Yes, Q, I feel the same way.I'm not gifted when it comes to mathematics, (unless you need to know what 20% of a check is), but, for what I believe to be the only time ever, all three Lilly boys celebrated commencement milestones this month.

I’m all over the internets!
Did I mention that I'm contributing to one of the Times Union's blogs? You know, I had an extra waking moment or two and I needed something to do with my time.

Sunday dinner
Seems like a long time since I've done a Sunday dinner post. Last week's dilemma was my indecision about whether I should run or eat. Because I sometimes have an issue with making choices, I went with all three. "Three?" you say, "Weren't there only 2 options?" Perhaps to those who think in a much … Continue reading Sunday dinner

In the last week, a minimum of 8 people made comments to me about my weight. No one was overly critical, but there was a note of concern in more than one voice. I can only imagine that if 8 people said something to my face, another 5 or 10 had said something behind my … Continue reading a weighty subject
