“If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.” — Jimmy Buffett I don’t feel like writing today. I am mourning the loss of a childhood friend who died last week after battling breast cancer for a year and a half. I found out on Friday; funeral was Sunday. I just had lunch with her […]

Cheers to a new year and another chance to get it right. – Oprah Winfrey It’s the beginning of a new year and time for that yearly ritual when many of us size things up, make resolutions, throw out the “old ways”, promise to bring in “the new” and start all over again. Don’t worry, […]

My grandmother was a Jewish juggler: she used to worry about six things at once. – Richard Lewis Last week my father-in-law died. It was so sudden that I need to create a new word to describe it. One minute we were lighting the Chanukah candles on the East Coast and the next minute we […]

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”. I, on the other hand, while confident, am not only camera-shy, but one of those people who always manages to get caught in my sweatpants […]

This past weekend was supposed to be the proverbial trek to Las Vegas with “the girls”. You know, that time-honored getaway that so many “women of a certain age” often go on. It’s been in the pipeline and on my list of “52” for quite some time, and it would have been the first time […]

“Where are the tote bags? I’m not leaving the premises without tote bags. I was promised tote bags and tote bags I shall have.” Seinfeld’s Kramer, volunteering at PBS, in “The Pledge Drive” episode I couldn’t remember the last time I did something just because it was a “good” thing to do.

Karen and I have been progressing through our “52” for 16 weeks now and while we’ve both had some similar experiences and outcomes, they have always been parallel. She does her thing and I do mine — until now. It’s one thing to be there for a friend embarking on a journey in spirit but […]
