As is often the case on Sunday, I go out to lunch after church, and as is often the case on Sunday, I fall victim to the buffet. Buffet, when translated to its literary origin means “gluttony”, which in turn means the inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. See? That translates [...]

Last week I spent a delicious couple of days with Krispy Kreme in Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the VIB Blogger Summit. The first day we donned our protective gear and took a tour of the facility. Here’s me and my pal Louise, from MomStart. I was really impressed with how carefully they select and test [...]

I’m a hardcore pessimist, but I stumbled, tripped and fell flat on my face over the propaganda of Y2K.

Dear God, I’m a mess. I drove the whole freakin’ way there and back by myself. No sleep stops – just driving. Through the mountains. In the dark. Brain dead. And I love my nieces and nephews, but those punk turds sent me home with a cold. I was six years running without illness. Little [...]

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!!
