… and if we want to have all 12 positions (or 10 or 3 or however many there are) played by just one fantasy player, that’s our business. Because we, my friend, have found the man who can do it all – pitch, run bases, bat, catch, and stand out in the field and look [...]
That’s Chicago for those of you who aren’t familiar with the nicknames of some U. S. cities. I just spent four days in Chicago and various towns on the North Shore–that stretch of land north of Chicago on Lake Michigan, lovely spots all. I had a fabulous time even if it was cold, rainy, and [...]
So a couple of years ago I was packing to go somewhere, and I realized that most of my “good” clothes were yoga clothes (“good” clothes being defined as something I can wear in public).

There are some that I comb [...]
I was thinking about my family the other day and the fact that we aren’t terribly athletic. As children, we were big on riding bikes (I even rode a bike to grad school and work in my young adult days), and we all swam a lot for fun, but because of being overseas, we didn’t [...]
The other day I was in the Mall with Mr. G and he was buying shoes. Mr. G is a very frugal man. Which comes in handy because I’m not known for restraint, and I don’t really know what buyers remorse feels like. So we were looking at men’s shoes, and he decided not to [...]
The recent passing of Steve Jobs has resulted in articles and news stories that are reviving a lot of memories for me. For example, I saw a reference to the Apple t.v. ad that introduced the Macintosh, and immediately that ad ran in my head like a video. It debuted at the Super Bowl in 1984, [...]
