The title of this blog is taken from one of my favorite greeting cards. I wrote a different title back in March, shortly after my last post and saved it as a draft. The title was The Ugly Truth. Just a title no content. It’s probably better that I didn’t post it. I can’t really [...]

I put this little piece together from footage I took at the airport before an early morning flight that we (Lynne Jordan & the Shivers) had to catch home from an out of town gig. Life on the road, in the life of a diva… Enjoy!

I fear that I am becoming one of “those women!” You know the ones. The ones who are obsessed with their feline companions. I really don’t think I’m obsessed with Shana Punim (denial) but hardly a day or conversation goes by that I don’t mention that damned cat! I am starting to worry.

“Another Year” ain’t for everyone. A friend said she didn’t like it because “nothing really happens.” That’s exactly why I LOVED this movie. We get a peek into the life of Tom and Gerry, a past middle aged couple who still love each other, and are content with their lovely calm life. But they have [...]

Missing In Action. That’s what they’ll say about me at the gym. I have fallen off the wagon. Oops! I wish I could blame it on “The Knee Chronicles” but I hopped off the ole’ girl awhile before that. However, I am not discouraged. I figure as long as I am still living, I can [...]

He never met her. She simply responded to an ad announcing a Swedish scholarship program for poor kids in [...]
