Like a mother in a Disney movie, my cell phone died inexplicably. Well, not inexplicably. I dropped it in the toilet. I was wearing jeans for the first time in seven months and had the phone in my back pocket when it promptly fell into the commode. My phone, not my back pocket. There’s aContinue reading “A Dropped Call”

Five Things Trump Did Very Goodly
At this very moment, Donald Trump’s attorneys are filing lawsuits and spreading COVID as they ask judges for an election re-do. The entire world is witnessing a meltdown of Pompeii-ish proportions. Trump is parading through the streets, wearing invisible clothes, as his sycophants praise him for his fashion choices. But if the election stands (fingersContinue reading “Five Things Trump Did Very Goodly”
Just Here For The Boos
It’s been a decade since COVID-19 reached our shores, ushering in 45 years of hand sanitizer, remote learning and face mask protesters sporting apostrophe-addled signs like “Your an idiot” and “Parent’s against masks”. But now it’s October. Halloween is at risk. S*** just got real. Nothing could be scarier than 2020, with its earthquakes andContinue reading “Just Here For The Boos”
Social Distancing Activities for Fall
A defining moment for America
Did someone drop America on its head? Instead of celebrating the birth of our country, I feel we should stage an intervention. Leadership has not only gone off the rails, its torn up the rails and melted them down so no one else can travel down the track. Turning to social media each morning isContinue reading “A defining moment for America”
Tomorrow is Another Day in Quarantine
As soon as COVID-19 hovered in the air we breathe, I went into full-on “Gone With the Wind” Scarlett O’Hara mode, ripping up bedsheets to make toilet paper and stockpiling moonshine for antiseptic. Of course, Scarlett was useless in an emergency. For the majority of the Civil War, she whined and married rich men. I’mContinue reading “Tomorrow is Another Day in Quarantine”
A Woman’s Place
As the mother of four daughters, and grandma to several granddaughters, I’m frequently asked (okay, twice) what advice I’d give to young women. Women are stronger than ever before, yet many men try to drag us back to the Victorian Era. Men keep gettin’ up in our bizness, drafting regulations about our bodies, creating rulesContinue reading “A Woman’s Place”
Scent of Mystery
I blame Love’s Baby Soft for destroying my archeological career. Up until I started spritzing the perfume popular with the seventh-grade girls in my class, I’d never given any thought to how I smelled. My mom was lucky to get me to shower, yet, here I was, dousing myself in baby powder-scented toilet water. TheContinue reading “Scent of Mystery”
The Prince’s Pride
Over the last three years, I’ve often felt like Vizzini from “The Princess Bride” where he constantly says things are “Inconceivable!” Trump pays off a porn star with no consequences. “Inconceivable!” Trump ignores requests for stricter gun control laws. “Inconceivable!” Trump is bringing back coal and destroying EPA regulations. “Inconceivable!” Trump asks a foreign governmentContinue reading “The Prince’s Pride”
The REAL Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Unless you’ve been living in the Gobi Desert, hiding from the toxic political atmosphere, you’re well aware that Bravo will air the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” in 2020. As if 2020 wasn’t going to be terrible enough. If you’re not familiar with the intellectual and thought-provoking series, executive producer Andy Cohen flies toContinue reading “The REAL Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”
