TV Land is currently running a marathon of episodes of the Cosby Show in primetime all week long.
I was watching a few episodes last night (including the one where Stevie Wonder’s limo hits Denise and Theo) and remembered what a great, fun show it was. My favorite episode is the one where Theo doesn’t want [...]

“Let me hear you, a one, a two, a three…”
I’m a huge, diehard Cub fan. This may say something more about my view of the world than I’d like it to, however, it’s true. I bleed Cubbie blue. Of course, I’m excited about the postseason, but still have reservations. I’m a realist and a Cub fan, which are two things not mutually exclusive.

Getting back in pocket…
While i was gone this weekend at a wedding in Battle Creek, Michigan, i found myself without cell phone service for most of the trip. While relaying this to a friend, I apologized for not getting back to her, saying I was “out of pocket.”
While it would seem this is just polite conversation, a disagreement [...]
