As far as I know, my sister Linda, only went sleep walking once. As far as I know, I only went sleep walking once in my life. I guess, we were just one and done as far as sleep walking went. I don’t remember how old Linda was when she had her little nocturnal foray…

Sometimes I think the attorneys at my firm just send me stuff to keep me busy. I mean they couldn’t be that stupid. Could they? I had an attorney send me an attachment of discovery requests and saying that another attorney had assigned her the task of responding and she was told that I had…

Boob wrangling is something I have dealt with in many performances. It started in high school – Once Upon a Mattress – I was playing Queen Aggravain.…

One benefit of shelter-in-place, I am now at over 130 consecutive days of doing my Duolingo Spanish lessons. I have been doing this for quite a while, but this is the longest streak I have ever achieved.  I seldom missed more than a day or two – but I also seldom ever made it more…
