My dysfunctional relationship…with my violin!
I read a lot about poor self-esteem, lately. Yes! That’s a big one, and accomplishment is usually the key to better self-esteem. I wish I could say that my ‘hobby’, a dysfunctional relationship with my violin for years, would fit the ‘self-esteem’ niche. Fiddling is different than playing classical violin Most fiddlers do not play […]
MOVE YOUR BONES!
No, I am not commanding my dog to remove his possessions from the couch. I am going to discuss YOUR bones, which may be sitting on the couch right now, while you read this blog. Bones are a bit like teeth. No one notices them until they start to make trouble. What kind of trouble? […]
SHOPPING FOR SHORTS
I’m from Wisconsin, and I oughta know! We don’t wear shorts! Come on! Capris are daring enough. We have plenty of mosquitoes in Wisconsin.

The Dating Game at 58!
I never dreamed I’d be dating at the age of 58! Quite a few of us find ourselves out the other end of the marital tunnel after age 55, whether by divorce or widowhood. I found the Suddenly Single Scene pretty intimidating, and the thought of navigating the dating world as well made me want […]
What Do You SAY?
What do you say about yourself? What are the words you use most often when you describe your endeavors, or what you may want to do in the future? Do you say things like: “I’m going to run for a political office next year, and I think I have a good chance of winning!” Or, […]
The Great Outdoors is Good For You!
“Get on outside and play!” How many times did we hear that one as children? I always assumed the command was generated by my skipping wildly in the kitchen, screaming at my brother in the living room, or using a bed for a trampoline. It could even have been for this unthinkable reason: Mom was […]
I WRITE BOOKS!
Just to establish my credentials up front, I come from nowhere, friends.
