DISCO DIVA: THANKSGIVING DANCE-A-THON

 It has become a tradition in this country that one hour after Halloween ends, Christmas arrives in a blizzard of advertisements, holiday decor, and frantic plan-making. As a diva of a certain age, I have come to have sympathy for that oft-forgotten holiday in between, Thanksgiving. From now until January 1, everywhere you go, you'll be treated to the jaunty little Christmas carols that signify it's time to shop. This year, why not fill your playlists with songs reflect the essence of our November holiday? (And I'm not talking about football!) To this end, I have curated a selection that can inspire gratitude as well as get you dancing so you build up an appetite for the big day. Enjoy!

Play that funky music!

THE WITCHING HOUR

 As a diva of a certain age, I have decided it is time to pack away my Trick-Or-Treat Brandy Snifter. Alas, my days of going door-to-door on Halloween night shouting "Trick or Cognac!" have come to an end. For one thing, I've received a sternly-worded letter from the HOA reminding me that our neighborhood does not turn into my personal speak-easy on All Hallows Eve. For another, nothing says spooky season like being in the comfort of my own home bingeing horror films while indulging in equally chilling cocktails. This witching season, there is an entire caldron full of shows and movies featuring strong (aka: murderous) female leads. So, join me, dear readers, in a spook-a-thon for the ages!  Mwahahahaha!

Let the horrors begin! 

January Blog Post: 2025 IN REVIEW (BOOZE INCLUDED)

For your reading pleasure, I have shared an abridged version of my monthly account of the events of 2025.  Enjoy.
