I give my husband a lot of flack. He’s not perfect, and I have an uncanny ability to locate every flaw. You would think that it would be hard to write a “love letter” about someone who has: 1 – Coined the term “snart” – farting while you sneeze. 2 – Has no trouble purchasing…

To watch or not to watch? I struggled with this one. When ABC cancelled “my” soap – All My Children – I thought I’d never watch anything they replaced it with.

Remember the good old days? We were all out to save the planet – remember that? We were recycling, conserving energy, having our bills and bank statements sent electronically to save paper, and stopping the junk mail to save trees. Remember back then? I have just printed out nearly 50 sheets of back to school…

In recent years, there has been a lot said about what the scandal involving a handful of Catholic priests has done to congregations everywhere.
