A caffeine based life form whose blood pressure has returned to normal since retiring from teaching middle school. I think dogs are awesome, and I try to laugh as things go, because before you know it, it's c-pap machines, night guards & compression socks.

The BMI chart indicates that I am obese. So I did what any reasonable person would do. I threw out the chart...and ate a bagel...with cream cheese. And maybe some Halloween candy for good measure.

“I see the problem.” “Yeah?” “This is Maple Street.” “Isn’t that what it says?” “You want Maple AVENUE.” “Sorry, I’m covering for Dan.” “Is Dan okay?” “Shingles.” “That’s a shame.” “I’m Jill, by the way.” “Where are my manners, I’m Ted.” “Nice to meet you, Ted.” “You too, Jill.”
