Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect. Finally, you’ll hit the Bull’s-Eye of Success. -Annie Oakley I expected a big adrenaline rush from the […]

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you’re in. — Dr. Seuss Lately I’ve been looking for a different sport or type of exercise to explore (the running didn’t last–see post).

Max is a confident, personable guy who is well-suited to be on camera. Good-looking and put together (at least whenever I see him), he always seems to be “camera ready”.

“Put your left hand here and play D and A,” Barbara said to me. I hit the note tentatively, feeling the eyes of my husband, my two kids, my daughter’s play date AND the piano teacher on me — all holding their breath. While I was a bit unsure about this it was definitely a […]

Do you bake? I don’t, not really. The occasional Tollhouse cookies or birthday cupcakes from a mix, and a key-lime pie a very long time ago, but honestly, I am not much of a baker. I find the mess and the required preciseness of it more stressful than cathartic, although I once read that baking […]

I downloaded an App from Apple’s iTunes store this week. Not so different, new or exciting? Well, it wasn’t just any App. It was something that represents a big “to do” for me. And then, I actually did it. What did I do? I went running. And I used a silly little App on my […]
