Paul with Robert Englund aka Freddie Kruegar. A few days ago, I starting crafting a post related to San Diego's annual event, San Diego Comic-Con International. But I ran out of time helping Paul prepare for the show, set up his table and other obligations suited to the wife of a comic creator. And now that... Continue Reading →
Friday’s Fast-Food Fishtacular! – SONIC Fish Sandwich
I don't know what it is about SONIC. It's not their prices (not bad, by the way). It's not their amusing commercials. It's certainly not their food. Perhaps it's that SONIC fills the void left by A&W, an American institution that -- like the drive-in theater -- has largely become a dwindling relic of two... Continue Reading →
I like my new telephone, my computer works just fine, my calculator is perfect, but Lord, I miss my mind!
When the iPad was first released, I was admitted one of those people that pshawed at the idea. What were those idiots doing, waiting in line to pay a high price for a piece of technology? Surely they were only paying to be beta testers. But I went to the Apple store a few times... Continue Reading →
It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago…

I've experienced the snow storms, summer humidity and tornado warnings, learned about wind chill factor and went... Continue Reading →
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age
Lately the months of June and July have been a whirlwind. Between celebrating our anniversary and helping Paul prep for the San Diego Comic-Con near the end of July, my birthday falls in between. As my age ticks upward, the birthdays are less and less important to me unless it's the "big one." Since that... Continue Reading →
Who put the “pop” in the “soda pop?”
Our refrigerator is a collection of things eaten throughout the week and condiments we can't live without. Upon a deep cleaning of it one day, I noticed the collection of sodas/energy drinks we have gathered throughout the years. Stuff we never had any intention of drinking but sit there on display in the refrigerator. It's... Continue Reading →
Foodbuzz 24×24: Sampling the 33rd Parallel
Due to limited vacation time and funds, my travels to exotic locations have been limited to jaunts around the United States which have included Portland, Seattle and Phoenix earlier this year. Plans later this year include New York City and San Francisco but I can't help but to long for far-off places like my previous... Continue Reading →
Orange shrimp and Planet of the Apes — It’s a madhouse!
Have you ever done something to impress someone you wanted to like you? Or just to make them aware that you existed? But in the doing that you discovered a bit about them and sometimes a bit about yourself? There was a time when I was "just friends" with Paul. I recall trying to impress... Continue Reading →
I won the lottery. I don’t care what it costs.
Congratulations to Vivian Louise ! She was randomly picked from Random.org and will receive a package filled with goodies from me. Please email me your address and I'll send them out in a jiffy!
Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity.
A year ago today we had tacos and cupcakes and Faygo... Present day: vintage cupcakes for breakfast!
