I’m having a bit of an identity crisis these days so that’s one way I know we are knee deep into March. This is the month we embrace all things green. These days, it is easy to find a parade, a pub party, bagpipers and, of course, corned beef and cabbage suppers. I don’t...
Back in the 1940s, entertainer Gene Kelly introduced a song, “I Could Write a Book”, from the musical “Pal Joey”, and professed all the wonderful qualities that his new love interest had. Well, I could write a book, too. Only mine would have nothing to do with a new love interest. It would have...
Back in 1984, Wendy’s made a commercial depicting how a competitor’s hamburger buns were getting bigger while the actual hamburger inside was shrinking. A feisty old lady looked straight into the camera and with a confrontational tone, bellowed, “Where’s the beef?”

One of the best things about my job as a high school counselor is that I get to stay young for as long as I continue to work in this position. This is because in working with students, you have to stay on top of all the hottest fashions, music, technology and social networks....
It’s amazing the things I learn reading magazines in the salon as I wait to get my highlights redone. It made my day to know that Angelina Jolie is not expecting another child and, big surprise here, the Duchess of Cambridge is among the best-dressed women in the world. The things I’d miss if...
