Somehow, my whole life has become food related. “What did you do for Easter?” We ate at the club. “What did you do this weekend?” Ate at that new restaurant. “What did you do last night?” Ate blue point oysters and fresh halibut. “What are you doing for Mother’s Day?” Eating at a buffet where I can […]

Due to medication and someone having the terrible judgment (sorry, Mom, but it’s true sometimes), I was left to my own devices in the mall. As the story goes, Mom met me at Northpark Center to generously purchase my early Christmas present, birthday present and perhaps Easter gift, all in one. Once she departed, I […]
For those who read A Pain in the Neck, you will understand that there is no possible way to take five prescriptions without there being some side effects. Mine range from heart burn, nausea, blurred vision, slurred speech, hallucinations, drowsiness, and a sudden desire to be crafty. As in MAKE CRAFTS. It all began when […]
In the season of the naughty and nice lists, I’d like to add another: Things I have no business doing. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the end of the year, or because I’ve simply lost all good sense by the time the 12th month rolls around, but it’s wreaking havoc on me. As […]

Actually, it’s only canceled for my mother, who fell and broke her pelvis during game 6 of the […]
Father’s Day is next weekend, the 19th. In the past that meant going to one of Dad’s favorite restaurants – Outback Steakhouse or Red, Hot & Blue. On Saturday I’d pick up something amusing for him – like lottery scratch-off tickets (always a big hit) or maybe a DVD of some TV show he’d just […]
Dinner with the folks is losing what little luster it once had.
