The Culprit
A few months ago, I found an old cast iron floor register in the basement. It had been painted battleship grey and was nothing to behold. Nevertheless, I brought it upstairs and cleaned it up. It would almost fit in … Continue reading

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible
I’m not a mathematician, but if I were familiar with analytics and algorithms, I would research what question people ask most often. Crap, I could probably just Google it and get a reasonable answer. I’d also get a list of … Continue reading

The Jewelry Bag Explosion
On Friday, I went to a photo shoot. Not for myself, but for this Sunday’s “Easter Bonnet” article. My friend Gail offered her hat collection as props for my Sun Journal story. Gail loves hats, she wears hats, and she … Continue reading
