We’re headed for the midst of encroaching holiday madness–though I must say, the vibe is a bit less hectic this year. Maybe lots of people are feeling stressed in the economy or maybe they’re feeling grateful for what they DO have and they’re cutting back quite a bit. Or maybe a bit of all of [...]

I wonder if James Carville realized, when he took on President Clinton’s campaign in 1992, the staying power that phrase would have. Because I’ve been hearing it during this most recent election season, and that’s 16 years after Carville started using it as a slogan.
At any rate, we made it through November 4th here in [...]

With apologies to The Karate Kid for this blog’s title. If you were in high school in 1984, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
ANYWAY! So, no. I’m not referring to what you have done when you’re getting ready for bikini season.
I AM referring to Madame Tussauds, specifically in New York City, since that’s where [...]

Okay, two things about that phrase crack me up. One, that a song lyric/title entered the popular lexicon to the extent that while I was getting my hair cut and highlighted last week the salon owner nudged me in the chair and said: “Girl! You bringin’ sexy back or WHAT?” And two, that any one [...]

Okay, so I went running yesterday at this really awesome park here in Denver, where I’m hangin’ for a few days doing some family stuff. This park is about 165 acres and on a map, it’s long and narrow, kind of like New York City’s Central Park.
Washington Park (”Wash Park”) has two nice little lakes, [...]

Maybe you’ve heard the term already. This whole concept of “staycations,” or “staying home” or “close to home” rather than going anywhere to “get away from it all.” I found “staycation” listed on “Urban Dictionary.” “A vacation that is spent at one’s home enjoying all that home and one’s home environs have to offer.”
Well, gol’ [...]

WOOOOOOO Nelly!
Greetings, mis peeps, from the other side of the mountain. Mountains. Uh…continental divide. Or something.
Suffice it to say that I have finished something and am now embarking on other things, one of which involves a major-ass road trip to LA via the entire state of New Mexico on the way out and the entire [...]

All right, so I’ve been working on this goofy-ass project for about a month and it requires that I get some action figures (as opposed to get some “action,” which is a whole ‘nother kind of thing). That is, the 12-inch articulated kind of action figure. You know. Like GI Joe only not.
So I’m thinking [...]

MIS PEEPS! How are you? Here’s hoping you have a fabulous week.
Some of you may have to do some traveling. Business, pleasure…for the hell of it. Well, it has come to my attention that I am currently living in a part of the country that offers an alternative to those annoying travel websites. No longer [...]
