Thanks to technology, the only clocks we wind up needing to reset are usually the ones on the stove and microwave. I have an old clock/radio in my bedroom - a relic from the past - mostly because I

Sorry, I know it's been awhile since I've written. To be honest, I think I'm starting to realize "seasonal affective disorder" is real, and I may be a sufferer. This winter's been so grey, drizzly,

If you're like me, these chilly, grey and rainy days (we've had plenty of late) make it hard to have a "happy ___day." Heck, I went to Las Vegas the end of last week, wanting to see nearby

 Merry Christmas! Happy holidays! The more Christmases I experience, the more I realize each is unique - which is wild because we cherish holiday "traditions," right?  Friday, I

And just like that - it's December! Happy Sunday. Have you started working on saying "it's December?" Are you starting to write "2023" so it doesn't feel foreign in a mere four weeks? Also -

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I hope you're enjoying the long weekend doing whatever brings you joy. Goodness knows there are abundant options for us - between the Braves' being home for the,
