Screw Hallmark - as far as I'm concerned, May 5th was my ideal Mother's Day. No matter what happens next Sunday, I will cherish the day I had, from the scandalously late start to the fortified-with-an-afternoon-nap late ending - perfect! Let me be a little more specific... Saturday night, I shot a SEEN gallery down … Continue reading Done with Mother’s Day

Dash is done!
No, not my commitment to an insane schedule - the Delmar Dash 5 miler. This was my first race of the year (!) and the longest run I've had in nearly 3 weeks. And that's longest run out of 2. The weather on the quick drive over, was silly. What was sunny and blue in … Continue reading Dash is done!

Quinn requested a bowling party this year and his … Continue reading Smokey, this is not ‘Nam

I certainly did not expect the place to be so jammed with other wannabee brunch eaters and I most definitely … Continue reading Brunch and a bull ride
