My phone rang just before 4 AM on Monday. As I stumbled to get to it, I knew the news couldn’t be good. As it turned out, my brother Jake’s house was on fire. I rushed over, expecting to find a small fire that had been extinguished, with little damage to the [...]
Barry’s Halloween Costume
A while back, my friend Barry commented that he hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since he was in college. I promised to compose a list of the top 10 costumes he should consider this year. But as I sat down to work on the list, I came to a startling conclusion. I’ve known Barry for [...]
A Memorable Halloween
As my favorite holiday quickly approaches, I can’t help but reminisce of Halloweens gone by. One particular Halloween stands out among all the others. It was 2001, and I had been invited to a coworker’s party. She had a huge spread of land in the country, and the decorations were amazing. [...]
Molly and Cruella Will Love These Costumes!
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I have such a blast putting out the decorations – tablecloths, candles, bowls of candy, and even a spooky door wreath! I never have any trick-or-treaters, but the night is still a great one. I make chili dogs, watch scary movies, relax on the couch, [...]
Liza’s My Valentine!
I thought I’d be without a Valentine this year, but Liza of Vanilla Soup made sure that didn’t happen. A few weeks ago, she asked if I’d be her Valentine. Just how could I say no to such a gorgeous and charming woman? Anyway, my morning got off to a great start when I found a [...]
Be My Valentine!
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I’ve been reminiscing about Valentine’s Days gone by – particularly as a child in the 70s. Valentine’s Day was a big event back then. We picked out those really cool little cards and spent an entire evening addressing them to our classmates. And though there were some [...]

Thanksgiving with the Rejects
About six months ago, my parents announced that they no longer wanted to celebrate the holidays with family. They told us to make other plans, as they would be doing their own thing for future holidays. Don’t worry; it’s fine with me. My parents live 10 minutes away, and I see them [...]
