As you know, I’ve had a blog for several years now and I’ve updated the look several times before.  What makes this time different?  It’s more than just a fun new layout- changes include: The debut of my snazzy new logo All new categories complete with humorous (to me anyway) descriptions if you hover over them I’m now self hosted… Read more »

What is a feminist?  Seems there are hundreds of definitions for that term.   I’ve never considered myself a feminist, but maybe I don’t know what the word means.   Dictionary.com defines it as “a person who supports feminism” (Gee, that’s helpful!).  The same source actually does define feminism as “the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and… Read more »

There are two mysteries of the universe I’ve been contemplating at length lately to no satisfactory outcome.  I’m hoping if I share them perhaps someone else has the answers I’m seeking.   And no, there is no connection between them except that they both bug me.   #1 Why do most restaurants offer only one diet pop option?   Even… Read more »

“Who are you?”   Seems like an innocent enough question, but it’s actually pretty tough- especially when you have to do it in only a couple words.  I’ve been trying to answer that myself lately and got the answer in the most unexpected place.  But first, a couple recent attempts:   #1 I was challenged at work to describe myself… Read more »

Over the years I’ve started so many exercise regimens that I’ve lost count.  Some lasted weeks, sometimes I would stay with it for a few months, but nothing stuck.  Alas, I am living proof that doing something for 90 days is NOT long enough to make it a permanent change in your life. I’ve joined gyms thinking that if I… Read more »
