I am relatively obsessed with the TV show “This Is Us.” I know quite a few of my friends are as well, we text a lot of “what was that?” and “OMG” during the show or right after. It’s a well written and engaging show, and if you don’t watch it you can probably still …

Cold Enough For Ya?
It’s started early this year, the complaining about the weather. I am a full on participant this year. The temperature drop has been vicious and cruel, and ridiculously early. I think I read somewhere in my AARP materials that complaining about the weather is mandatory now that I carry their card with pride. It’s nice …
No! vember…
Things are going to get cranked up pretty good for the next month and a half or so. Holidays. Are you one that gets pulled in many directions? Your family, your significant other’s family, friends, work parties and more social engagements than you have in a full year? It’s all coming at you, ready or …
The Anti-Social Butterfly
I am a part of several groups and pages on Facebook, like most people. I like those groups most of the time because you can interact with people without actually having to deal with people. It’s fantastic, get in, get out and never actually have to meet anyone. One guy in a group posted for …
First Snow
We got our first real snowfall of the season overnight. It really isn’t much, a couple of inches. It wasn’t a surprise, the weather dudes have been telling us for about 5 days it would happen. People do have a tendency to act like it’s Armageddon on the first one, even though we live in …
A Day in My Shoes
Most of you know I work as a bartender/server, so a day in my shoes means my feet hurt. Well, a little some days. But truly my job is fantastic, like 95% of the time. I get to basically visit with people, hand them food and drinks, which everyone likes, and get cash money in …
The Wreck of the Hesperus
First of all, yes, I did have to look up how to spell “Hesperus.” This was something our Dad always said to us when we would roll out of bed all disheveled, or look like a general mess. I sure didn’t know what the Hesperus was, or what wrecked it, but the general message was …
Where Does This Hate Come From?
Yesterday while driving to the gym, I saw some protesters, which isn’t that unusual as I pass by a Planned Parenthood Clinic where this happens regularly. I don’t sweat those people too much, as that clinic doesn’t do abortions, and they have a right to be there. They don’t cause much trouble either, they hang …
Good Things, Great People, No Booze!
I just had a super fun weekend. I packed in quite a bit, and still worked a shift or two when I was supposed to!! I got through it all keeping my Sober October intact. Who knew? Since I usually work weekends, a lot of fun things happen without me being able to participate. But …
Choices and Stuff
I have been bartending, and serving, for nearly 30 years. It’s one of those things that when I say it out loud, it freaks me out a little, but it has flown by fast. When you spend that many years doing a job, you see and hear many things that don’t always pop up in …
