  • Ofra

    I was playing Ofra Haza’s ‘I Want to Fly’ from the Wild Orchid soundtrack. Probably one of the sexiest songs ever recorded. Ron asked who it was (he was in another room): RON: Who is that? ME: Ofra Haza! RON: She’s an Oprah addict?

  • Why Filipinos Are Always Late

    Ron and I will have some great cross-cultural discussions at times. One was around punctuality (I feel like I’ve blogged this already – that or I’ve told it to so many people that I’ve composed it in my head already). I hate lateness. My whole family hates lateness. We consider it a disrespect of someone’s […]

  • Malapropwatch

    Ron and I were at the supplement store and he got some of the new EAS Myoplex nasty-shakes. On the way out he spoke about his February vacation (he’s off the whole month) he talked about his fitness makeover as his transformification.

  • A Research

    It’s been so long since I’ve reported a Ron malaprop. And I’ve got a new one. I met Ron at the corner of Aldine and Broadway – he’d just gotten off the bus after a 12 hour work day. We’re walking back to his place and he’s doing his usual post-work babbling and shivering in […]

  • Ron and Maya

    Ron was in San Francisco searching the jewelry stores of Chinatown for pearls for his mom when a limousine pulled up – and out steps Maya Angelou. Ron had seen Maya when he was in college and couldn’t help but to say high and grinned uncontrollably. She even shook his hand. Ron: Isn’t she’s the […]

  • Not Ab Fab

    I have a thick neck. No, I’m serious. It’s like a tree trunk. My frame is for a medium or small shirt but my neck is always too thick for dress shirts that are sized S-M-L-XL. I think it’s like 16 1/2 inches. If you know me you know that I’m not a hugely fabulous […]

  • Registration

    I’ve often written how Ron says stuff to see if he can make me laugh – usually come faux-FOB-ism. In this case it drifted to my impending adoption of some kittens. I was saying how we have to get the numbered collar tags to help track the kitties. Ron: Yes – we have to register […]

  • Latest Malaprop

    Today’s Ron-mis-speak is I’ve been really healthy today. I took my vitamins and ministers. (rolls eyes)

  • Malaprop

    One of the best things about being with Ron is his constant need to entertain me with malaprops. I’ve told you before of ‘I made it from my scratch’ and ‘do you have my drift?’ but sometimes a mere (purposeful) mispronunciation will make me smile. The latest is pronouncing ‘banana’ as ‘ba-nay-nay’ – in obvious […]
