I have never met Alison Sweeney. I don’t even know anybody that knows her. I have no reason to think she is anything other than a wonderful person. So it is irrational for me to be so annoyed by her ubiquitous presence. I read numerous magazines each month to generate writing ideas (which, of course,…
Here is Part Two of our continuing list of Good Things About Being Over 50. (Click HERE if you missed the first five!) 1. We know how to delegate. 2. We not only know how to handle our moods, we can help others deal with them, too. 3. We can…
Anybody missing a little something where there used to be more eyebrow? You probably have never thought of me as a poet – and chances are good this poem won’t change your thinking. But you just might be able to relate! I call this literary work: THE SHIFTING SANDS OF HAIR:…

Do you have a buddy who’s excited about the arrival of her first grandchild? Is she living close enough to be a frequent provider of care? How about throwing her a ‘Granny Shower?’ While baby showers are generally intended for mothers-to-be (or – to reflect how enlightened I am – parents-to-be), they’re not the only…
