The Midlife Gals love lists, as you know, so here are a few things that make me laugh (Gawd only knows what kind of list SalGal will come up with!): What dogs do after you stick a spoonful of peanut butter in their mouths The talking baby on the E-Trade commercials A person whose car is so dusty/dirty that...

Name a critter, and we got’em. We live in The Ancient One’s house smack-dab in the middle of a nice neighborhood in the central part of the city. The Mama raccoon has babies too. She tells us to get the hell away from our deck when she takes them out for a night-time stroll. She competes for scariest sounds with the possums when startled. It sounds like some horrible physical attack by...

Sal and I attend an Italian meet-up group to practice speaking Italian. Of course, wine is involved, so the conversazione becomes more lively as the evening progresses. And, my Italian slips and slides around until I find myself speaking in tongues...just not Italian tongues. I meant to ask my dinner companion what he did for a living, but it came out...

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. It happens every year. The wind is blowing 40 miles an hour outside. It’s west Texas windy today, and even the birds aren’t flying. They’re all in their swaying nests thinking, “Da’yam! Grab the babies! I need to pee and fly and sing...what the HELL?!” For me, it’s not that ‘the answer,...

As one half of the Midlife Gals, I’ve been a Sister of the Bad Habit, an Easter Nazi, a Lebowski Dudette, Nurse Ratchett, a rodeo announcer, Queen Lizbet, a detective...and so many others. How many people can say that? Not many, I hope, cuz it can get a little confusing up in my head with all these characters floating around, just waiting to be called upon to take over my...

Okay, first, here’s my list of the things I would NEVER do if I had a week left... Skydive...who does that? And, why? Bungee jump...again, is there a reason for this...at all? Live in Alaska in the winter (or, say, Minnesota)...even for a week. People who live in the northern tundra...

The Midlife Gals have close to twenty archived Internet radio shows that will make you laugh, or our names are...well, that’s complicated, so... Our cast included The Midlife Gals, our BFF, Sweet Pea and the President of the nation of Texas (he seceded us from the Union). We had more fun than a barrel FULL of monkeys doing this show. We interviewed...

Aside from being a wonderful sister and human being, Sal has problems with directions. She’s as dyslexic as the day is long. If I had a nickel for every phone call to me from her cell, hopelessly lost in the wrong part of town, turning right when she should have turned left, not noticing the skyline in her rearview mirror instead of ahead of her...I’d be Bill Gates rich!...
