Very Sneaky Starbucks
I have made the trip to Starbucks a couple of times recently to do some writing. Last week, after I had ordered my caramel latte, I noticed something called the gingersnap latte on the menu. That can’t be gingercrack, I […]
Hard to Keep Quiet
I didn’t realize until we got in the car to go to the theater last weekend that Maria, Bridget and I had never attended a movie together. Every other time Bridget wanted to see a flick, I would take her […]
Book Review: The Book of Joe
I wanted to love “The Book of Joe.” The story sounded perfect for me – immature guy faces a situation where he desperately needs to grow up. Unfortunately, I couldn’t muster up love for Jonathan Tropper‘s 2004 novel. I did […]

Food Shouldn’t Cause Problems
I don’t like to have problems with my meals. I try really hard to avoid confrontation with food, but sometimes things spin out of control. We faced two such instances this week. One of them might force me to write […]
‘Grease’ Is The Word
Last night, Maria and I went to see the story of plucky teens who have their futures ahead of them and tell their story through song and dance. No, not “High School Musical 3,” although we will go see that […]
