Use my GRANDMA DISCOUNT to get a better deal — I don’t usually promote my grandson’s businesses because it’s too close to nepotism for my taste. And I know that if I start doing it, he will constantly ask me to do it again. He’s the typical snake-oil salesman — if you give him a hangnail, he will take your…

And so should you — I know not everybody wants to subscribe and read all of my stories, but maybe I could convince a few of you to save my boosted stories list? You’ll get a notification each time I add a piece there. It’s a limited and highly curated list of one story at…

I tested it on my grandson — he managed in less than a day — For an optimal reading experience, I recommend a printer and a pair of scissors, but I’m sure the digitally gifted will find a way to save ink and paper.

It never worked with my Mother-in-law however — Fights are a healthy component of any relationship. It helps release the pressure, and it generally leads to make-up time, which is another healthy component of any relationship. At the beginning of my marriage, I hadn’t read the 12 Rules For Life by Jordan Peterson, mostly because he wasn’t born…

Our neighbors usually take this opportunity to live in the woods for a month — My husband’s preferred way of napping is in front of boring sports events. He sometimes indulges in baseball, but his go-to sport is Formula 1. There’s something hypnotic in watching people drive the same road 50 times only to end up where they started. But once every four years, he…

We cooked pizza — of course — I recently shared how I ended my husband’s Thoreau crisis in the wood by cooking pizzas with increasingly tradition-insulting toppings — but I didn’t tell you that these demonic recipes had unforeseen long-term consequences. I was delighted when my husband returned but also surprised because, knowing how stubborn he can…
