Cleaning For The Cleaning Lady
In the past two decades I’ve gone through at least a dozen cleaning services. Some were too expensive. Others did half-hearted work. Some were unreliable. Most started off swell and began to slack as time went by. My latest service is good. But it’s a one-woman operation and she’s been with me less than a year. Ask me again in 12 months.

Hypocrisy. Coming in hot from all directions.

Terrible Tenants
“Be careful about rentals,” he’d warn. “It’s hard as heck to evict anyone.”
Fitbit’s Bid For Female Business
Will Fitbit tell Amazon to deliver a load of Midol and Tampax to your doorstep before you even know they’re needed? Perhaps they could stick a box of chocolates in there, too. And a heating pad.
Life Imitates Art
We’ve read about 336 books and drunk about 1,008 bottles of wine together.
Some People Love to Cook. Not Me.
I will do almost anything to avoid preparing food at home and I have my reasons. One, I hate to mess up my kitchen. Two, I don’t like food smells wafting around the house. And three, I detest leftovers.
Graduation Platitudes
What you see before you is living proof that C students really can land paying jobs and earn enough to eventually move out of the parental homestead.
Writer’s Block And Netflix
Would you rather watch the gloomy news or see Chris Rock and Seinfeld get a speeding ticket in a 1969 Lamborghini P400S Miura - “The most beautiful car ever designed”?
Royal Wedding Overload
Look, Harry and Meg are a cute couple. News commentators assure us “they’re very much in love.” I hope that’s true and I wish them every happiness. Yet I can’t help but wonder what James Madison would make of America’s love affair with royalty.
