I think we all need at least one really nice positive thing about the entertainment business every single day of the year, including weekends. Sometimes it may be something simple, like a video that showcases something fun and sometimes it may be a movie poster that embraces the aesthetic we all want Hollywood to aspire … Continue reading
I never thought I’d be a coffee snob. I avoided the stuff until this past year or so, opting instead for hot chocolate or chai tea and similar hot drinks with a spice. I don’t need my Starbucks/expresso/latte… (insert “coffee” term) fix ever. I’m just not one of those people. I was turned off by … Continue reading
This morning between 7:30 and 9:00 was a furious rush not unlike most other mornings. I’ve recently written about how I like to dream the commute to work differently. We all know it is mostly unpleasant. Now try to toss a couple of errands into the early morning soup and try to get to work … Continue reading
The summer I was 13 years old, I wrote my grandmother every four days. My mother had stressed that she was very lonely and looked forward to hearing from us.

And all because one of my co-workers set a box of toffee flavored shortbread cookies in the middle of the conference table for our 10am meeting…. His name is Rick Zengler. He’s an adventurous, sporty guy. The guy … Continue reading
During a hot Florida summer, at about ten, I found my favorite thing to do at Silver Springs: the glass bottom boat. If you’ve never done this before, you simply must experience the novelty of a glass bottom boat trip. You sit in a boat and look down at what you are drifting over, all … Continue reading
A dame weighs in on the film from a different angle. This is not a review!
If anyone knows me well, they know that I love to write (newsflash!) and that I love to play Scrabble, consuming 20 games at a time. I love words. Each new one you learn, you expand your ability to appreciate your world and to talk about it. I’m the proudest woman in town to have … Continue reading
