Bitter Blather

I would define a "Doris Day" as one of those precious, but easily forgotten days where all the scales tip in your favor. A great hair day where you chose the most flattering thing in your closet & every note you sing is on pitch. You can jump the highest. You can run t...

Read no further if you are quick to judge, criticize or dismiss. This was not written for you. 

You know that person in your life that just can’t seem to get their s*** together? That person who has so many financial problems, relationship problems, employment prob...

I have been feeling pretty positive lately. And by lately I mean for more than an hour or two every once and a while, for longer than a day here and there, for nearly a week at a time sometimes, and for more than once a month or every other month and for several months...

I knew virtually nothing about Anthony Bourdain until 2 days ago. I didn’t have the slightest clue what he was really about. I knew that he was a foodie and he had a reputation for eating literally anything and that he sort of looked or sounded like Elliott Gould or Le...
