The Reading Terminal Market was one of the first places we visited when we came to Philly. We heard it was a good place for lunch. We stuck to the outside aisle, finding a cheesesteak, some ice cream, and a box of made before our eyes Amish donuts. I was a little intimidated, […]Read Post ›
Remember when you would find a dollar under your pillow when you left a tooth there the night before? Discovering chocolate eggs scattered around the house? Gifts under the tree, left behind by someone named S.C? The Norwood Thanksgiving Fair? What about the first time you scored Britney Spears tickets!? Something extraordinary happens.

Feb 25, 2018, Editor’s Note: So it turns out 7 of my top 17 ended up with an Oscar nod or two. In response, I will amend my post title to “The Best Movies of 2017 That May or May Not Get Nominated”. Also, I have now seen all of the best picture nominees, […]Read Post ›
As we near the end of the year, on quick reflection, it would be fair to say “see you never 2017”. I’ve heard people promise a quiet, happier, better 2018. Personally, the last 4 months have been weighed with cancer, and the death of my step dad, and my grandmother. It’s been more lonely […]Read Post ›
Today would have been Al’s 65th birthday. A few days ago, I was gearing up to sing one of our slightly on key yet always charming birthday renditions to him, and now… now I don’t even know what to do. My step dad Al had brain cancer. And he died five days ago. […]Read Post ›
It was a dark and stormy morning. As the wind blows, the rain pours, the evil witch cackles… Dark and stormy?! No way! We’re at Disney World! It’s fireworks, energy, music, and Mickey. We’ve been up since 3am. There really isn’t much that I would get up for at 3am. After months of training, […]Read Post ›
This is my life’s motto: If it’s legal, safe, doesn’t hurt anyone, and I’m available, I’m game. I’ve found some of my favorite adventures in life by simply leaning in and saying yes. After moving to Philly 21 months ago, this really has become a way of life for us. So when an offer […]Read Post ›
Monday morning. 6:41am. Please, just let me fall back asleep. I toss around, eventually landing on my right side, as Derrick wakes up and begins getting ready for work. After 10 minutes of lying there, I decide to get up for the day. I walk the 63 steps to the bathroom, grasping to […]Read Post ›
September often brings mixed reviews with the turning of season, and blockbuster hype (or blockbuster bomb) enthusiasm with going back to school, along with early leaks of Halloween and Christmas decorations. For me, September means TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival. Last year, unable to volunteer at TIFF, I started my own film festival […]Read Post ›
Friday. We got the call that my dear Grandma Fife was being moved into Palliative Care from her home at the retirement home. Okay, more serious than before, but thankfully we were already back in Canada, and I was planning to spend the following five days to have time for just Mike and Grandma. Friday night, […]Read Post ›
