I have a closet FULL of clothes; like many women, I suppose, but I never seem to have anything wear. And with my functionality issues, some things – jeans, for example – just aren’t practical any more. I was looking through a catalog yesterday and saw some cute medical uniform pants, which got me thinking [...]

Lighten up. I’m not discussing mafia tactics; I have a kid who’s hard on electronics. In the space of a week, she fried her netbook and her brother’s laptop. She seems to have some kind of reverse force field that sucks computers in and kills them. And since I need to get her a new [...]

There was a time – not so long go – that I knew as much about fashion as virtually anyone, if not more. Now I’m not saying age has anything to do with this, but here lately other things have just become more important. So I’m blitzing around the blogosphere, reading articles from a variety [...]

I tend to not watch commercials, mainly because I’m very impatient, always involved in multiple activities at one time. Every once in a while, however, something will catch my eye. Last night it was an advertisement for a law firm interested in representing victims of asbestos mesothelioma. Of course, that made me think of Obama-NO-care, [...]

Hate to sound like a broken record, but HOLY COW has it ever been HOT!! The unfortunately high temperatures have interfered with everything, especially my physical training, since the air conditioner in the house we’re staying in for the next couple of weeks just doesn’t work very well. Always cranky when I’m not exercising; the [...]
