MATH – The nastiest four-letter word I know

by Pam Sievers 12 Comments

Math and I have never been friends. The first evidence of this was when I was introduced to story problems. If Train A leaves the station at 7:00 AM and travels 65 miles per hour, and Train B leaves at 9:00 AM and travels 80 miles per hour, which train would you take if you wanted to sleep later in the morning?  Truthfully, these problems were about that logical to me. This struggle followed me through high school and into college when I was making a career decision. For the first three Continue Reading

Who’s Hacked our Weather System?

by Pam Sievers 2 Comments

Every week now for months, it seems like there is news of a new cyber hacking scandal. Someone or a group (or a country?) loves to wreak havoc with the theft of our personal data. One week, I received a letter from my health-care system telling me my information may be compromised in a system-wide attack. No problem. They referred me to Equifax for credit monitoring. No kidding - glad I'm a procrastinator. Well, I have some breaking news. It appears there’s been a hack into our weather system Continue Reading

Well Played, Chicago

by Pam Sievers 12 Comments

Is there another northern American city that can pull off a spring break like Chicago? In August? Without a beach? Well played, Chicago, well played. Last week, Kathy and I went to Chicago for a couple of days. It’s my favorite city in the US., perhaps because of my loyalty to the Midwest. It’s an easy four-hour train ride, there is always much to do, and beautiful Lake Michigan views aren’t too far away. This visit was planned some time ago and since much of what we were going to do Continue Reading

Tales From My Closet or The Day I Lost My Knees

by Pam Sievers 24 Comments

If it’s summer, it’s closet inventory time for me. Once again, I’m amazed at what I discovered. Raise your hand if you have items in your closet that have no business being there. Keep your hand raised if you can shake your head and ask “what was I thinking?” This little trip in self-discovery started when I recently shopped for a pair of sport sandals. (I have always called these tendals – part tennis shoe, part sandal.) As I was contemplating the purchase, the sales kid reminded me 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.
