The Athlete In Me
A while back, I had a discussion with some friends about Rich People. And yes, you need to capitalize Rich People because they are Special. Anyway, we were discussing the difference between Rich People and not-rich-people. Not the difference between Rich and poor – that’s obvious. But in these times when the average person has …
A New Best Day!
The best day of my life – February 9, 1964 – might just have been replaced! Fifty Years and Six Months later: HERE IT IS! I am an author! Really and Truly! My book is (finally!) for sale on Amazon: I have a cover! I have a back cover! I have a …
Best Morning Ever!
Back in February, I shared several of my favorite days, culminating of course with the best day of my life – so far, anyway – February 9, 1964. This week I remembered one very special morning. First, a little background. I spent much of my career at that bastion of testosterone, ESPN. If you are …
On The Job Training
I was commenting about work on a friend’s blog, when it occurred to me that I have been working for forty years. (And it would have been even longer except that I stretched out college for absolutely as long as my parents could stand.) Well, forty years of work life has provided me with some …
Man-Words
Over my 63 years, men have said some memorable things to me. So I present to you my Man-Word Awards! Best Pick-Up Line: I go all the way back to 1969 for this one, I was hanging around at the end of my summer job shift with some other teenagers, and I was wearing my …

I had a beach day yesterday. I love the beach, but my joy of the beach has always been mingled with overwhelming worry. Worry about my body. I’ve written many times about my self-consciousness on the beach. When I was a teenager, I worried about how skinny I was. I cannot think now of anything …
The Conspiracy
Summer re-run: Here’s a reprise from when I first started blogging. But I wasn’t doing illustrations back then, so at least the drawing is new. THE CONSPIRACY I have a theory for everything. Some of my theories are what my family calls “out there”, but I have one theory that has abundant evidence supporting …
Ice Cream Memories
My husband had to go pick up a part for his show car tonight. It’s an hour’s drive to the special store. (There’s a better name for this parts place, but I don’t know what the technical term is – “Expensive Shit Emporium”, maybe.) Anyway, Hubby didn’t want to make the two-hour round trip by …
Looking Good
The other day I was getting ready for work, and my hair and makeup came out especially nice – very rare indeed. And I loved what I was wearing, which was just a black v-neck long-sleeved tee (but that’s my favorite thing to wear with jeans). So after I made the bed, I documented my …
