Back in February Don and I had the DISTINCT honor of being asked to speak at the Wedding Celebration for my niece Abigail and her husband Jake. Pressure for sure to hit the right tone, say the right things, and be absolutely authentic in the process. After much thought, tons ofContinue Reading
We are happily home from our Great Croatian Graduation Adventure. Oh my what an epic adventure it was – for the place of course – but really for the people we experienced this country with. Here is my rather public thank you to the group…Continue Reading
Our family has long subscribed to the travel theory that if a place is semi difficult to reach it is WELL worth the effort. This travel ethic or perhaps habit? is why we pounced at the opportunity to reside in the super luxe Refuge de Solaise on top of a mountain above the tres chic ski village of Val d’Isere, France over the kid’s FINAL High School spring break…Continue Reading

Any guesses on the thing I love MOST about Summer? Continue Reading
Phewph. Just back from a 3 day whirlwind drama (of the finest variety) and fun filled NYC endurance theater jaunt. I was like a drunken sailor on a boat leave, collecting as many “only in NY” moments as I could as if I would be re-boarding my ship for another year and not just back in 2 weeks.
