Let’s Dress Up and Go

One of my favorite times of the year is Halloween. I love the decorations, the abundance of pumpkin spice (creamer, cereal, marshmallows, even Goldfish), carving pumpkins, and of course the costumes.  The original Iron Man Costume was fun to make!  Over the years, I’ve really enjoyed it when the girls would get dressed up – […]

Spinning Magic

The other day I was heading into the office, turned the corner, and got a face full of spiderweb – followed by the embarrassing “A !@#$%^&*%$#@$$#^&, spiderweb on me” dance, while frantically wiping it from my body. I hope no one saw me! My girls know how I really feel about spiders! That delicate strand […]

BLT Please

Out to lunch with a “very good customer” this week, I found myself scouring the menu. Soup, naw, burger, naw, salad, naw… only to land on one of my favorites – a BLT. Toasty bread, salty bacon, creamy mayo, crispy lettuce, and of course glorious tomatoes- it doesn’t get much better… unless of course you […]

Prost

As we slide in October, I had a bit of nostalgia from a business trip I took years ago, (of course there to help solve my customer’s PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs!, which ALMOST included a visit to the world’s largest folk festival known as Oktoberfest, but just couldn’t sneak it in! Part county […]

“Do Do Do Do – Do Do Do Do”

For those of us old enough to remember, and those of us who enjoyed late-night Friday sleepovers watching reruns with our BFFs, there is simply nothing more incredible, thought-provoking, and memorable than Rod Serling and his classic hit TV Series, The Twilight Zone. The show debuted on this day way back in 1959, ran for […]

Now That’s Debatable

Social media. Wow, what a battleground. Seems whenever someone posts a thought or idea or perspective, people pounce – some in support, some in disagreement, and some offering a different perspective on the matter. Like you, I’ll admit sometimes I get caught up in the debate, then realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion… […]

The Last Dog Days of Summer

It’s almost impossible to enjoy summer without, at some point, a hot dog in your hand. You know… a dog, burger, and potato or macaroni salad just make the day. As we head into the fall season, I thought it a good idea to fire up the grill and enjoy one last “dog.” With further […]

Slang – 1800s Style

Slang is a way of expressing oneself using words that have a different meaning than the actual words. Cool Beans, Cat’s Pajamas, Puttin on the Dog, Chill, Talk to the Hand, Keep Your Shirt On, and so many others, some of which you’ve probably used or heard in the past. For us baby boomers, many […]

Summer Harvest

As we’re winding down in August, I was thinking about all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables available for eating. Trying to broaden my palate, somewhat tired of the “dogs and burgers” selection (only somewhat!!!) So, I thought I’d roam a bit and see what’s out there. Sweet corn is of course on my list, […]
