The Lighter Side
The Joy of Puppy Love
Thursday, September 13th, 2007I am dyed in the wool cat person. It’s not that I don’t like dogs, I really do. Some of them have really won their way into my heart. At the end of the day, though, I am all about felines and can think of nothing better than a cat to curl up to. That’s [...]
How NOT to Handle Unwanted, Stressful, “Life-Happens” Situations
Monday, June 26th, 2006After a weekend of drenching rains in the Mid-Atlantic which have proceeded to flood the main floor of my house, I thought I’d use my periodic bouts of reacting (versus calm responding) to add a humorous yet helpful post to the blog.

Sunday, January 15th, 2006Here’s a funny little tale that I consider worthy of “a day in the life …” sort of story. It involves assumptions, confusion, the Pope, a tuxedo, and two lesbians.
