I’ve learned a lot of stuff in my 53 years circling the sun. Some of it really, really helpful. Some of it I immediately filed into the BFI dumpster, yo. But most of it accumulated over the last 26 years, since I married that cute boy with the adorable smile on Sept. 2, 1995. When you ...

You know what’s really cool about finding a mouse in your house? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Niente — that would be Italian for nuttin’. I know, I know. People think mice are cute. You know, because they’re all furry and fuzzy and squeaky. Hmpf. Plus, they’ve got those adorably ...

The thing about sending your kid back to college after spending an extended spring / summer / COVID break with him is... well, I don’t wanna. Loud, exaggerated HMPF. Er, maybe even supersonic SIGH. OK, fine, big old snotty SNIFF. All right, ya got me already — heaving SOBS of sadness, ...
