The power of "Sass" 15 Aug 2013 | 09:28 am
I don't spend much time on facebook. If you're there often and you wonder why I don't interact with you like you like, you should know I'm really there to keep in touch with my college-bound daughter ...
Why People Don't Voluntarily Spend Much Time With Me or Why I'm Pretty Sure No Romance Is in My Future 7 Aug 2013 | 07:31 am
I am weird. Yes, yes, if you've been here before, you've probably caught on to some of that. But, no, I'm seriously weird. For those of you who were (kindly) thinking what a shame it was that I was a...
Basic Primer on Science and the Scientific Process 8 Apr 2013 | 06:42 am

The Intolerance of Intolerance or Institution vs. Individual 7 Oct 2012 | 07:06 am

Freakiest "Telemarketer" Call Ever 11 Sep 2012 | 07:51 am
Wah? Is it September already? Well, never mind that. In theory, my phone and cell phone numbers are both on Federal do not call lists. Now, when this idea first came out, getting on the list made a r...
