High on the Hog

Culture Notes from the Hinterland

High on the hog

As you know, I’m a Broadway baby who not-so-mysteriously finds herself living in Reno, NV. Blame it on Handsome Hubby. I love the guy, and he loves his hometown. So, here we are. But don’t get me wrong, Reno has its “unique” cultural charms, like the annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook Off,

My New “Social” Life

Cat Lovers, Take Note!

Concerns from the Medical Community

Cat Lovers Beware

Cat lovers, take note! Now, I know you’re going to question my objectivity. I know you’re going to say this is an anti-cat screed from super-allergic me, but no. A study found an “association” between cat ownership and a risk of developing schizophrenia-related disorders and psychotic-like experiences.

Save the M&M’s! Don’t Make America Healthy!

Step Away from My Sweets!

M&M's

First, he came for the COVID and measles vaccines. And I did not speak out — Because I’ve already had my vaccinations. Then he came for the fluoride in the drinking water. And I did not speak out — Because I have good teeth. Then he came for the Kool-Aid, the Lucky Charms, and Jell-O

A “Perfect” Proliferation. A Rant

I, an Imperfect Person, Have Something to Say about the Word "Perfect:
