Cannabis is quite possibly the ONLY “weed” that does not grow in my garden. Weeds are, truly, the bane of my existence.

Empty Head and Tapping Toes
Look! Shoes! Let me get this out of the way right at the top: I got nothin’. You fine people, still reading this blog, deserve better, but alas I’m stumped. I sit here staring at a blank page not because my Monday post was forgotten, either due to my continued shock at the…

The zoodle surely comes close as a vehicle to deliver sauces and fork twirling satisfaction without carb or gluten overload. And then, one night…
You Know What We Need After The Last Several Days? Puppies
And I’ve got ‘em. After all the sadness, tragedy and horror of the past week or so, these puppies are my therapy dogs. Regulars around here know Fergus, my darling, wee mannie. Some may have even seen pics or videos including Fergus’ little sister, Sophie. Sophie is visiting this week while her mom travels, so…
Fill the World with Music, Love & Pride
I I love a Parade. I went to one on Saturday and I really wanted to tell you about it. I’m not really in the mood anymore. I wanted to share with you the delight I always find in the joyful exuberance with which the LGBT community of Boston displays their pride and celebrates…
