In Kona, Hawaii, we don't have home meal delivery. It's like a throwback to the days of my childhood. The only food item you can get delivered to your house is pizza or whatever Pizza Hut sells.Back at home, though, as people become more cocooned, Sacramento meal delivery appears very enticing. N

A favorite expression of one of my ex-husbands (who is dead now, I should add) is "pioneers get arrows in their backs." He wasn't necessarily a pioneer, although he liked to think of himself that way. He was a guy who smoked too much pot and was crazier if he stopped taking his meds. He was half

The skeptical people in the world think everybody else is too trusting, and the people who trust everybody think skeptical people are too negative. There's probably a little bit of truth in both points of view. But as a skeptical person, I'd be hard pressed to lean toward the negative side. In fa

It is becoming increasingly apparent that I have no concept of time passing. Things that I might think have happened only yesterday actually happened many years ago, and things that I think happened a long time ago occurred just last year or even yesterday. Supposedly children give a person that

Before I was a top agent in Sacramento, I used to look at the statistics for annual sales production and figure I'd never get into even the top 100. It's not that I had a defeatist attitude as some of you might think, it's just that it wasn't really important to me. I'm disclosing this little tid

Searching for a photo of the Mexican desert yesterday, I ran across this photo of me from 2007 in Cabo San Lucas. This is when I realized I have changed since then. More wrinkles, less hair. But there is one thing that has not changed, and that's my attitude, including the fact it's important to
