I was considering taking a day off. (Hello, Crazy? You there? Think you could manage a little down time?) Then I was thinking maybe I was just having an off day. Another matter entirely. Perhaps if I took the occasional day off, I might have fewer off days. Then again, in reality, I don’t have […]
Sitting, Gritting, and Admitting
Apparently, we’re doing more to harm our heart health than we realize. At least, so says – or implies – an article on Yahoo Health this morning. Remember the reports that watching television could shorten your life? Yep. That bad Glued-to-the-Tube habit is at the top of the list for harming heart health, along with […]

When it comes to men, endearingly quirky characters are tolerated and […]
Lucky Charms, Black Cats, Magical Thinking
It’s Friday the 13th, but you knew that, right? Are you avoiding ladders, knocking on wood more often than usual, or purposely not deviating from any activity out of the ordinary?
