Happy Father’s Day

Posted on June 15, 2014 by Clearly Not Normal

Those were some serious glasses! He eventually had tri-focals. I don’t know how old my dad was when this picture was taken, but he died of lung cancer in his late 50s. He also had multiple (I don’t remember how … Continue reading →

Boston – A Runner’s Perspective

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Clearly Not Normal

It’s almost 24 hours after the bombs went off during the Boston Marathon. I’ve spent this time reading about the heroes who emerged immediately. I’ve spent very little time reading about or watching videos of the explosion. I’ve spent this time … Continue reading →

What is Your Sense of Humor?

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Clearly Not Normal

I’ve been doing stand-up comedy once a month for the past 5 months. It’s something I always wanted to try, and now I’m doing it! I don’t want to do it for any reason other than as a creative outlet. … Continue reading →

Everybody’s a Comedian!

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Clearly Not Normal

It’s impossible to do something out of the ordinary when you’re 51 years old without someone saying “is that on your bucket list?” It’s like they believe that I’m going to kick the bucket just because I’m older than they … Continue reading →

I just found out that I was selected to run in the 2012 New York City Marathon.  By selected, I mean I put my name in a lottery and I got lucky enough for them to select my name.  So … Continue reading →

You Are What You Eat

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Clearly Not Normal

I wonder what was on the menu when some genius came up with the cliche, “you are what you eat.”  What does that even mean?  You certainly can’t take that literally!  If you could, I would be known as “Delicious!” … Continue reading →

You Don’t Say!

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Clearly Not Normal

The people who know me casually see me as someone who would seem quite normal.  I don’t throw off this weird vibe (at least I don’t think I do).  I tend to blend in and mirror the crowd I’m with. … Continue reading →

Holidays in My Brain

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Clearly Not Normal

It’s officially “Holiday Season.” For me, that means many things, none of which are normal! First, we have Thanksgiving. For you, that means a day off filled with family you may or may not like. If you’re the host of … Continue reading →

A Place For My Stuff

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Clearly Not Normal

George Carlin did a routine about his “stuff.” It’s really funny and I can’t even hope to improve upon his master class on comedy! But I have to talk about my stuff. I have accumulated a lot of stuff in … Continue reading →

How I Met My Future – Part 2

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Clearly Not Normal

Everyone says you don’t really get to know someone until after you live with them.  You can take that two ways.  One, the person you’re dating will reveal her true self after living with her for a while.  Two, she’s … Continue reading →
