Mom, Social Observer, Author. Beans and Awkwardness on Aisle 5. November 17, 2015. Still Weird at the Grocery Store. I haven’t written much lately about my morning trips to the grocery store, but I just want to check in and say that it’s still as weird as ever out there. Today I dropped Josh off at school and popped by my customary grocery store, a quirky place we call Rehab Fred’s* (because of its proximity to Prescott’s many drug and alcohol group homes) to pick up stuff for supper. The cashier kept sc...

Mom, Social Observer, Author. January 5, 2015. If you ever want to strike terror into the heart of your kids, I can recommend two ways: One is to yell, “Where’s the Midol? 8221; and watch them scatter. The other is to sing the opening theme song of the old TV show, “Hee Haw.” The words are simple, but the delivery is everything: “Hee hee, hee haw haw! Hee hee, hee haw haw! Why did you leave me here all alone? When I was at college at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee, there was an extremely local commer...

Mom, Social Observer, Author. September 3, 2015. I vacuum my shower. This may or may not be as gross as you think; one of our dogs likes to walk around in there, and always leaves a hair or two as a calling card. When I was three, I kissed my parents’ little black and white TV screen because I thought Bob Barker was so handsome. This was way before The Price is Right we’re talking Truth or Consequences here. I don’t know why I did this. I don’t know most of the films at the Oscars or on the. What a diffe...

Mom, Social Observer, Author. The Dunking Must End. June 15, 2016. I went to bed happy last night and woke up to more senseless killing. This one was a little different. It was Orlando; I don’t think they’ve had a mass killing there for a while, so that was new. Then, of course, the large scale 50 people dead so far as I write this. And, it was not just a terrorist attack; it was a hate crime. Finally, someone says, The dunking must end. Things had to change. Just get on Facebook. When I was a kid, I rem...

I’m getting 8, maybe 9 miles on this thing. It’s a gas guzzler! One cell at a time. I may not heal any wounds, but by God, I’m not going to open up any new ones, either.

Mom, Social Observer, Author. July 22, 2016. Thank God for funny people. I’m blessed with them:. Friends and family who make me laugh, and whom I love to make laugh. Laughter is what keeps us sane, I think. Furthermore, I think we were made that way:. God has a sense of humor. Just look at the platypus! Humor is the vitamin that gets me through the day. My friend, Karen, posted on Facebook that her son was holding a glass up to the icemaker on the door of the freezer. My younger son, Josh, has an iPad.

Mom, Social Observer, Author. Eat Play. Talk. Eat Play. Talk. July 16, 2015. While we were there, we went out for barbecue (mustard-based sauce! We don’t eat that way much anymore, but those foods, and so many others, are associated with memories. None of my favorite memories have to do with cell phones, or multi-tasking, or trying to do too much, or worrying about stuff like money or thinking about work. Instead, they’re all memories where I just realize for a second, This is it, right here. I just fini...
