I WANT CANDY…CRUSH! (Photo Friday)

I’m currently on level 65 where I have to clear chocolate squares that keep reproducing with every move I make while simultaneously clearing candy out of jelly squares. The only chocolate I’ve been […]

It’s an early Monday morning and I’m driving my seven-year old son to his first day of Football Camp. I keep stealing glances of him in the rearview mirror, each time catching his sweet smile with the missing front tooth as he stares out his window. His legs are doing the little kick thing they […]

The Final Toast
The first date read Sept 9, 1986 – Carmine’s.

The Snoop Dog Rap: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
This week’s writing challenge: The Best Medicine is an invitation to “Poke fun at yourself, write a limerick, find the absurdity in a real-life situation, come up with some groan-worthy puns, sketch a comic, put some fictional characters in a farcical situation — all’s fair in comedy.” Obviously I don’t have a humor blog, but […]
