Tax day musings
I did my own taxes by hand for years, burning the midnight oil night after night, filing at the last minute. Then I tried TurboTax, but for whatever reason it seemed to make things even more complicated. And so I … Continue reading →
Women and men, men and women – short and tall, tall and short
I am not a tall woman. I’m medium-sized, so very medium-sized that at 5’4″ I fall very close to the “average” in the mathematical sense: The average height for women in the U.S. aged 20 years and older is 5 … Continue reading →
E-Z Pass isn’t always so easy
I’ve been using an E-Z Pass transponder for many years. There are quite a few toll roads near me, and it makes using them much easier. But suddenly, the other day when I was out on a drive, I noticed … Continue reading →

The US wins ice hockey gold
The win is a big deal, because it’s been 46 years since the US last won – although it’s often been in the running. Back then – 1980 – the contest had Cold War implications, because the Soviet team was … Continue reading →
Is it a blizzard or just a snowstorm?
I don’t care what they call it, as long as (a) I’ve got food in the fridge, (b) I don’t lose power, and (c) I don’t have to drive anywhere. So far all three conditions are being met. But it … Continue reading →
President’s Day poetry
[NOTE: Today is Presidents’ Day or Washington’s Birthday – or both – and this is a repeat of a previous post.] I’m not that old, but pedagogical practices in my youth seem absolutely archaic compared to whatever passes for education … Continue reading →
