It’s the calm before the storm. That time soon before your guests arrive. You look in the fridge, wondering if you’ve forgotten something. (Like that time we left a whole tray of cocktail shrimp in there and only found it as we were putting things away.) The table is set, the oven’s warming up. You’re…
Music Fridays: Somewhere Cool with You
I got a text message from S last Saturday that said I should look for this song and turn it up loud. When I saw the title I understood right away why he sent that text, but then when I listened to it I was surprised to hear it’s a country song because he doesn’t…
The Sunday Post: The Bright Side
I awoke this morning to the ping of a message on my phone letting me know the power was out in my neighborhood and was most likely out in my condo. I guess if I’d been awake I would have figured that out for myself already, but after a quick check to my bedside lamp,…
Music Fridays: Ready for a change
How’s your week been? I’m going to confess that it’s been a weirdly emotional one for me, and I can’t say with certainty that I understand why. It started out pretty good: Valentine’s flowers from S to start the weekend and then more roses from my son (along with his company) on Sunday made me…

The Sunday Post: 5 Things
A recent #Bloganuary prompt was to list five things I’m grateful for today. Unless you’re a new reader on this blog, you know that this is a topic I’ve written about quite a bit in the last year and a half, so this is not a hard topic and one I find easy to write…
Music Fridays: Paradise by the Dashboard Light
At one point I knew all the lyrics. I still sing along to this song every time it comes on. I can’t help myself. Another one lost too soon.
