literally: can’t even
Is it possible to have a Case of the Mondays on a Tuesday? My mini-vacation making a long weekend out of the July 4 holiday is done and I’m back at the office. It was a hot, humid, and rainy...

day off: ain’t doin’ nuthin
Just three days after the 30th anniversary of Ferris Bueller’s actual day off, I had my own day off from work. I may have tied it to National Cancer Survivors Day, but it was really just a matter of having...
video: Address Is Approximate
My Friday morning started out with paying medical bills, so even after a nearly two week vacation… I kinda needed this. I don’t have travel-fu. I’m totally unable to research and plan a getaway nor am I able to roll...

the most wonderful time of the year
Forget the holiday song, it’s right now, as August makes its slow slide into the cool, crisp and brisk days of Autumn/Fall. I love finally being able to shut off the air conditioner, and actually wanting to leave the house...
