I was born, raised, and lived my first 25 years in NYC - da’ Bronx. Over the next 25, I lived in 3 or 4 states, raised my family, and after a long marriage, suddenly became a divorced empty nester in the Heartland.

When the newspaper changed editors, I went out with the bathwater, so as a 2008 New Year’s resolution, I decided to blog and began in June 2008.

I plan to begin my 2012 New Year’s resolution diet any day now.

Rules of Conduct – Be Nice !

Some folks learn the easy way, some folks learn the hard way, and some folks never learn at all.

Even if you were under the bed, but didn't peek, it could have been a really good game of Gin!
