Ten Lines a Bobbin’

by Pam Sievers 12 Comments

The world would be a better place if we had more fishermen and women, I am convinced of it. Especially if they're like my friend, Ron, and his long time fishing buddy, Henry. It doesn't matter how much patience you have, how many gizmos and gadgets you buy, or how many rods you cast, you still have minimal control on the outcome. Yet, at the next opportunity, you are ready to go out again. More of us need to be content with knowing we cannot control the outcome, no matter how hard we try and how Continue Reading

Why Every Parent Should Write a Note of Thanks to Ryan Lochte

by Pam Sievers 20 Comments

Unless you’ve been living in the woods for a week, you know the story of Ryan Lochte, 32, and his buds, Jimmy, 26, Jack, 21, and Gunner, 20. And if you are a parent getting ready to send your child off to school, from kindergarten to college, you need to write Ryan a letter of thanks. When is the last time we’ve seen a single situation provide so many defining lessons about decision making and consequences, doing the right thing, and qualities of a friend? He's made Parenting 101 so much easier Continue Reading

The Olympics of My Adulthood

by Pam Sievers 12 Comments

The Summer Olympics has captured my attention this past week, and it was a nice trip down memory lane in my last post when I recalled the active days of my youth and adolescence. I felt the scar on my foot from a bike accident, and I remembered my own experience with cupping a few years ago that left dark circles on my shoulders just like swimmer Michael Phelps and gymnast Alexander Naddour. Except mine was for the treatment of age related bursitis, not an overuse due to hours swimming or in Continue Reading

“A lot of Olympians are overachievers.” Meredith Vieira, August 5, 2016 Perhaps this explains it. Perhaps, this is the single best reason I never made it to the Olympics. Well, along with personal drive, access to coaches, money to make it happen, practice facilities, and an addiction to Oreos. Oh wait – one more thing. Talent. But a girl can dream, can't she? Dreams fueled by memories, I've decided to reflect on the summer olympics of my youth. Swimming was my sport, and I remember 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.
