The rod, the reel, or the ready-made meal
There are times you’re too rushed to get to everything scribbled on the daily checklist. Not even close. So you ask for help, and it arrives. You breathe a sigh of relief.

Break open the champagne!
Woo Hoo! I’m in a safe territory- far far away from the land of hidden viral nasties – and therefore, so are you. Time to crack open some good champagne. (It’s morning somewhere in the world. A nice mimosa? It’s an easy recipe.) And it’s the weekend. Let’s party!!

Need a Trojan to Beat a Trojan?

No condom? Don’t read me.

Rough week. Of course, you know that, and I managed to get by with a little help from my friends.
But it’s enough already! Okay. Apparently not. I was down. I was up! And then I was down again. Sucker punch.

Keep it Simple

We all know the expression and its acronym: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Kids use it. We’ve used it when admonishing ourselves (and others). Many of us dream of “a simple life” or at the very least, simpler.
