 If I ever win a Tony, I sure do hope it’s a year when NPH is hosting. I’ve already planned my acceptance. First, I’ll lick my award – Paula Deen style, y’all. Then, I’ll forgo a formal acceptance speech and dedicate my window of time to presenting a clear, concise (possibly bulleted and with full illustrations) [...]

The trees look like Muppets this morning – their leaves bouncing in disjointed, hyper-animated movements, beckoning and warning me simultaneously. There I see an alligator. Over there, just above the doorway, I see a small crab. Then suddenly the wind ceases and so do they.
I love the rain. Not just because it knocks down all the [...]

I know, I know. Spring has allegedly been here for weeks. But it didn’t FEEL like true Spring until yesterday.

Election time in Hoboken always makes me giggle. Our last mayor held office a whopping twenty-three days before he was arrested by the feds for embezzling. In fact, most of our former mayors are currently serving time in a penitentiary situation. Corruption is kinda our thing.
I know, you’re thinking, “Of course it’s corrupt, it’s JERSEY.” And [...]

I’m always late. Always. Maybe just sometimes. Ok fine, almost always. I know you’re never going to believe this, but sometimes I get distracted.
For example, I just lost thirty-five minutes watching that new Kanye West video. I don’t even like Kanye. Unless you count that first record. That shit was brilliant. But still, I’m not sure [...]

I didn’t sleep much last night. I’d love to have you all think that’s solely because I stayed up far too late watching those Chilean miners being rescued. (Which I did and OH MY GOD THE SON of that first miner had me bawling so hard I started coughing and dripping snot into poor Mildred’s cone [...]

Before I regale you with tales of my poor cone-headed Mildred, swing on over to check out today’s Craftastrophe. I’m going to learn how to crochet and make one of these for everyone on my Christmas list.
You’re right, my lazy ass will probably end up sticking red and green bows on cans of Coors Light and [...]
