Lifestyle // February 10, 2013 I adopted a dog about a year and a half ago and quickly found out that they are barking, shedding, biting, needy, nosy, drooling little things that will pee all over your living quarters and possibly your favorite pair of platform heels. They’re also the most loving, trusting, happy, wiggling, funny, cuddly and loyal creatures you’ll ever find. If visions of puppies are dancing in…

Travel // December 17, 2012 Ah, wintertime. 8 years ago, I left Cleveland in search of a warmer climate. I never wanted to endure low temps again. Lake-effect snow? No thank you. Sun and sand? Yes, please! Growing up, winter was my only free time to travel. My trips had to include tropical beaches. Now, having lived in California and enjoyed years of almost constant sunshine, my pre-requisites have changed…
Opinion // December 3, 2012We humans are so very unhappy.

And of course, I always…
