Fall-ing back an hour is always an adjustment, not just for us parronts, but our feathered friends, too. Piper gets a snack every day at 6 p.m. The time can vary a bit depending on what’s going on, but believe me, he knows when it’s snack time and has no…
Book ‘Em, Danno
I always feel like I’m getting away with something when I renew a library book. Where else in life can you extend a deadline with no repercussions or buy yourself some time at no cost to you? That’s right, no unmarked bills in a paper bag exchanged hands, there was…
My Vote For His Stripper Name: Bambi
While out running errands yesterday with a friend, I heard myself saying about my husband: “He isn’t going to rehab tonight because he’s working the polls.” My straight-laced, teetotalling husband is not working a 12-step program nor is he collecting dollar bills while wearing 7-inch stilettos.

Your Nearest Emergency Exit May Be The Moonroof
My husband and I got into our car after having breakfast out, and I handed him the ever-present anti-bacterial hand sanitizer. He used it and passed it to me. As I rubbed my hands together, I enjoyed the smell of apples in the car, a perfect compliment to the blue…
