Forced to Do Nothing

September 10, 2010

“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”    – Winnie-the-Pooh Sometimes old friends can be prophetic. Somewhere about the middle of August, I was having dinner with a very good friend visiting from the West Coast. We’ve known each other since […]

Read, Re-Read and Don’t Forget the Comics!

August 29, 2010

What really knocks me out is a book, when you’re all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. The Catcher in the Rye I know it sounds cliché, but one of the […]

It’s Not Just About Us…

August 18, 2010

Summer is quickly winding down.  The “End of Summer” blues are kicking in.  The few weeks that remain will be a whirlwind of last chance summer jaunts and vacations, BBQ’s with friends and planning our busy fall calendars.  Where did the time go?  As usual, summer is never long enough.  It’s a blur of beach, […]

Reaching New Heights

August 9, 2010

Moving forward is what this project is all about. While that may be interpreted in different ways by people, for me it is all about pushing myself to just “do” in all sorts of ways that I have never done before and hopefully get others motivated too.  So far, some weeks have been about emotional […]

Breaking from the Past

August 9, 2010

Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so….get on your way! — Dr. Seuss I hate this blog this week. I am not going to lie. It was only Week 6 and I just didn’t or couldn’t seem to do  “something big” that would be universally defined as “unique” or adrenaline-inducing or even potentially […]

Spy in Training

July 29, 2010

My silly little secret? For as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued by all things “spy” related – espionage thrillers, cheesy spy novels, undercover agents, TiVOing repeats of Alias, La Femme Nikita, and The Bourne Identity, even decoding the secret meaning of messages in my big sisters’ diaries way back when. I kept tabs […]

Stravinsky, Coco and Me

July 29, 2010

‘Where should one use perfume?’ a young woman asked.’Wherever one wants to be kissed,’ I said.” – Coco Chanel Ahh…romance, passion, Paris, perfume. This past week I went to see a great film, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky. I know this seems “unworthy” of being on my “52” list but let me elaborate before you […]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

July 23, 2010

96 socks, 40 pairs of underwear, 32 tee shirts, and 14 towels later (along with a host of other stuff that filled 2 enormous duffel bags each), the labeling and packing was done and my two girls were on their bus to sleep-away camp this week. I knew I was getting to my “52” very […]

Nude Inspiration

July 20, 2010

Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. – Fran Lebowitz Anyone who has been following my exploits these first few […]
