It’s intermission at Victory Garden Theatre. I’m in the ladies’ room. This sign made my visit moot. If […]

This Monday, I am happier than ever to greet the new week.
- I have everything but the tree and the outside lights put away. By design. I intend to hold on to Christmas one more week.
- The goodies are gone. Today I am back to my fit-me. Exercise and plenty of fresh food. Oh I have some apples and oranges that want me; and I want them. I can’t wait to trade my traditional Polish glomkies and perogies a good spinach salad.
- I have my goals ready for the New Year. Monday is my day to start breaking down my game-plan and putting it all in motion. (I already have a new hat and a scarf knitted from my yarn stash and three books started – one poetry, one fiction, and one non-fiction.)
- I am full to the brim with football.
Not a big football fan, I try, I try, and I try to become one. I stopped hating it when I got my own fantasy football team. Loved-One is a sports fanatic. I engage—come on already, everyone knows you pick the ball up and run until the ref whistles the ball dead.

My mind wanders, distracted by the uniforms and the fans, and the field. Everything about the game makes me think of something else. How can those men have such long hair sticking out from under their helmets? Doesn’t their hair get pulled? That would stop me faster than any illegal hold.
Sunday, I am thinking about the ball.
Ah January… cold and dark and long. The holidays are behind us, the annual, quarterly, and monthly bills […]

As I drove home from Thanksgiving Day shopping, I spied a sign, poked into the almost frozen ground. […]
The greatest gift we have is our time. – Meditation from St. Francis Xavier
It’s cold and winter is here; summer still clings with all her might. Sometimes, that’s the way I feel. I love summer. Still, there’s something invigorating about a brisk walk in crisp air.
My friend Geri gifted me with a day in Chicago with friends. Of course I can go anytime, but I don’t. I wait for a reason. What better reason than time with a friend.
First we visited the French Market. I never knew
“If only people knew about the Malliard Reaction,” I say to anyone who will listen. “They would understand why avoiding diabetes is so important. And if it’s too late, controlling blood sugar is essential.”
What’s the Malliard Reaction?
Oven roasted turkey: Yum, Yum.
Crusty rolls warm from the oven. Mmmm…mmm.
Gravy made from turkey roux… Uhhh, huh.
Melt-in-your-mouth flaky pie crust and caramelized pecan pie. Smack-smack.
What makes these tasty Thanksgiving day dishes taste so good?
My first Fathom Event: Dr. Who Day of the Doctor in 3-D. Was it worth it? Heck Yes!
Loved-One is a fan of Doctor Who. Not a Johnny-come-lately fan, Loved-One can name all the companions since Romana I, Roman II, who came out of nowhere with no explanation, and K-9, Loved-One’s favorite companion. And what about his favorite Doctor? Tom Baker, hands down. Tom Baker and his crazy 10 foot scarf.
I’m a late comer. I started with Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor and Rose (Billie Piper) as his companion. The Empty Child pointed out a big difference between British television and American. British children die. Lots of British children die.
I’m crazy about Doctor Who; my favorite re-generation is David Tennant. I cannot decide which companion I like the most: Is it Rose, or Amy and Rory, or Clara, or maybe Martha. Jack Harkness
I saw this K-mart commercial on TV a couple days ago. The hand bells are a much under-appreciated […]
