Slices of Life...Equal time for the dog
Hey everybody! Hiya! Glad to see you! It’s me, the dog. Wag. Wag.
Excuse my tail. It’s always knocking things over. I can’t help myself. I get so happy and when I get happy my tail sort of takes on a life of its own.

Facebook friends – what type are you?
I am a member of Facebook – the social networking service. I’m not alone. According to estimates, 50 percent of the good folks in the U.S. have a Facebook account, and the website boasts over 845 million active users worldwide. As statistics go, that’s not too shabby for a grass roots idea that began in a dorm room at Harvard less than a decade ago.

Thank you, for being a friend
True friends. Besties. Amigos. BFFs. It doesn’t matter what you call them; they’ve got your back, your phone number on speed dial and your secret recipe for fancy chicken. They boast more reward points than a platinum credit card, with no blackout dates. Ever.

Wear (are) your boots
At our house, we’re immersed in a winter boot conundrum. It all began in the backseat of my husband’s car – where the boots started accumulating like snowflakes on a driveway. First one pair appeared. Then two. Like they were multiplying – in the backseat of the car. Go figure.

Slices of Life...Parenthood: Sometimes it's a bumpy ride
My second born is 17 years old today. Like each of my children, he’s brought me more joy than I ever could have imagined. Well, at least after he got over the colic.
