My husband Randy believes in the possible, he always has. He’s not afraid to go up to anyone. He’s not afraid to ask for anything. He’s not afraid, period. So when he recently spied a rock legend in the Atlanta airport, of course, he had to approach and posed a great question to the […]
Let’s face it. There’s a part of all of us that want to believe we’re in the cool crowd, one of the “in” people. For many years I wanted to believe I was a happening chick till indisputable facts got in the way. Do you ever wonder the same? Then you must ask yourself the […]
It happened this week. I was minding my own business when out of the blue, with no warning…I turned 66. (Yes, I’m one of those women who tell their age. I say to heck with it.) If you asked in my teens or twenties, what this time would be like, I would’ve conjured up […]
Oh God, summer began yesterday. So why is the air and light already changing? Why are golden leaves starting to pop from trees like dinner guests arriving too soon? I want to tell them to wait in the car while I fix my hair and make-up. Ready or not, autumn is here. The light is […]
A huge group of people stand mesmerized in front of “Starry Night” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In 1888, Van Gogh painted this piece from his asylum room window, depicting the Provence night sky. He had committed himself after cutting off his left ear with a razor and sending […]
Recently, I was at my mailbox when I heard the familiar low rumble of a school bus. I stood watching it drive past. A young female driver sat behind the wheel, map in hand, learning her route before school begins. I waved and she waved back, giving a bright smile. I’ve always had a soft […]
(Full disclosure: My husband Randy rolled his eyes so much at this post, I almost didn’t run it. However times– and deadlines — being what they are, I decided to go for it.) A few weeks ago I made the mistake of watching “Long Island Medium.” Oh my God. Never again. I’m just not good with […]
Something happens to me a lot. My husband Randy’s in a wonderful, local band. He, Warren, and Danny are a power trio, lighting up the local pubs and bars with great, danceable music. The crowds love them. It’s a great party. People are always asking what time I’ll be there. They assume I never tire […]
“Everyone in the world has gone to bed one night or another with fear, or pain, or loss, or disappointment – and yet each of us has awakened, arisen, somehow made our ablutions, seen other human beings and said: ‘Morning, how are you?’ ‘Fine, thanks – and you?” –Maya Angelou I started reading about the late […]
Like a rocky love affair, I go back and forth with Facebook, ready to break up one day and welcoming it back with open keyboard the next. I’ve weighed the pros and cons and decided here are my top five gripes… It’s like the school tattle tale. Like many Facebookers, I’ve learned to watch every key I […]
