I’ve had this song in my head all day, so I thought I’d share. And since last year at Easter I told you about the infamous “Creamed Eggs on Toast” incident I thought I’d counter that trauma with something a little more upbeat. The version of the song above is Gene Autry’s original, although the…

One of three writers who are currently collaborating on a series of romantic suspense novels, I'm a cinemaniac, head-full-of-useless-information trivia maven, waiting for Alex Trebek to retire so that I can appear on Jeopardy again. Oh...and Go Red Sox!
Game Of Shoes: Kit Harington is the Face of Jimmy Choo’s New Men’s Collection
I’m thinking that I really don’t have to explain why I felt compelled to reblog this one, but just in case, here is a list of reasons: 1. Shoes i. Jimmy Choo 2. Kit Harington i. Kit Harington in a kilt ii. Game of Thrones reference Nuff said? Thought so. Happy Saturday
Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit…
Hot, hearty and oh-so-yummy It figures that I would finally get around to making bean soup on the first day the temperature has cracked 50 in more than three months. Since Christmas, because I had a few pounds of leftover ham in my freezer, I’ve been meaning to throw together a pot of my version…
For the Vampire Hunter in All of Us
-Die Vampire, Die! from the cast recording of [title of show] featuring Susan Blackwell, Hunter Bell, Heidi Blickenstaff, and Jeff Bowen As the song says, there are all sorts of vampires, all of varying degrees of insidiousness, in each of our lives. (Arguably, the most common of these suckers are the “happiness vampires”, those poor…
Travels with George
(with apologies to John Steinbeck) It’s hard to believe that Christmas was just over a month ago. It certainly feels like longer. Perhaps it’s because this January has been a month only a Bumble could love. Speaking of Bumble, George finally got his holiday snaps back from the drugstore (he’s old-school) and wants to share…

Festivo Skippito Friskito
Ay caramba! As it turned out, the case of pre-holiday glums was too big a job for little Georgito. He called for reinforcements. Georgito’s “cousin” Skippy Jon Jones, who lately has refused to appear as anything other than his alter-ego, Skippito Friskito, arrived in his festive red Christmas bow (which just happened to match Georgito’s…
Linus Would Be So Proud
Since you got to see the “before“, I thought I’d show you the “after” version of my ugly, skinny Christmas tree. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Remember those containers I told you about? The above represents a mere fraction of their contents. The tree wasn’t big enough for, nor could I…
With Thanks for the Usual and the Extraordinary
Today is the one day of the year that we celebrate the coming together of the Pilgrims (the earliest settlers of these United States) and their new friends, the Indians (Native Americans) to feast on the fruits of their labors. They were thankful that they’d survived another horrible New England winter, which in turn had…
Of Clutter and Christmas…
…or the Great Pre-Holiday Clear-out of 2013 So, have you started your holiday preparations yet? There’s a fine line between having too much time and not enough, when it comes to getting ready for company, especially when it involves an obsessive like myself. Throw in a holiday and the stress-o-meter starts at def con three….
