After 92 episodes, Mad Men is finished. My weekly date with Don Draper is no longer on my calendar and I'm already feeling the void. *Sigh*. It was a good run. I can't recall who originally convinced me to start watching the series, which is a shame. I owe them a sincere thank you for … Continue reading It’s over – and I’m sad

Sometimes Mother’s Day stinks
...and I'm not talking about like a bouquet of flowers, either. No, I'm talking about good old-fashioned perspiration. You see, I began my Mother's Day by participating in Fleet Feet's 10K Classic. The race began (and ended) at Bethlehem Central HS* and the route was fairly rural and mostly flat. It was a small field … Continue reading Sometimes Mother’s Day stinks
The Golden Globes in 3 Takes

World Cup mayhem!
How was your Sunday? Mine was wonderfully insane, thank you very much. Why, you ask? Well, I spent my day selling mugs and beer tokens down at Wolff's Biergarten, which may not sound very fun to those of you who aren't into crowds or soccer, but it was right up my alley. There were hundreds … Continue reading World Cup mayhem!
Expectations
What are "reasonable" expectations? Are you comfortable with those you have and, presumably, honor? I was thinking about some of the expectations I have and considering their degree of realism. I think I do ok with most of them. My problem comes when I allow something external to start putting the squeeze on me - … Continue reading Expectations
