She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!

Pam is a lifelong resident of Glendale. OK, except for the seven years spent living in Madison, Wisconsin, and Lansing, Michigan, while she was in school. This baby boomer who is nostalgic about the past is an attorney with a title insurance company in West Allis. Besides being a working mom, wife, and leader of her daughter’s Brownie troop, Pam loves the theater, is an avid traveler, Disney fanatic (except for Pinocchio – don’t ask), and award winning cook.

Her dog, Daisy, also wants to say, “My mom is a good dog walker. She has a great shoe collection but she doesn’t like it when I chew on them.”
