They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and if that’s the case I hope you’ve missed me enough to be happy that I’m back to blogging again. It’s been several weeks since we last chatted, and lots has happened since then: My son went back to the University of Miami after going to Cuba […]

Carpool Number 32 on Driveway 6, You’re Cleared for Takeoff
In honor of my youngest turning 16 in one week, I give you this funny carpool excerpt from my book, Confessions of a Band Geek Mom. Fare-thee-well, carpool. I will miss you like I miss a toothache. I’m a little worried about my family’s carbon footprint. I think it’s a men’s size 14 and growing. […]
Cynical is the New Optimistic
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason, And your own common sense. –Buddha Creativity. If you’re cursed with it it’s the thing that motivates you to get up in the morning, but then bitch-slaps you […]
Happy Life-Coming-at-Ya Day
Originally published on August 8, 2014, under the title “Koozie Worthy LIfe Events,” I’m reposting this because for some reason it wasn’t sent to all my followers. And of course, my followers follow because they don’t want to miss a single post! I apologize if you received this twice. (Please let me know if that […]
Koozie Worthy Life Events
I have reason to celebrate today. I just got the report that my mammogram came back normal. That might not be a big deal to you (especially if you’re a guy), but I’ve had some related health scares in the past, so it’s always a bit of a nail-biter when my annual “boob bash” rolls […]
Podcast Episode 1: Making Change
Well, I’ve threatened to do this for quite some time, and now it’s finally happened. As of today I’m starting a podcast on my blog. So for those of you who are too busy to read my blog (which I totally understand, by the way, since I’m too busy to read half the blogs to […]
Trophy Wife Wisdom
The other night I went to a summer soiree in Deer Valley with a friend. It was the kind of eclectic socio-economic shindig at which couples (ranging from ski bums to high tech CEO’s) get together and drink expensive wine that the hosts picked up while passing through the Rhone Valley on their way to […]
Recording History in a Garage Sale
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog and I have a very good reason for that. Actually I have several reasons, the biggest being that I can’t clone myself. Between doing all my self-publishing workshops (which have become so popular I’ve now expanded them into Southern California), and working at the Park […]
Making Change
For someone who doesn’t make a living going on the road anymore, I sure have traveled a lot in the last 18 months. And with airlines cutting back, plane changes have become as common as bus stops. I’ve spent more time in airports lately waiting for connecting flights than I have at the gym. A […]
Unreal Real Estate Stories
I’ve lived in the same house for the last 19 years, which is longer than I’ve ever lived anywhere else in my entire life. When I was a kid we moved around a lot until I was 11. Between the first and fifth grades I went to four different elementary schools, which ignited my comedy […]
