The Best Kiss of My Life
February 12, 2010Maybe it’s because it’s almost Valentine’s Day, or maybe it’s because this is the time of year I start dreaming of moving back home, or maybe it’s Robert Earl Keen on the radio — or it could be because the guy who gave me “the best kiss of my life” just found me on Facebook. [...]

That Doesn’t Count! Does Too! Does Not!
December 16, 2009I’ve been thinking about my New Year’s Resolution and I’ve decided, no computer time after 6:00 pm! Now I could tell a big ‘ole fib and say I’m writing this during the day but you and I both know it’s midnight and I’m sitting here with my computer in my lap. I’m not technically breaking my [...]

Now The Jingle Hop Has Begun
December 16, 2009You’ve worked your ass off to get where you are because well, everyone knows women work twice as hard as men and are at least 10 times as smart. As Ann Richards used to say, “The rooster crows but the hens deliver.” So now that you’ve got a title and maybe even a window you [...]

Moment of Truth
November 14, 2009From the title of my column you know that I lean toward telling the truth. Oh I fudge here and there and am apt to make a story funnier than it was the first time around, usually at my mother’s expense, but I assure you she doesn’t mind – in fact she kind of feels [...]

Just The Best
November 3, 2009The nurses at Fletcher Allen Hospital are the best. For the last few days they have provided my mom with excellent care, called her honey and dear, and served as the first line of defense; as did the nursing assistants who patiently changed her bedding at least four times today and lifted and held her [...]

Both Sides Now
August 6, 2009I’m sitting here with my mom watching a PBS celebration of Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday – you know, one of those shows they only do during pledge drives – and Joan Baez starts singing Jacob’s Ladder a cappella. Now you can’t get much better than Joan but I’m not really listening because I’ve been catapulted [...]

Second Note To God
July 16, 2009I have to tell you I was starting to lose faith this morning when I got up to rain but low & behold it’s the middle of the afternoon and the sun is shining, however — there’s a tiny little problem. There’s a cold front moving in this afternoon and it’s bringing thunderstorms. Now see [...]

Note to God
July 15, 2009I want to thank you for this absolutely perfect, sunny day in paradise — as opposed to all the crappy days we’ve had lately. You know the kind I’m talking about – the rainy we’d-turn-the-heat-on-if-it-were-this-cold-in-November days. Yeah, well we don’t want anymore of those. Now I don’t want to seem ungrateful for any day – I [...]

Y’all Come Over Now, Ya Hear!
July 5, 2009It’s time for a come to Jesus meetin and I’m here to tell you the gospel truth about what’s going on right here in our very own community. We’ve got trouble. That’s right we’ve got trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for porches. Somebody say, Amen! Now the porches [...]
