So it’s been nearly 2 years since I posted anything here at QueenAnntics. That’s amazing actually. I think I will change that. Let’s do a movie review. In the past month, I have seen 3 movies: Unbroken, American Sniper, and The Imitation Game. Of the 3, The Imitation Game was by far the best. […]

Now that I have your attention. Has anyone else noticed that the typical blogging model has defaulted into compiling a list of things: 3 you must know or 5 things you must do?

Once upon a time, in 1976, my father wrote me a letter because I wasn’t taking school too seriously. In the letter he stated, “But there is a second and maybe more important reason for studying hard. The more you study and learn, the more your mind will expand to look at life a little differently […]

Molly’s Rude Awakening is an unexpected delight in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. For over 25 years, I have traveled Interstate 94 between my home in Minnesota and points east, especially 50 or more trips to Detroit where I grew up. I thought I knew every gas station, restaurant, coffee shop, and convenience store along […]

On my 45th birthday, I vowed, after jumping off of a 32 foot cliff in Jamaica, that I would skydive next. You can check out my pre-skydiving blog to confirm that I really was a overcoming a long-standing fear […]

“Your mother looks beautiful with her hair like that” were his last words before he collapsed and died of a heart attack at the Little Bar restaurant in Marco Island, Florida. He said them to me and I was the only one who heard them. He was 51 years old and the year was 1989. […]

True confession. I get dizzy standing on a tall chair. For most of my life, I have had a fear of heights. High dives? If I wasn’t showing off, I wasn’t jumping. My heart still races when I look over the top of an open parking structure. I have steadfastly refused to take a hot […]

Why glorify the mouse? First let me set the context that compelled me to write about this today.
