Tina Fey Wins Mark Twain Award for Humor

I'm a huge fan of Tina Fey - and was even before she became the "Perfect Palin." She was just awarded the Mark Twain Award for Humor and you can watch her acceptance speech here. It is certainly worth the 13 minutes. Get a load of her parent's expressions when she talks about them. It seems that... Sign in to see full entry.

Tis the Season for Grog While Blogging

OK - so maybe I don't drink WHILE writing, but tonight I'll be heading out to a local dive for our local blogger's get together, Blog 'N Grog. This after my "Aquafit" class - water aerobics - when I can perhaps feel OK about scarfing down some pub food and Magic Hat brew (or HeBrew Lager - yes,... Sign in to see full entry.

Girlfriends - Another Emailed Joke

A group of 15 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View restaurant because they only had $6.00 between them and Jimmy Johnson, that cute boy in Social Studies, lives on that street and...

Calm Down, Glen Beck; You'll heal better

I guess I'm of that "certain age" when my spam-box fills with RealAge, AARP and HealthlyLiving tips (as opposed to the best, wildest, out of control party VIP Passes). I quote from one I just received from RealAge.Com: Next time you feel your blood start to boil, chant this mantra: "blue skies."... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogit Blackout

Yes, it's been quite some time - as I live my life, travel and work on assignments while ignoring all of my Blogit friends and great reads here. No, Christine O'Donnell hasn't been casting spells on me; see here for hilarious video - I've been working on magazine stories, going to funerals, visiting... Sign in to see full entry.

A cute joke that was emailed to me

Three women, two younger, and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at her questioningly. 'That was my pager,' she said, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm." A few... Sign in to see full entry.

Kettle Bells and Other Implements of Torture

The news is out and it's blaring; in order to stay healthy, cancer-free, heart-disease-free, and fat-free, you've got to EXERCISE! Now, after raising kids for 20 years, working and tending to the needs of home, family and hearth, I'm BACK to the gym. And it hurts. When I last participated in... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to the US Open and All I Got was this lousy Picture

We are fortunate to live within a 40 minute drive of Flushing Meadows, NY, which, in spite of its unfortunate name, is the location of the US Open Tennis tournament. Jeff and I try to go at least once every year, and this year I enjoyed watching Mardy Fish win last weekend in a late afternoon match.... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodbye Earl

Hmmm - well wonder why THIS GREAT DIXIE CHICKS NUMBER is on my mind. As Hurricane Earl moves out to sea, it's good riddance and don't return! Overcast here - a bit of wind, but otherwise calm on Coastal Connecticut. Sign in to see full entry.

My Objection to Popular Mechanics

At the moment, I'm spending a quiet morning in bed - highlighter and pen in hand - combing through the newest "Writer's Market." Twelve years ago, when turning from a career in financial sales to freelance writing, I did the same. It has brought me a long way, but with the demise of print media... Sign in to see full entry.
