As I sit here, the Saturday morning of the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, looking at my battered bracket, I think to myself “I am not good at this picking games thing.” And it is true, I am not. I remember one year, many years ago when I worked at a sports bar, …

Target Demographics
The moments were great, when you realized you are finally in the adult demographic that advertisers are gunning for. You are hearing the music from your younger days at the grocery store. The same songs are in the background of the soda and beer ads. You have arrived, you have the money they want, they …
So Far, So Something…
We have officially knocked down the first month of 2024, and we are into February. I love when people go on about how long January can be. It kind of does overstay its welcome most years. I am one of the people that believes no one month is all good and no month is all bad, although as …
Wild and Mild
I am not trying to jinx anything, or cause undue weather changes. But thus far, it’s been a mild season. Winter doesn’t officially hit us for a few days, the Winter Solstice I believe. I love this milder stuff, I don’t need a “White Christmas” to feel the magic of the season. But, when there is a bunch of …
Fifty Four
I find myself in a rather amazing place. My mid 50s. For starters, how did that happen? I still often feel like I am not even close to mature enough to be an adult, let alone an adult firmly in the midst of her middle age years. It’s not a bad gig at all, truly, …
Surrender
I was recently asked how I would feel about surrendering to a situation, versus continuing to beat my head against a metaphorical brick wall. Giving up, instead of continuing a chase of a situation that is unlikely to resolve itself any time soon. In that moment, I was a little scared of what happens if …
Don’t Go Changin’
It’s time change weekend. Daylight savings comes to an end, and it’s dark by about noon now or something. But I feel good because I got up at 7am this morning, or did I? This is probably one of the things people consistently bitch about in the most in the cycle of a year. I …
No! Not Chandler!
I went to the movies with BFF Amy last night. We went and saw The Killers of the Flower Moon. It was a dark movie, long, but very good. Three hours long, and when we got out, and went our separate ways, I got home and looked at my phone. First thing I see on …
Tough
It’s been a tough week. Not an impossible week, but with a lot going on in the world, it felt very heavy all week. Plus there are all the things that happen when you have to spend your life as an adult. My life usually isn’t traumatic, and it wasn’t truly that bad compared to …
Slow Your PSL Roll
Fall apparently started in the wee hours of the morning today, at like 1:50am. It didn’t automatically become Fall Weather, however, as I am quite sure I had a hot flash around that time so grabbing the closest hoodie was the last thing I was going to do. That is the fun of aging as …
