This is just one of those days when I got nothing. Every once in awhile there isn't anything I can think to write about so I just tell it like it is, without apology, and while it isn't pretty, it is life. There are days when writing is just not in my wheelhouse and today is one of those days.

Some things strike me funny and others are just odd. I have wondered lately why so many women on television and film wear sleeveless dresses in the winter? It's not like white after summer, it is just plain odd to me. It is so cold outside, I can't imagine getting up in this weather and deciding

Simple things matter and often make a difference. With the sub frigid temperatures and the realization that cold comes in from the head I have been playing the hat game. What is the hat game...: you know it is when you try and find the one that least makes you look like a disaster and still keeps

You know what this is, you have no doubt done it at one point or another. Running in place is also known as being unable to get out of your own way. Why does this happen? When the motion in your life has stopped, it is never just one thing but a combination of many. Perhaps a loss, maybe a disapp

The neighbor who owns the house next door is 92 and lives in Florida now. Her son listed the property on her behalf, and it had a good deal of showings. The street is beautiful and it is private yet less than a half a mile from town. I thought the house was overpriced but apparently there was suf

Yesterday for no particular reason, a linen closet closure stopped working. I looked at it and it still lined up, the closet wasn't stuffed ant more than usual to preclude it closing and looking at another it seemed to be in good shape. I played with it and walked away. I did this numerous times

It wasn't expected and it hadn't been forecast but the snow is here and the birds are going crazy. Who would have thought that the weathered ones watch or listen to the weather reports? In any event, quickly and steadily the snow has come and the birds are going nuts: flying around, stopping to p
