Blogged while finishing off the coffee Todd made. (Sorry babe.) At the risk of scaring away any male readers, PMS sucks. It was not in my plan to make this an opener today. I had other plans for this post. But today’s post isn’t going to be about the original plan, and it’s not going … Continue reading This is Not About PMS

Destination Pittsburgh – Day 2
Photo Copyright TMA & The Tara Chronicles, 2106 Bowling alley #2 was only twenty minutes from our hotel and we didn’t have to leave as early as the day before. I heard Todd in the shower a little after 7 and I snuggled down in the sheets, still wrapped up in the warmth of sleep. … Continue reading Destination Pittsburgh – Day 2
Destination Pittsburgh – Day 1 Continued
Photo Copyright The Tara Chronicles, 2016 After the bowling tournament, we drove through fairly steady rainfall back to the city. A weekend away together, alone, was a luxury we weren’t going to ignore and so planned to explore a bit and get some food. Dick and Jane decided to join us. The drive to the … Continue reading Destination Pittsburgh – Day 1 Continued
Destination Pittsburgh
Photo copyright The Tara Chronicles, 2016 Our road trip last weekend took us to Pittsburgh, PA for the state bowling tournament. Born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania, I’ve only ever been to western PA once before and that was to Erie for the state tournament two years ago. When my family vacationed, we got the … Continue reading Destination Pittsburgh
Road Trip – Survival of the Fittest
It’s that time of year again – state bowling tournament and a road trip for Todd and me. I love road trips. I’ve had this idea of driving cross-country for over twenty years. I imagined driving across the southern states to California and then back east across the northern states. I guess you could say … Continue reading Road Trip – Survival of the Fittest
And a Comedy For Those Who Think
Copyright Rob Radikal Melancholy has gotten the best of me over the last few days. I knew, like a good fart, it would pass at just the right time. Yesterday Todd called me on his way to work. Lately when the phone rings, it hasn’t been exactly the best phone call in the world. So, … Continue reading And a Comedy For Those Who Think
Never Date Somebody You’ve Never Noticed
Imagine that you one day meet someone who has been admiring you from afar that you didn’t even know existed before they mustered up the courage to enter your orbit. Imagine that you’ve been pining away for someone else entirely. Now imagine that this secret admirer asks you out. You are either flattered or horrified. … Continue reading Never Date Somebody You’ve Never Noticed
Snowfalls, Remembered
Over a glass of Knob Creek, and after an impromptu cleanup of an overflowing toilet in the kids’ bathroom... All this snow – and a Facebook post by a friend who lives in New York City – had me thinking about snowfalls past. While I was a student at NYU, I loved the days … Continue reading Snowfalls, Remembered
Conversations with Todd – Episode 1, 2016
Me: I love this – seeing the memories from years past. (Referring to the Facebook memories that come through every day.) Todd: What were you doing 25 years ago? Me: I don’t know, I didn’t have Facebook then.
2015 – A Year in Review
It may be a bit backwards to post the year in review after the 16 things I’m looking forward to this year, but I am a Gemini who is rebellious against convention, has an unquenchable thirst for shock-factor, and an unfortunate lack of control over what comes out of my mouth. Looking back on last … Continue reading 2015 – A Year in Review
