A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
1) Max lost his fourth tooth yesterday.
2) I got another ongoing writing assignment I applied for, Phoenix TV Examiner.
3) I finally learned how to make homemade macaroni and cheese that doesn’t suck.
Let’s start with the last one first. I must once again thank Amanda Hesser, for I used her recipe. It’s not that hard. I [...]
Dear Taco Bell,
I’m very annoyed with you right now. I went through your drive-thru and asked for a chicken grilled stuft (that’s how the Bell spells it) burrito, and because I was totally starved, a taco supreme to shove down my gullet right in the car on the way back to work.
You said, “Would you [...]
It was a fantastic weekend over here in my world.
Friday night Conrad went to a football game and I hung out with Max. He was being so sweet, it was unbelievable. We snuggled and watched boxing (I really don’t mind so much watching his stuff over and over if I have gossip magazines to read, [...]
So I just got back from the workout room downstairs. The last time I was in there a girl had “Steel Magnolias” on the TV. I don’t care, I don’t use the TV but I don’t mind listening to whatever someone else has on.
I really hoped I’d be done before the part where Julia Roberts [...]
Tonight I got together with my “yenta friends,” as Conrad calls them. It had been a long time. We went to Switch restaurant and wine bar. Good stuff! I had never gone there before and found it hard to resist the siren call of Durant’s right next door. But it was all that.
My girlfriends make [...]

Well, right now Conrad is ordering from Swaddee Thai delivery as we speak. Why? Because I made dinner and it sucked. Neither he nor I could eat it. How could I mess up chicken and pasta? And we have no other food in the house.
One day, when I can concentrate, I’m going to [...]
It occurs to me that I probably shouldn’t restrict my lunchtime fare at the office to only Lean Cuisines, with the occasional Lean Pocket. I think maybe I should bring slightly heartier meals. I tend to not eat much during the day, but then I’m all unsatisfied and go hog wild at night, which as [...]
I’ve been dragging all week. It’s this insanely hot and humid weather. I just don’t want to do ANYTHING. And I feel so bad because I get home at 6 and Max wants to go out to the park or for a walk and it’s the very LAST thing I want to do. I find [...]
When Max was little (well, littler than he is now) he loved Toaster Strudels. The problem was, he would only eat the icing off them and not the strudels themselves. After a while I stopped buying them because it was a waste.
Well, he’s older now, and I decided on a whim to bring them back [...]
So, I’m a little bit obsessed with our morning radio show here in Arizona, KEZ99.9 with Beth and Bill.
WEELLLLLL….
Today I called in and recommended a restaurant on the air!
It was very cool because they’d been talking about Miley Cyrus, so when I got on Beth asked if I shared her name, and I [...]
