July 22nd, 2012 Today was a quiet day, without a lot of the usual hustle n’ bustle of household upkeep. Watching the aftermath of Aurora on Sunday Morning, and the taking down of Jo Pa’s statue, just set a pensive tone for the day.
In the afternoon my husband and I went down to the canal and . . . → Read More: Just …A Quiet, Pensive Day
July 21st, 2012 Once again I sit here stunned at yet another shooting. The theater shooting yesterday in Colorado is hitting everyone hard today. Watching that mother talk about waking up and knowing something was wrong with her daughter, texting her, the daughter telling her she’s fine and to go back to sleep, and then waking to the . . . → Read More: Aurora
July 19th, 2012 This week my sister is here on vacation with me. Our favorite thing is to stand in the water on the sandbar at low tide and talk away the afternoon. I always call this “solving the problems of the universe”.
This morning I think we did it. We were discussing our choices for the . . . → Read More: The Problems of the Universe
June 27th, 2012 One might ask, “Why would you ever stop to even ask yourself that question?”. Once again I was moved by the words of another writer. Ariana Huffington was on CBS this morning remembering her good friend, Nora Ephton, who passed away yesterday. (Screenwriter for “When Haryy Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) Nora was one of . . . → Read More: Why Do I Read?
June 3rd, 2012 At the end of Bikram day in Boston I find myself safely cuddled up on my daughter's couch, HGTV on the telly, glass of red wine and a bag of Trader Joes licorice on the table beside me. The couch is next to a picture window that looks down on the street below from this . . . → Read More: Bikram Day
May 31st, 2012 Ok, this has been a big weekend for Cape Cod. Sunday night, sitting around the campfire, a Facebook friend who lives down the road a piece in Barnstable, posts there's a bear roaming Cape Cod. What? How would a bear get on Cape Cod? We're an island, for God's sake.
As the evening went on, . . . → Read More: Cape Cod Bear

May 17th, 2012 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. A day that would be normally deemed high drama. And now, just flashing at the top of my screen, Donna Summer just died. (RIP Donna) . . . → Read More: It’s Not Drama! Who Knew?
May 10th, 2012 Comcast. That’s all I can say, because I don’t believe this. Over the weekend my husband and I decided to join the 21st century and update the TV’s in both our NY apartment and cape house. Both houses still had huge, heavy, tube TV’s that our kids just laugh at. Off we went to Best . . . → Read More: Comcast
May 6th, 2012 This morning a friend posted the most beautiful picture of the super moon on Facebook. It was taken in Greece at the Temple of Poseidon. Though I appreciated the beauty and majesty of the super moon in the photo, it was her comment that got my attention. She said:
