I just finished reading a great piece on apologies in the New York Times. The writer truly made me stop and think. I need to apologize to a friend. I know I do but am not sure if the friend is willing to listen or not. I did something that caused a huge rift between… Continue reading Apologies
I have been doing some creative, or possibly not so creative writing involving memories and senses. Your senses trigger so many things but one of the most important things they tend to trigger is memories. I am going to, over the course of several days, post different memories triggered by one of our five senses.… Continue reading Your Senses – Smell
My son’s high school drama club opened with a Thursday matinee of “The Pajama Game.” I will apologize in advance as I used my point and shoot for these and it is old. On top of that, I was in row M.
Last night I pulled parental rank. I wanted to watch and listen and take notes on the State of the Union.

Lately, I seem to be writing about anniversaries or birthdays. Who knew so much went on at the beginning of the year? Twenty-three years ago today, I was in labor. It was a Saturday. I can picture the snow on the ground, not freshly fallen but piles of it that I had shoveled from storms… Continue reading Twenty-three Years Ago
Yesterday, while I was off guest blogging at Drama For Mama and Motherese, a birthday party happened. The watershed SCOTUS ruling on Roe v. Wade turned 37 yesterday. Do you remember, if you are older than 37, what you were doing at that age? Had you become complacent in your life, with your thinking? Did you take… Continue reading Roe versus Wade at 37
