FOOD FOR THOUGHT: I’m all Ocsar-ed out
Well, I did it. For the first time in my life, I settled in and watched the Oscars, the 85th Academy Awards, on Sunday evening and (I believe) into Monday morning. I am travelling with my sister, and she has been a devoted fan of this and other such awards ...

Cars don't seem to evolve as quickly as most other things filled with electronics.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Are we raising trophy kids?
I had a really interesting conversation last week, with a group of women who are all abut my age (50 years old, give or take a decade). We got on a topic that usually polarizes people one way or another, and this particular chat did not disappoint. Within a minute ...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Hearts, chocolate and flowers. I’m there.

BUCK'S BYTES: Why is NASA not viewed as a defense tool?
I hope we're not too cheap to do something about Earth-buzzing asteroids before we find one that will actually hit us.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Women, let’s give each other a break
Are you a woman who leaves home every day to earn a paycheck in corporate America, or are you a “stay-at-home” mom (which, as we all know, means that you work all day every day with no paycheck)? I ask this for a reason, as I just recently had a ...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: What’s your time worth?
When is the last time you went to see a doctor? You made the appointment, showed up on time (early, if you’re like me), and sat in the waiting room and waited. And waited. And waited. My husband went to see his doctor last week, a cardiologist whom he’s been ...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Have you made a career change recently?
By design or by chance (I’m not sure which), I have been speaking to various groups recently on making career changes. Not just mere job changes mind you, but complete career changes. Some people are making this drastic life change by choice, and some are being forced to do it ...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: When do your babies stop being your babies?
Our youngest child turned 21 this past weekend. She’s legal, meaning she is now solely responsible for anything she does, in all respects. She doesn’t need my permission or my signature for anything any more. She’s no longer a baby. I can say without a doubt that my husband and ...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Save a life. Make two trips.
Atlanta is an exciting place to drive, isn’t it? I do a lot of driving for work, both locally and throughout the southeast, and Atlanta is hands-down the most challenging metropolitan area in which to get from Point A to Point B alive and un-dented. Over the years, I’ve developed ...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Resolutions, greens and blackeye peas
Happy 2013, everyone. We’ve officially swept 2012 out the door and welcomed in a shiny, unblemished new year. Brand new, clean slate. I can’t help feeling a little wistful this time every year, but I’m happy to say that I feel more hopeful, more excited than I do pensive. Yes, ...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Merry Christmas, and one and all
I have a confession to make. It’s embarrassing, but I divulge pretty much everything here, so I might as well include this: I have become one of those people who buys Christmas presents for her dogs. I have scoffed at this idea for most of my life, so this is ...
FRANK'S PLACE: Weatherproofing against Apocalyptic fire
With the annihilation of our universe looming, fixing a leaky roof feels trivial.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: A very different Christmas
It’s right here, folks, right in front of us. Finally. The big day – Christmas – is just one short week away. I Love this time of year. I love the baking and decorating, the shopping and wrapping. I love the surprises and get-togethers and smells of this glorious time ...
