It's Saturday morning and I woke up with a smile and a warm feeling. No I was not in the shower, nor was it from the sun streaming in the windows, I was just walking down the stairs to write my blog. I realized that my feeling was a result of having all my children in my house at the same time. It might seem funny to some, but being under one roo …
Here's something new for you to do this weekend. If you have an iPhone, here's a list of questions and statements to ask/say to Siri. She has quite a sense of humor. Maybe Norm can book her for some events :) Or is she the next Friar? Or do I have too much time on my hands ;) What is zero divided by zero? When is the world going to end? (If you'r …
I haven't exercised for almost a year and just started it again last Tuesday with my trainer a 22 year old nice guy. Since I'm not allowed to work as hard as I used to the begining sessions have been using my body weight, which is more than enough. What I used to think was too easy is now hard work. And to boot the gym has lovely large mirrors …

The letter read “Dear Reilly Flaherty, I found your wallet and your driver’s license. Had your add …

Local newspapers have given …
A 40-year-old woman, from Sonnino, Italy is being taken to court by her husband. But that's not the unusual part. What really raised my eyebrows is that her trip to the justice system is a result of her not doing enough housewok. Her husband claims that her management of household chores is of a low standard and it has led to the “mistreatment of …
From the "I can't believe there's a class in that" is the following true story as reported by Munchies. The University of Kentucky is offering an undergraduate class called "Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the US South," and the professor behind it wants to use tacos as an avenue for students to learn more about how people can …
1 inch of snow in D.C. compares with 6 inches here in NY which compare with 3 feet in Buffalo. Having lived in Buffalo for 4 years and experienced a winter storm where 192" fell, the one passing through our area today that they've named Jonas, in my mind, is cute. By my estimation we'll get around 6-10 inches. Not a big deal for me. However, it …
I was so fortunate to experience a beautiful expression of love and commitment last night...Paul and Victoria's wedding. They shared their vows with their children and special friends reading lyrics from Yes, The Cure, Peter Gabriel and Led Zeppelin. Each one of their children spoke eloquently either at the wedding, the cocktail reception and the p …

It's Saturday...and anything goes.
