This is not my Goddaughter Taira. I do not know this person…but I kind of wish I did. .. …at Lauren’s 26th birthday party. “Sooooo, should I be concerned that Lauren noticed some glitter on my face the other day and asked me if I’d been to a strip club?” I asked. “Huh?” said […]

The perfect place to think about words…glorious words! I’ve been putting the emphasis on the second syllable, when it actually belongs softly on the first. You may ask WHY I’d have the occasion to use the word “fecund” enough to care, right? Well I CARE about words a little too much. Just ask my […]
For those of you who know the story, this is not a picture of him. It’s a picture of Captain Ron from the movie of the same name. Uncanny resemblance, right? You may ask why the (at the time) darling of Ponte Vedra would fall for a jobless, penniless bounder who crucified the English language […]
Don’t we look like throw backs from the Beatle-mania days? Just a couple of “birds” on Boris Bikes. At the end of one of the Pilates tapes I do sporadically, the plucky instructor Mari Winsor says, “Be consistent!” Every time I hear her say those words I wish she were a REAL person, so I […]
Do not go to the internet and Goggle “Drunk Russians” unless you are looking for a bride (or worse…) …when you’re a recovering alcoholic. England, Ireland, Russia and Puerto Rico spring to mind. These places have long-held drinking cultures, and if you’re a NON-DRINKER like me, you kind of feel like a social pariah… Ever been to a London […]
I’m not sure I know you well enough yet, to say anything more on the subject… Except that this photo was taken at nine o’clock in the morning. Have a wonderful, safe holiday. And beware of Bahamian men bearing gifts… Today I’m not drinking because, although it’s five o’clock somewhere, and a bunch of people have […]
The definition of coming-of-age is : a young person’s transition from childhood to adulthood. I was thinking about it this morning, because my friend Dee’s son Jake graduated from high school yesterday. On the same day, my buddy LCDR Andy Payne, retired from the Navy. There are certain times when it is OBVIOUS one […]
My friend Dee says, “There’s a big difference between living a DRAMATIC life and courting drama.” She says we fall into the former category. Like the fat guy in the slapstick comedy who has to DEAL WITH the havoc his buddy brings to the table on a regular basis. Courting Drama? As I think […]
I’m walking Fiona yesterday morning and she’s being all choosy about where she poops,* and for some reason that always drives me crazy. Usually, her bathroom bouts are easy – she does try to please me, and I’m sure she fears my unreasonable, scary response when she doesn’t perform to my liking (think about Cruella’s reaction when the […]
Yesterday I went for one of my marathon beach hikes in the world’s best secret place: Guana State Park. I feel I can tell you, because this Blog is new and not many people are reading it yet… I take pepper spray with me, by the way, and I know you’re supposed to spray it down-wind, […]
