The written word. Grammar and usage. Cleverness.

Sports. Specifically Philly sports. #GoBirds #GoPhils

Cooking, baking (pie—I made the ones below—is the superior dessert), wining, cocktailing, eating ALL THE CHEESES.

Hiking, gardening, kayaking.

Politics, family, DOGS.

Apropos of nothing, if you’re near a Wegman’s and they still have them, their house brand candy cane Oreos are CRAZY good.

I got sober. Haven’t had a drink in 252 days.
Every year around this time I do the same thread and it has been a lot of fun.

Tell me something you did in 2025 that you're proud of that you want everyone to know about. Did you write a book? Did you get a promotion? Did you survive the year?

I want to spend the end of the year celebrating you.

Hillary Clinton was the speaker at my graduation from UMD (1996). I was on the aisle and when she passed (surrounded by “honored guests” who I’m sure were secret service people), I gave her an “attaboy” pat on the back. I was, somehow, not tackled by her detail.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

We had Christmas four days in a row (family be like that), so we’re late to the game, but I could not be happier to settle into DEAD WEEK. Four glorious days of nothing. No responsibilities, no cooking, no doing, no nothing. Going straight up feral until Thursday.

Each year at this time, I'm hopeful that I'll look at the college football lineup and see a game called the Hyper Bole. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Okay, Bird Gang, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today. GO BIRDS!!

Dear LORD. *Every* ad during the Lions v. Vikings game is Stranger Things-based. Every single one.

My once-a-year, cream cheese-laminated cinnamon rolls, headed into the oven for our Christmas breakfast. They’re not even baked yet and they smell amazing.
