About Me

My photo
I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 53 years, two years after we met at college. I taught in both middle and high schools as I really love teens and in-betweens. I was also a certified Lamaze instructor, and for a short time a volunteer chaplain at Howard County General Hospital. I am a two-time cancer survivor, ovarian (2003), and breast (2019) I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs with great parents, in a bilingual household. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, the Orioles, and sometimes the Ravens. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy (Kath), and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader, cook, photographer, lover of languages, music, and four-footed furries.

No Vice Too Insignificant

 Last night at dinner I ordered a glass of red wine.  The couple with whom we dined were shocked.  "You're drinking wine?"  

"Yes, I'm drinking,  thinking of taking up smoking, and seriously considering debauchery."  

Are these not the new norms?   Pathological lying; bullying until one gets what they want;  consorting with enemies; inciting riots and sedition; infidelity in marriage, sexually assaulting women, undermining all established rules for one's own benefit?

Let's celebrate lack of refinement, ignorance, and abject vulgarity!  Absolutely no virtue is worth defending, or should be left unscathed.

We have been lied to:  Crime pays;  the truth enslaves; God is dead; and the Anti-Christ is headed for the White House.

Wow!  Have we ever been playing this wrong.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some deadly sins to investigate.
