Welcome
“You’re a regular riot, aren’t you?” my mother quipped.
The woman has been gone for over two decades, yet I can still hear her sly, sarcastic response to every brilliant comment I ever made to her in my teen years.
Now, as the mother of three teens and an eight-year-old, I believe in paybacks. I picture her sitting on the sidelines in a heavenly stadium, watching the game – otherwise known as my life - unfold on the field before her, as she laughs hysterically and cheers for the kids, who have me pinned to the ground, talking to myself.
The Regular Riot is a blog about everyday life, from the mundane to the magnificent, and the quest to find joy, and even a little meaning, in any given moment.
