Well summer is almost here and it’s time to hit that old, dusty trail to the beach folks. No whining either, no matter how hot it gets or how humid it may be. When your armpits are sweating uncontrollably and your hair is frizzed to the max, remind yourself of the winter we just had, then lock it up...
Are the Younger Generations Musically Incompetent?
May 16, 2014
I find that with all the driving I do, I have listened to my fair share of radio. I have seen stations come and go and then come back again.

Problems of a Tall Girl
May 15, 2014
My height has always been an issue. I hear all the time how lucky I am to be so tall.

March 6, 2014
Governor Cuomo announced in early January that the use of medical marijuana will be allowed in about 20 hospitals statewide.
