Since it’s fall and the weather is turning a little cool I decided it was time to share my knowledge of Texas cuisine with my Vermont friends, bless your hearts, and teach you to make Chili. First I need to break it to you that the stuff you are making and calling chili is actually [...]

There is absolutely no good reason to be telling you this – all it can do is make you think less of me and my housekeeping abilities and lord knows I don’t need any more people thinking my standards aren’t quite up to par with The Beaver’s mama. I do wear heels and a frilly [...]

This isn’t the type of post you have come to expect from me but it’s the only thing I can bring myself to write. My mother, the absolute center of my life, is dying. I am her caregiver. Her congestive heart failure has finally reached the final stage and she is not going to get [...]
Get Back In That Bed!

A couple of days ago I was debating about whether to prepare for an upcoming speaking engagement or to go back to bed when a brilliant idea hit me – I could work in bed! It should be fairly obvious that working in bed is one of the advantages of working from home but I [...]
The Best Kiss of My Life

Maybe it’s because it’s almost Valentine’s Day, or maybe it’s because this is the time of year I start dreaming of moving back home, or maybe it’s Robert Earl Keen on the radio — or it could be because the guy who gave me “the best kiss of my life” just found me on Facebook. [...]

I’ve been thinking about my New Year’s Resolution and I’ve decided, no computer time after 6:00 pm! Now I could tell a big ‘ole fib and say I’m writing this during the day but you and I both know it’s midnight and I’m sitting here with my computer in my lap. I’m not technically breaking [...]

You’ve worked your ass off to get where you are because well, everyone knows women work twice as hard as men and are at least 10 times as smart. As Ann Richards used to say, “The rooster crows but the hens deliver.” So now that you’ve got a title and maybe even a window you [...]
Just The Best

The nurses at Fletcher Allen Hospital are the best. For the last few days they have provided my mom with excellent care, called her honey and dear, and served as the first line of defense; as did the nursing assistants who patiently changed her bedding at least four times today and lifted and held her [...]
Both Sides Now

I’m sitting here with my mom watching a PBS celebration of Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday – you know, one of those shows they only do during pledge drives – and Joan Baez starts singing Jacob’s Ladder a cappella. Now you can’t get much better than Joan but I’m not really listening because I’ve been catapulted [...]
