I’m back. Not sure for how long, but for the moment anyway, I am back. Like before, I didn’t go anywhere in particular. Just, away. From writing. Which is odd, because I quite enjoy it. In my defense, I’ve been extraordinarily busy for a few years. I moved—twice. I’ve been running my own food business […]
July 28th is a special day in my life….So many birthdays in my family. My BFF Lance. My cousin Evan. My quasi-cousin Jennifer. And it was supposed to be the day my first born came into the world. But he had his own ideas, and arrived two weeks early. But most notably, today is […]
It isn’t often that I write about my day job. Not that being a Human Resource professional isn’t interesting—it is. Maybe even TOO interesting at times. When the moon is full, I deal with so much crazy at work that I just want to go home and bake and write and forget about it. But […]

Avocados are my favorite fruits. Now, if you are like most people, I know what you’re thinking: “Avocados aren’t fruit. They can’t be fruit. Fruit is sweet. They must be vegetables, mustn’t they?” Actually, no. And yes. You see, there are so many theories, opinions, and disciplines involved, that depending on whose viewpoint you are […]

A blast from the past, to celebrate Pi Day…….. I was never good at math. Like most girls, I excelled in verbal acrobatics and science, but math and history were, well, Greek to me. Not surprising, I guess, since so much of what we know of math was first contemplated, theorized, solved, and proved […]

I just returned from a week in Texas Wine Country. Not exactly an exotic getaway, since I live 30 short minutes away, but it’s always nice to get away for a while. For a few years now, my parents have been renting this great little old ranch house for…
“Once you label me, you negate me….” —Soren Kierkegaard The above quotes is one of my favorite ever, and I use it often. Which in a way is pretty funny, because I only know it from having watched Wayne’s World, the movie, repeatedly, and if you don’t take the time to read subtitles, you would […]
