I guess it was inevitable. Last week, I contracted Covid. This week, I feel about 58.9% better. Since I really can’t pull too many thoughts or sentences together, I thought I’d re-blog Mitch Temley. He’s a popular blogger, writer, filmmaker and public speaker who lives with his wife in Cincinnati, Ohio. When I noticed one…

My Afternoon with Matthew McConaughey
It really all started with Instagram. When the new year began, I finally decided to join. At its most basic, I always considered it a photography platform, and I am not a photographer. But I hit “Create an Account” anyway and started following family and some public figures. I posted a handful of tepid nature…

M&M: Mars and Maya
Mischief is afoot this week with the Super Bowl returning for its LVII season and, with it, the inevitable roll-out of the best of 2023’s television advertising.

The Sky’s the Limit
Bloganuary Challenge Prompt: What is a superpower you’d love to have? A friend once told me that I was a fanatic when it came to the subject of weather, and she wasn’t wrong. The way I’ve referenced the polar vortex, thundersnow or straight-line winds, it’s possible that I may have been a radio or television…

Music Trivia For $200
In 2016, my husband and I were invited to join a table for Trivia night whose members met weekly inside the restaurant of our community clubhouse. Each table was considered a team and they were allowed up to nine players. If your team won, it would receive a food and beverage $25.00 gift card which,…

Garage Sales, the Internet & A Santa
I’m poking around my house again. About every two years, I hear the call of the Garage Sale Sirens. I begin to pull out various items I rarely or have literally never used and set up shop in my garage for a few hours on a Saturday morning. On average, I would guess that 40%…

Fins: A Summer Memory
It was the Monday of Labor Day weekend 2015. My husband and I had only been living in our newly adopted state for 33 days. We had driven from the Chicago area to our new community east and south of Orlando, Florida; just a 20- minute drive from the Atlantic coast. We were renting an…
