Cold Feet
I don’t want to go to the North Pole and find out that Santa is not real. I don’t want to visit an active volcano on the chance the flow would suddenly change and burn me up. I don’t want to go to the moon and find out it is made of cheese, Limburger! I… Continue reading

Handmade
My daughter has taken after me and is a creative person. She spontaneously decides she has to make something, has to honor a creative urge. When it comes to gifts, she takes the same approach. I like to make past sauce from Tomatoes I grow in my garden. For Christmas one year, my daughter hand… Continue reading

Macaroni Grill
There was chain restaurant that opened in our neighborhood, The Macaroni Grill that I loved to go to. It had ambience but was family friendly. When it first opened, a singer would mingle among the tables and do requests. Everything was clean. The smells from the grill were exquisite. They placed paper on the tables… Continue reading

A Reluctant Ostrich
Most of the time I do not like discussing politics publicly. Too many people have become aggressive with their opinions. Agree or die! Some politicians delight in exploiting the current landscape, which exacerbates the discourse. There are plenty of media choices to get the answers we have preordained for ourselves. The common thread is that… Continue reading

I’m waiting to get my book back from the proofreader. Now that I’ve taken the plunge (after procrastinating for years) into publishing I want to blaze ahead at light speed. I’m annoyingly impatient.

I grew up in an abusive and dysfunctional home. I learned to be mercilessly hard on myself. Understanding my past and treating myself in a new way has lead to immense peace of mind. It is a challenging road, but worth it. Being aware of the truth, not the family myth, is half the battle.… Continue reading

Confession
My morning routine is the epitome of boring. I wake up tired, take my pills, open the drapes, turn on the television, get mad at the news and make coffee. While I wait for it to brew, I play games on my phone. It’s decadent. Continue reading

Writing
I already write and earn no money at it, so I obviously I would write for free. I am in the process of publishing and may have to accept some monetary reward for my work. Time will tell. I have written actively for thirty years. I have completed about six books, have scores of short… Continue reading

Unexpected
I laugh most at the unexpected twist, a bit of irony, when the straight man reacts to a buffoonish partner. I am a big fan of Abbott and Costello. I have been a lot happier since I learned to laugh at myself, not taking myself too seriously. I am a good source for jolly and… Continue reading
