From Steel Bands to Bidets – My Salute to 2022

by Pam Sievers 33 Comments

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is always a time of reflection for me. The good, the bad and the funny of the outgoing year as well as looking forward. I started 2022 in Los Angeles where I attended the Rose Parade with a friend who waved at every. single. unit. that marched down or along the route; even the Hare Krishnas who were the warm-up for the actual parade. For the first time, I realized how great it is to surround yourself with people filled with joy.  During the Continue Reading

At”last”ka – Part 2: Home

by Pam Sievers 9 Comments

If it had been a game of hide and seek against the moose, we lost. On the other hand, grizzly bears, caribou, dall sheep, dall porpoises, sea lions, seals, otters, puffins, eagles, and whales – both humpback and orcas, truly made up for the elusive moose. To be honest, we saw two moose cows – one from a distance on our first day and I dismissed it. “We’ll see lots of others,” I said. We saw another, so camouflaged by the brush it was eating that I almost missed it. But otherwise, no Continue Reading

At”last”ka – Part 1: Meet Perley

A pack of Camels peaked out of the pocket of his plaid flannel shirt. His teeth were yellowed from a lifestyle far different from mine, and the only thing longer than his hair was his beard. Perley M was our taxi driver who picked us up at Jakalof Bay, near Seldovia, Alaska. Like many great trips, the journey was far more interesting than the destination. We’d taken a high-speed water taxi ride from Homer, Alaska across Katchemak Bay. The thirty minute ride rearranged my internal organs Continue Reading

My life as a cat

Like a million other homes in the United States, COVID recently barged through our front door. It was a souvenir from our recent trip. I don’t blame the cruise – they were impeccable in their cleaning, the staff was always masked, and they had high standards for testing and vaccinations for the passengers. No, I blame the flying experience. I will never look at an airport as anything other than a petri dish of micro-organisms, and an airplane as a test tube of smoldering gases and solids, all Continue Reading

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal was to fill the pages with writing that induces gut wrenching laughs. Since I have no spouse, in-laws, children, grandchildren or pets, I have to work a whole lot harder than most humor writers. Hence, instead you’ll find a blog that features travel, contemplative reflections, and of course some humor – you can’t embrace middle age without it. When not writing, I enjoy quilting, learning about other cultures, and living in the Arizona desert.
