Memorial Day Feast or: The Spread

Salutations™!! Yesterday was Memorial Day and man did we feast. The whole family was there. My friends over at Mr. Barbecue hooked me up with some delicious victuals to share with my tribe. We had a pan of Mr. Barbecue’s famous pulled pork and “B” sauce. We had their baked beans, potato salad, white (cole)…

The Second One We Celebrate or: Nine Years Past

Salutations™!! As I stated yesterday, I was on the road and didn’t have access to WiFi and wanted to save this one for today so you “Sounds Like Saturday” was yesterday.

The Day After or: Blessed Beyond Deserving

Salutations™!! Yesterday, I responded to what is not probably closer to 290 birthday wishes, be it by Facebook posts, Facebook Stories, Messenger, LinkedIn, texts and emails.

My Other Family or: Dinner Together

Salutations™!! I just wanted to state how much I love my “other family.” By that, I mean The Best Damn Referral Group or as we’re known, TBD. A few of us got together tonight for an impromptu “family dinner” at Finnigan’s Wake. Like I said, it was totally impromptu. I saw some rumblings about it…

Seventeen or: My Boy

Salutations™!! Today, at 242p, my “itty bitty boy,” 3B, will be 17 years old. I remember getting up at 4am 17 years ago and getting his mother and myself ready to relieve her discomfort and welcome our child into this world. He didn’t want to come out, either. We were there by 530a and got…

A Happily Recurring Theme or: Seventh Second

Salutations™!! Note: I liked what I wrote about this day last year so I just copied it and reposted. It’s hard to write this story without repeating myself so, why fight it? I want to bring attention to the fact that I’m still here to annoy you, Dear Reader. I am happy to be able to…

Siblings Day or: The Less Desirables

Salutations™!! When I started talking my sister into coming on The Less Desirables a few weeks ago, there was a struggle but she did come on. It turned out, as I learned just this morning, that it is National Siblings Day. We had fun, or at least I did with her on the show tonight….

Careful What You Wish For or: They’re Good People

Salutations™!! You know earlier in the week when I said I was prepping for a busy 2019 and that it was going to be good? Well, it’s well on its way and I am definitely experiencing that busy-ness in my business. Had to figure out how to make that phrase work, I guess I did…
