Sure, this waiter knows what he’s doing as he’s setting that table for dinner, but I can admit that I have a borderline panic attack when I show up to a wedding reception and see that it’s a formal sit-down dinner with half the kitchen drawer at my place setting. That’s why I’m a big […]

Growing up, I remember being terrified of Mark Twain’s fictional Aunt Polly after she tied a piece of string around Tom’s tooth (and around his bed post), before lunging at him with a piece of hot coal. What a price Tom had to pay for trying to dodge school with a case of the Mondays. […]

However, I am extremely excited about this next move – fortunately, it’s just down the street and not several time zones […]

Mammals tend to retain (and shout out) negative experiences more readily than positive ones – something to do with that whole survival instinct thing. This certainly rings true when I taught my dogs how to respect the perimeter of their invisible fence. They both got zapped by their collars and the little one wouldn’t even […]
