WE WERE NEVER A CURRIER AND IVES COUPLE – GARRY ARMSTRONG
The title comes from an episode of "The West Wing" which we are binging again in this early spring of discontent and dismay. The series is even better this time around, a great mental prescription from the Coronavirus while our world seeks a political hangover cure. Many of us, struggling with the present, have tinted … Continue reading WE WERE NEVER A CURRIER AND IVES COUPLE – GARRY ARMSTRONG
SNOW BY DAY & A DASH OF DUKE – Marilyn Armstrong
I got up and went into the kitchen. It was snowing. Just a little bit at that point. Just a dusting -- a rather wet dusting.

But … Continue reading THIS ISN’T GOING TO GO ON FOREVER – Marilyn Armstrong

NO ONE GIVES YOU SYMPATHY WHEN YOU GET A COLD – Marilyn Armstrong
I have a cold. It isn't much of a cold. It's the sniffles and a headache. Garry has the same cold. I am whiney. He is grumpy. And there's no point in complaining because no one gives you any sympathy. All they say is "Don't get anywhere near me, I don't need your germs." My … Continue reading NO ONE GIVES YOU SYMPATHY WHEN YOU GET A COLD – Marilyn Armstrong
