building after a professional meeting. My assistant was with me. I […]

Pantry Pride
By Michele Wojciechowski on October 12, 2012
When you read this title, did you think I was going to write all about the former grocery store chain, Pantry Pride? Well, I’m not. This week’s tale is about the pride I can finally take in my pantry. Yes, this is how pathetic my life is. I’m excited about the fact that I organized […]
