Just for the record, this fat old lady does not love hot weather. I hate it. With cold weather, you can always put something on; however, you can only take so much off. But I find the valves on my French Horn work much better with the hot weather. Go figure. I guess it makes…
Well shit. This is what I get for trying to tough out my knee pain once the cortisone shot started to wear off. As I’ve written before, I have fat old lady knee (actually, knees – but only one really pains me), but back in March I got a cortisone shot in the knee (God…
BLUE DAMMIT! My passport expired. They do that after ten years. So I get the application (available online), fill it out, go to CVS and get my picture took, write the check and send the whole thing (along with my expired passport) off to the State Department. My husband sent his in at the same…
And no it isn’t Disneyland. However, it is Disneyland adjacent. I tagged along with my husband to a conference held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Garden Grove – maybe a half mile down the road from the Land of the Mouse. I am now officially in love with this hotel. We check in…
I have learned that when you drive from San Jose to Los Angeles (and back), you do so one asshole at a time. And as my dear husband points out, there’s always more assholes. Here are the most common assholes you will find on this drive (keeping in mind most of the way is 2…

A number of years ago, a friend was telling us how she fell and couldn’t get up. Yeah – just like the old commercial. Actually, she was able to eventually get to her bed and was able to leverage herself upright, but it was very scary for her. Now I know how she felt –…
I went to Costco yesterday. I love Costco. I love Costco because it is known for treating its employees fairly. That means a lot to me. Of course, the great deals you get there doesn’t hurt either. I won’t shop at Walmart because I have personally known people who work for Walmart and what they…
I sometimes wonder about myself. Here’s something that happened years ago that made me laugh then and makes me laugh now. I’m at the LA zoo. There is a child sitting and swinging back and forth on a heavy chain link fence that is part of the barrier around a cactus garden. There are signs…
Last night, I attended a preview performance of my friend Steve Gray’s show. Mostly a Neil Diamond tribute, but he does other songs too – as I well know because I am on most (if not all) of his backup tracks for the show. Steve can do a wicked Neil Diamond and he has been…
