That is until Matt Lauer dropped his pants and then, really, all hell broke lose and my brain exploded. Right here, on these pages, how many times have we advised the… Continue reading Again Boys?…

Have We Recovered Yet?…
Our beloved Dale took a massive housing market hit with the recession. There are those who say it will never recover to its heyday, pre-meltdown. Others note some solid gains.

Laughter comes from the fact that he is only few years younger than me and the knowledge that not all my… Continue reading Beauty In Her Day…Pfft
The Labyrinth of Love…
When you have a client experienced in all things mind, body, spirit, you listen when she makes suggestions based on acupuncture needles in your feet and pulse examination.

Horses and Boys In Bands…
So last night, the horsey people came out to play. You know, the badass group that saved the Salt River Wild Horses in 2015? Yeah, those guys. When the Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 was passed, Arizona horses were not assigned a protected territory.
