Bio

I read because I must. It's like breathing to me. And I love talking about books. But I'm also an Arsenal fan, a wine drinker, a music lover and weirdly obsessed with pop culture. I mostly blog about books, but sometimes about things I'm thinking or doing. When I'm not on the blog, I'm scoping deals for a professional services company, hanging out with friends, or seeing some live theater.

Cheers to You, Uncle Mac

My Uncle Mac died this morning. He’d gone into the hospital for a relatively minor procedure, but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. About two o’clock this morning, he had a massive heart attack. He was my mom’s last surviving brother, and of the ten children in my mom’s family, only three are […]

This Dating Life

Stop. Just stop. That was my reaction this morning when I put Pandora on to provide some background music while I was working.  I was inundated with ads about finding single men in my area. Facebook does the same thing. It’s exhausting. Because I would like to be in a relationship, find the man of […]
