A casting call for ideas
Updated: February 14, 2012 - 9:49 am

Monday mornings always present one of my favorite challenges: What to write about?

Behind the times ... and happy about it
Updated: February 07, 2012 - 9:05 am

There was a time in my life when I rode the wave of popular culture. I could tell you who had the current No. 1 single on the radio, what the top 10 TV shows were, and if I drove past a multiplex cinema marquee, I could check off nearly every title as "seen it."

Life with Ziggy
Updated: January 31, 2012 - 10:08 am

I’ve promised readers in the past that I wouldn’t turn this column into a weekly chronicle of the cute and/or funny things my pets do. (If you need that sort of thing, that’s what the Internet is for.) However, the Jan. 5 introduction of our miniature potbellied pig Ziggy generated so much interest, I felt I had to at least check in with an update.

Alive and amplified

Until I took a look back to answer that weekly question, "What should I write about my weekend?" I hadn't realized how much music filled this town over the past few days.

We finally got our winter, no doubt about it.

To each his own playlist

Why do individuals gravitate toward different types of music? It's one of those mysteries of the human psyche.

Happy New Year (oink)
Updated: January 03, 2012 - 11:02 am

New years bring new adventures, and 2012 is looking highly adventurous indeed for our family. We have four major trips on the calendar, lots of personal goals to achieve, some home renovation to finish ...

Spreading the Christmas cheer
Updated: December 20, 2011 - 8:01 am

If there's any holiday that's practically required to be spent with your closest family, it's Christmas. Face it: Thanksgiving is meant to be shared; New Year's Eve is all about being social. Summertime holidays are "come one, come all."

Knit wits
Updated: December 13, 2011 - 10:15 am

My to-do list this past Sunday was full: Clean the house, take care of some business correspondence, work out, tune a piano, get out the Christmas decorations, plan the week's menu and go grocery shopping, go in to work to finish up a project, and knit for an hour.

Never a dull weekend
Updated: December 06, 2011 - 9:27 am

I had been looking forward to the weekend of Dec. 3 for several months. Not because of any big event or occasion – no, last Saturday and Sunday would have been the first weekend since August that our family did not have an obligation taking us out of town.

Feasting, family, football, fur and feathers
Updated: November 30, 2011 - 12:16 pm

I spent about as traditional a Thanksgiving as I've ever had with my family last weekend. And amazingly, we all had a pretty darn good time.

Getting into the jingle bell mood
Updated: November 22, 2011 - 11:54 am

Some holidays are meant for spur-of-the-moment fun. You wake up on the Fourth of July, greet the sunny day and say, "Let's go to the beach!"

Culture shock
Updated: November 15, 2011 - 10:40 am

On the rare occasions when I have an evening to myself, when no one else is home and I don't have any urgent demands on my time, I like to catch up on watching classic movies I've never gotten around to seeing.
