‘Til You Wise Up

The Prompt: When was the last time you felt as if things were falling apart? How was the situation resolved? This famous scene from “Magnolia” came to mind when I read this question. Wise Up It’s not What you thought When you first began it You got What you want Now you can hardly stand […]

Why would anyone want to celebrate another year of me?

I sit here nearing the end of October and simply overwhelmed with grief at all that I’ve missed this autumn, nearly every autumn. No leaves, no haunted house, no giant rubber duck picture, no brisk walks at dusk. I missed most of the film festival and all of the animal Halloween costume contests. Laura has […]

I’m Not a Fool

The Prompt: Are you easily tricked? Do you fall for things? Sure, I fall for things and people and ideas all of the time. I also fall for pranks and lines and ridiculously catchy pop songs.  I’m susceptible to feel good stories, perhaps because I hear so many of the opposite kind. But I’m not a […]

Anticipating The reIntroduction of Lucas Jones to General Hospital

Since yinz seem to really like my soap opera posts, here’s another one that I’ve been ruminating on this week. Lucas Jones is coming back to General Hospital. That’s a reasonable conclusion based on the fact that’s already involved in a storyline even off the canvas and the frequent sudden mentions. Lucas is the adopted […]

Goodbye Glee

I didn’t watch manyepisodes of GLEE last year because of the change in the schedule. Still, I felt an investment in knowing what happened to the characters I had come to appreciate. I was also pleased GLEE made it this long – I still feel bad about “My So Called Life” and “Popular” ending too […]

Kinzua

The Prompt: Are you scared of heights or do you love looking down from a high point? When I was a kid, I would set up the ladder and scurry up on the roof of our ranch house. I couldn’t see much from the front and I was a little frightened of going onto the back […]

UPDATED: Dear Pittsburgh Pirates

Pittsburgh, Pirates, Spirit Day

You rock. All those ignorant haters posting craptastic garbage on your Facebook page today simply because you threw up some purple are the EXACT REASON why we need you and all of the other teams to stand proud as allies. Consider this, haters. In 2011, the Pirates released this video, one of the first teams […]

To Sleep Or Not To Sleep

The Prompt: How long does it take you to fall asleep? I’m starting this post wide awake at 11 while everyone else is asleep. That in spite of the fact that I am still sick and felt bone tired earlier. And I take bedtime meds that are slightly sedating. Typically, I fall asleep soon after […]

Social Media Presentation

As you may know, I offer “social media support” to local non-profits, small business and individuals – technically, I’m a consultant, but I consider myself more of a hand-holder/tutor. I’ve done everything from teach someone how to use Twitter to develop social media strategies. So, hey, give me a call if you need someone to […]
