Don’t forget your Cicada gear!! It’s that time of year. Hot muggy days. Spot showers and thunderstorms. Counting the days left before school begins. And a “buzz” in the air. Yep –those PIA cicadas. Like you, I’m fascinated by the noise, habits, and rituals of these not so pretty insects. I think it’s cool how one starts to […]
Waffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, oh, yeah!!!! :)))) And you’ve got to get that great waffle shirt above (google: waffle t-shirt) If you do get it, PLEASE send me a pic with you wearing it. Thanks! With my engrained morning routine of waking up and getting to the office early to work on your […]

Happy Birthday, America! Bold stripes, bright stars, brave hearts. Let freedom ring! Enjoy the day with family and friends.
Oh, man, I’m hungry!!! :))))))))))))) With summer approaching, Jackie and I are getting more invitations to backyard parties and get togethers. And as tradition has it, we often offer to “bring” something to be shared with the other guests. I’m lucky as Jackie has a whole bunch of fun recipes – appetizers, salads, side dishes and […]

No matter how smart and savvy a person may be, investing can be an emotional rollercoaster. If you are like me, the investment marketplace just continues to baffle me.
