So this is my dad. My father was a diabetic – a bad diabetic. He was the kind of diabetic who made root beer floats with real ice cream and diet soda. He was the kind of diabetic that ate butter on sticky buns, then upped his insulin to help his body compensate. At some…

October is breast cancer awareness month. You’ll see commercials, billboards, newspaper ads, and t-shirts encouraging you to feel your boobs; get your mammies slammied; and other clever slogans designed to remind women to get their yearly mammograms, do their breast self exams, and keep themselves cancer free.

My little girl is 17 years old today! I can’t believe it’s here so quickly, and at the same time, I cannot wait for her to no longer be a teenager! I keep hearing it gets better. Now’s good for me. We arrived early this morning in Belfast, and we have a great trip planned. …

We have no excursions planned for the day for the rest of us, but after a leisurely breakfast in…

NOW we’re talking MARTINI!! I know, I’ve badmouthed martinis all week long so far. They were not going to impress me with a martini if Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson carried Brad Pitt into the dining room to serve the martini off of his washboard abs. But this one has Amaretto! And Kahlua! And Brogan’s…
