Covid makes experience collecting a challenge which is exactly why I said YES when asked if we wanted to foster Whiskey, a Boston Terrier who was in need of a temporary home…Continue Reading
This is my stance on the last two years and my hopes for all of us in 2022. For this family, 2021 had a grim start and has had a grim ending. I would really like to be done with grim. For 2022 how about we have less grim and more VIM? Continue Reading
Over the summer a good friend of a good friend of mine asked me if our New Year’s Day car accident changed the way I live my life. The question, over a cocktail, kinda stopped me in my tracks.

About a year and a half ago I started regular Walk and Talks with my theater group. The goal was to offer more opportunities for people to connect outside of the 5 to 10 minute quick snippet visits that would take place at our currently disbanded theater outings. I also wanted to prove to non-believers that yes there are quite a few waterfalls in Central Park….Continue Reading
My family and I ate the last of our “healthy meals” as provided by our group last week. We will miss getting bags of carefully and lovingly prepared dinners and grab and go snacks, but it is time for us to fend for ourselves…Continue Reading

On the morning of January 1st 2021 I asked my daughter if I could borrow her hot pink Canada Goose coat for skiing. She generously agreed with the caveat that I not trash it. My retort? Margaux if I trash your coat I think we might have more serious problems than your coat…Continue Reading
