Life Certainly IS Good!

A car passing on 6A. (this is unheard of) Sudden brake lights as a car pulls over, obviously lost. Cars shooting out of gates on the rotary without looking, people driving north when they think they are heading south, – summer has arrived on the Cape. Lights on until all hours of the morning in . . . → Read More: Life Certainly IS Good!

What Kind of Cocktail Are YOU?

Last Sunday I was in NY when my Cape Cod Times was delivered. When I returned I set it aside, meaning to read it. All this week I tried to get to it, even contemplated throwing it away a few times. I stopped myself because the Sunday CCT has wonderful extra things in it besides . . . → Read More: What Kind of Cocktail Are YOU?

The Day After Bikram

After a night on my daughter's couch I found myself awake and ready to go at 5am.

Yesterday was one of those days where bad news of death, misfortune, and broken relationships hit me from all sides, along with those “I’m not talking to you!” “Fine!” conversations.

Time To Share the Positives

Today is Mother’s Day. If I remember correctly, my mother never let me wallow in self-pity. It was always “pull up your boot straps, stop sniveling, and get on with it!”. Last year, on this day, I was beginning my first steps of recovery from my unexpected loss of her, so I dedicate this post . . . → Read More: Time To Share the Positives

Christian Grey – Today’s the Day

Christian Grey, in 50 Shades of Grey, is such an enigma, I don’t know where to begin. I should start with the author, EL James, that created this character.
