Create an emergency preparedness plan. Having grown up in Western New York, and then having lived in Minnesota and Colorado…three states where snowy weather is common, we always kept a winter weather kit in our vehicles.  It consisted of a set of jumper cables, a tow rope, battery operated flashlight, orange road cones, a heavyContinue reading “Let it snow, let it snow!”

What is a word you feel that too many people use? This is a free PSA to all sports announcers. Please stop with the word physicality.  Cease and desist.  🤣. It is overused across all sports as a catch all to commentate on size, appearance, weight, skill, etc. Thank you and so concludes my soapboxContinue reading “A PSA to all sports announcers”

My husband won a cruise to the Bahamas.  We had dinner on the balcony at the Hard Rock cafe.  It overlooked downtown.  It was totally worth it watching the street life below and realizing it was an experience we’d probably neverContinue reading “Dinner downtown Bahamas”

I find the public and online tiffs between athletes and celebrities to be incredibly childish and uninteresting. If you have a disagreement, resolve it in private.  I don’t care if so and so is dating your ex,Continue reading “The childish drama of celebrities and athletes”
