It’s been raining. And I’m pouring tea. I’m a coffee drinker. But I drink tea when I write. Mostly I’m writing emails for Mending Kids. We have a fundraiser coming up. I’ll bug you to buy tickets in a bit. But I’m thinking about… Mending me. Probably because of an email from a friend. We’re [...]

Don’t speak with almonds in your teeth. Something I should know after 30 years on TV. Apparently I didn’t eat healthy then. With almond bits in my teeth… I was about to speak at the ACP Journalism Convention. I was about to impart all my wisdom. Then what to do for the rest of the [...]

Are vitamins better with red or white? Took my fish oil with a nice pinot grigio. When you wash down your vitamins with wine you know you’re in Vegas. But it was almost 5 o’clock…and way past Dry January. I like to gamble for 5 minutes and then take my chances at the shops. One [...]

I had that donut neck thing. I had some red wine. A nice flight attendant snuck me a cheese plate from business class. So I almost enjoyed the 10 hour flight. When we got to London we immediately went to a Cathedral. I like to drag my husband to churches. It’s one of the ways [...]

I had braces. I thought that might keep Neil Diamond from loving me. I was 13. But thought braces were the bigger barrier. He was my first crush. My friend and I spent days drawing pictures of him. I traced mine because I suck at art. We copied the lyrics of his songs and sent [...]
