Went shopping this week and bought some new sneakers with little balance pods on the soles. Kind of weird looking, little spongy pads guaranteed to improve your balance and posture “while you walk!” Who could resist? One might think that after three decades of working in sales, I would at least be a tad skeptical, […]
But Experts Recommend a Workout Buddy…
Up early this morning, working out in my office, to a newer, kinder DVD series (think Richard Simmons meets Jane Fonda: The Later Years”) that alternates recalcitrant upper and lower body parts each day with a series of floor exercises and cardio. Somehow, I find lifting that barge & totin’ that bale, shimmying & shaking […]
A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ‘n Roll
Just took the “What 2012 Song Are You?” online quiz, and I’m not publishing the results because a.) I’ve never heard of the song, b.) I’ve never heard of the artist, and c.) the lyrics are stupid.

Who Needs Marshmallows When You Can Buy a Kirby?
So Kenny and I are sitting outside last evening, enjoying salty margaritas and how-was-your-day stories, when a rather delightful, uber-enthusiastic, door-to-door Kirby salesman (tell your mother they DO still exist!) pulls into the driveway and offers an in-home demonstration guaranteed to “knock my socks off!” Who could resist? We invited him in and fired up […]
If I Leave Now, She Won’t Know
I probably should have clued in this morning when I saw Kenny wearing his favorite, lucky fishing t-shirt with “Heeeere, fishy, fishy, fishy” emblazoned across the chest (20 years old, tattered to within an inch of its life, but the one time I tried to throw it out, he screamed like a girl and frantically […]
Nature Road Trip? Yeah, No.
To celebrate these last few glorious, warm dog days of summer, Kenny presents me with his Big Idea for the weekend: We hop on his motorcycle (me on the back, completely obscuring my ability to see anything except the back of his helmet or my life flashing before my eyes every time an 18-wheeler roars […]
