STA-PUF PRO SPORT

Gene glared at me, wounded. He was hurt – mostly that I was laughing at him, because who likes to be laughed at? And there I was, tears streaming, shaking with laughter, doubled over with silent guffaws and unable to stop, or even catch my breath without a braying rasp. To be fair, he was also actually injured.

My Dragonfly

Sailing with Aunt Jean

My Aunt Jean was a combination of Auntie Mame and Captain Jack Sparrow. She drank like a sailor but could affect the manners of the well-bred. From 1953 until 1967, Aunt Jean sailed the seas on what was known as America’s ocean liner, The United States.

Sunday Dinner

Hoarding Battles

Our attic qualifies as a place where we guard and preserve our hidden treasures, among many other random items, but I wish it didn’t.

The Power of Music

What Makes Music So Powerful? Good soulful music moves through your mind, rolls around, pops the toe, loosens your jaw, and ah!

January Clean Up

Do you get excited about January? It seems like most people do. It’s a New Year and with it comes reflection, new beginnings, and new (same) diet and workout resolutions.
