The Sunday Post: The struggle is real
“Jolly” is maybe one of the last words I would use to describe how I felt this morning. A more accurate description would include words like “tired,” “morose,” and even “slightly hung over.” But considering that today is the day after our company Christmas party you might expect some of that. Except that, for the…
The Sunday Post: Rambling on into 2017
Ever sit down to write, knowing what you want to say, but just can’t get your thoughts organized enough to write them down in a way that makes sense to anyone else? That’s kind of where I am right now. So maybe I’ll try something different with this first post of the year: just write…
What’s on your mind?
That’s the prompt many of us see on a regular basis as we reach for our smartphones or computers and check in to see what’s going in the Facebook world. Today I’m home nursing a twisted knee (the result of a mis-step getting out of my fancy, low-riding car last night) and so I’m spending…

The Sunday Post: A Wedding in the Family
Yesterday was Sarah and Joe’s wedding. Seven months of planning and about two weeks of final preparations, coordination and implementation, led to a muggy, at times rainy, and then beautiful, Saturday afternoon when Sarah nervously walked down the aisle on the arm of her father. About a third of the way down the aisle I…
Feeling Cranky
I’m feeling kind of cranky today. Cranky and tired. Coffee hasn’t helped, and today my granola bar seems mostly dry and taste-free. In some circles I could maybe get away with attributing my mood to hormones and “that time of the month.” But I know why I’m feeling blue. Last night I was up late….
