NaBloPoMo? You do and you’ll clean it up!
Oh, it’s that time of year again. When I go off the deep end just one more time and commit to writing a blog post every day in November. I’ve done it for a few years now and love it. …
The 411 on the 504
Though you’d never know it, I have a hard-earned flute performance degree. Two, actually. I’ve taken my share of auditions, played in front of many other musicians, had to jump through the hoops of juries. I know the strain of …
Chaos is a friend of mine
Thanks Bob Dylan, for that awesome quote, but chaos and I are not friends. At best we’re frenemies. We’re sure as hell not friends with benefits. And I’m convinced it stalks me like a character in some cheap slasher flick. …

This isn’t the size you’re looking for…
And…after that blatant nod to Star Wars, this is probably where my male guests should check their fantasy football stats or something. I am not a shopper. I procure groceries and other household items, but retail therapy? Eh, unless it’s …
Jinx! Double jinx! Quadruple jinx! Infinity jinx!
(For the record, I misspelled jinx with a “k” every single time up there, even as I ordered myself not to. This indicates absolutely nothing about my Words with Friends prowess). I’m going crazy. Yes, short trip, I know. But …
And like that, gone.
We’re a pretty sad family around here right now. The passing of Steve Jobs last night…well, let’s just say it hit A hard. Very hard. I’m worried what kind of kid I’m going to pick up from after school care …
