Finding Men – Oprah Style

  Okay, so it is 6:35 in the morning on a Saturday and I just finished watching yesterday’s Oprah show about finding men over 35. I really don’t know that there was any ground breaking news on this show but a lot of confirmation of things women probably already know. You need to project an… Continue reading Finding Men – Oprah Style

Political Junkie – or MY Take on Last Night’s Debate

  Debate, you say? What debate? Earlier I did a blog entry on the early political season. I admitted then, or think I did, and admit now that I am a political junkie.

First, at the previous meeting, the superintendent had asked… Continue reading Let’s All Act Like Adults

I can remember ….

In my innocence, I can remember when the only things we discussed in April were shower, May flowers and Earth Day. I know that this dates me. April has always been a month of new awakenings. Spring comes to its fullest as the snow finally disappears and the robins can be spotted in Upstate NY.… Continue reading I can remember ….

Commentary on College Life

I was watching The Early Show this morning on CBS. It tends to normally be more fluff than news so I don’t feel that it is a bad way to start the morning as my 12 year old is getting ready for school. Recently, Lou Dobbs – who has a show on CNN – has… Continue reading Commentary on College Life

Tragedy in Blacksburg

Going to Virginia Tech for football is one of the great memories of my college days. Today, I am thinking of Virginia Tech in a different way. I am sitting here trying to figure out a good way to get a hold of a friend from church to see if her daughter is okay. I… Continue reading Tragedy in Blacksburg
