I tend to think of our pets in 3 distinct groupings – the dogs, the elder cats and the other cats. Why?

One of the truly bright spots from the Grammy’s and the debate around Macklemore is the emergence of queer musician Mary Lambert. We had a chance to review the EP and it is terrific. You may have heard “She Keeps Me Warm” which is a lovely love song reminiscent of Alicia Keys (to me) and. […]

Happy Endings Tell us about something you’ve tried to quit. Did you go cold turkey, or for gradual change? Did it stick? I grew up with pop (soda) as a treat. My parents were firm about drinking milk for dinner whether at home or in a restaurant (in those days, no restaurants served juice.) Occasionally, […]
