Swift: Sept. 11 remembered in glimpses, sound bites 
I think of 9/11 whenever I hear Nickelback.

Swift: I want my DVR
When my family bought its first VCR, I remember marveling at its state-of-the-art sophistication.Prior to this, you simply had to rearrange your life to watch something special on TV. If you wanted to find out who shot J.R., you had to miss your Jazzercise class.

Swift: ‘Dance Moms’ on two left feet
Move over “Toddlers and Tiaras.” There’s a whole new breed of scary parent in town.
They’re the “Dance Moms.” They live in nicer houses and dress posher than “Tiara’s” pageant moms, but they are every bit as petty, strident and horrifying.

It was called Mombook.

Swift: Barn swallow infestation an owly problem
Maybe it was the fact my mother let me stay up and watch “The Birds” when I was 5. Or it could have been our farm’s overly confident barn swallows, who used to dive-bomb us kids and snatch the hair off our heads.
Whatever the case, I have always had a slight fear of birds.

Swift: Family fashion like one big sister act
I blame the Partridge Family.
That telegenic clan in matching Dacron can be the only explanation as to why my mother always wanted her four daughters to dress alike.

Swift: Understanding the grandparent clause
Maybe that’s what they mean by a grandfather clause.
It’s the phenomenon that happens when a former drill-sergeant dad suddenly turns into Squishy McCuddlypants with his children’s kids.

Swift: Cat goes on an epic ad-vent-ure
I was sitting at Perkins with my friend “Thelma,” gazing out the window at a downpour so heavy that we agreed to wait it out.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
I held it up to read the following text from my husband, Irwin, at home: “OMG. Cat in vent.”

Swift: The German-Russian guide to feelings
I sometimes suspect my parents found me under a cabbage leaf.
It’s the only explanation to how vastly different I am from the rest of my family.

Swift: Dog endures battle of the bulge(s)
Poor, lumpy Jake.
When he was 3 or 4 years old, my father-in-law pointed out a slight protuberance on his left side (hereafter known as his “driver’s side”).

Swift: Count me among the math-phobics
Poor Sister Clavera.
She was my third-grade teacher, and I used to blame her for making me hate math.
She was a short, feisty nun with a shock of red bangs escaping from her habit. I didn’t like her much.

Swift: Picture-perfect memories
I must admit it: I’m feeling a tad jealous.
After spending the last few days eyeballing gorgeously shot, super-creative photos of seniors from recent high school graduating classes, I did feel twinges of envy.

Tammy Swift column: Going from bridesmaid to the Captain of the Coffee
The comic hit of early summer just might be “Bridesmaids,” the new Kristen Wiig movie about the hilarious, outrageous exploits of a bride’s best friends before they march her down the aisle.I guess such a film will enjoy better box office than one called “Matronly Aunts,” a movie about a gaggle of middle-aged women relegated to making pew bows and pinning on corsages at the wedding.

Swift: The good, the plaid and the ugly
I blame the brown socks.
My husband Irwin grew up with four brothers and a sister. One way that his mom kept organized, and kept her sanity, was to color-code the boys. Irwin became Mr. Brown. Brown socks, brown shirts, brown belts.

Swift: Shelving some old troubles
So it’s 10:30 p.m., and I’m trying to install closet shelves in our home office.
But first I am having a meltdown. When upset, my voice rises to levels that only dogs can hear. At this moment, it can only be heard by a certain pack of specially trained police dogs in Missouri.
And Irwin.
