Birthday celebrations with the chicks always have the potential to veer off course. Last night, the celebration is for Sweetest G. Amongst the bangles, jewelry, wine and cocktails, thumbs are the topic of conversation. Before this particular Friday Happy Hour, I'd never considered thumbs, mine or anyone else's. From now on, it'll be in the… Continue reading The Thumbs Have It…

Joy Is The Measure…
I had to write something for someone else's blog. The final question is, "What is your favorite quote?" Easy Peasey--mine has been the same since I was a girl; which was the first time I heard it. "The greatest measure of success is joy." I don't know who said it; just know I love it.… Continue reading Joy Is The Measure…
And So This Week…
Perhaps it was the eclipse. Perhaps it's just me. Thoughts of the weird circled about this week. I've never seen Game of Thrones. Thoughts are stirred when a dear friend returns from Scotland to show pics where they actually film and their historical importance. Over the next couple of days, I suffer FOMO, a rarity,… Continue reading And So This Week…
Total Eclipse of The Street Lights…
Arizona was not expected to put on a big show during yesterday's eclipse. And it didn't. I stood in a parking lot with friends taking turns trading glasses to catch a peek of the moon's pass in front of the sun. Perhaps because we spend the summer months living on the fiery orb's surface, we… Continue reading Total Eclipse of The Street Lights…

Magic Downsize…
Does the thought of downsizing bring you down? Your house is the place the kids grew up. All your stuff is here. You know all the neighbors. It's home.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Roll Tide…
Isn't it the best when you meet someone and love them despite their football team preference? I've "known" Minxy Boy for five years though we've never met in person. So entrenched is he in Middle Chicken's life, he's on the list of non biological chickens. They met the first day of law school. Their adventures… Continue reading Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Roll Tide…
We’ve Heard Everything Now…
From the Now I've Heard Everything File... Friday night a family was peed on at a Metallica concert. Happened right here in Arizona. Not in The Dale, goodness no, but in the state and that is embarrassing enough. Thank Sweet Baby Jesus the guy is from New Mexico and we don't have to claim him… Continue reading We’ve Heard Everything Now…
Put Your Yellow Pants On…
I get an email out of the blue. A friend tells a new friend she has to meet me. It's the new friend who makes the reach out. So and so says we need to meet. She notes what we have in common: nonprofit work, cancer and at the bottom she throws out, "I'm from… Continue reading Put Your Yellow Pants On…
Is Everything Millennials’ Fault?…
The Today Show lines up a bunch of millennials and fires questions at them. They must raise their hands at various offenses. It's trendy to blame a plethora of "kills" on the specific age group. Everything from golf to bar soap to vacations to wine are being declared dead; murdered by those born between the… Continue reading Is Everything Millennials’ Fault?…
