If the first day is a good barometer for how the year is going to shape up, then 2010 is going to be a good one. January one, I woke up beside someone who loves me and feeds me coffee. He gave me the keys to the car, kissed me and said have a nice [...]

weekends, aka catching up
My last post was 3 weeks ago you say? Good grief, where does the time go? Sometimes I have to go backward before I can go forward. Of course, it’s not like I have to pull an OhCaptain and go three months back *grin. ********** Three weekends past. Three weekends ago was the all-girl cottage [...]
three hours
In about three hours I will be on my way to the Pine Vista Resort in the Kawarthas for a weekend of martinis and girl talk. If there’s cell service, there will be Dial A Shots. And that will be the extent of technology use for the weekend.
