MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Da, Fiorella honors her father's Russian Orthodox heritage by leaving Christmas decorations up through January 7.  One busy year, she even honored it through March.

How about a paranormal romance featuring a senior citizen couple as the heroes--Crankyman and Sweetywoman.

Bringing you up to date on social media for authors pimping their brand--FaceBook and Twitter are out, newsletters are in.  Frankly, Fio prefers Goodyear blimps with trailers.

Fiorella wonders if big-time singers ever get tired of warbling the same songs again and again.  But maybe the audience is what revs them up.  On the other hand, Fio tends to go around the house bellowing out "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie," one of her fourth-grade favorites, whether Husband is there or not.

Fio may have said this before, but she'll say it again.  For years, she thought the Boston Pops were so called because they were  all fathers.  She was shocked when she first noticed females in the orchestra.

For years, Fiorella thought the Boston Pops were all fathers--and she was shocked when she finally noticed women in their midst.

Fiorella inserts gold hoops in her earlobes every day because one of her Indian friends--Hemalatha Tirumurti?--told her that wearing earrings meant one was human.  And "human" is what Fio strives to pass for.
