I’m out in LA, the land of sun, surf and Hollywood dreams. It’s also the land of horrible traffic, poor public transportation infrastructure and oil wells well within beach range. Yes, I am not exaggerating. But I am not here to bash LA. Not really. Today, I […]
A while ago, I was explaining to someone (who was very agitated by their boss’ feedback) that they shouldn’t expect work expectations in the workplace. I know that sounds very odd and counterintuitive and maybe even counter-productive. I explained, that at times, people are more reactionary than proactive […]
Some days are just meant to be a bit off. And some days are just meant to be days in which you have to be vigilant. Ominous sounding? Well, nothing bad happened but it is a weird night indeed when you are glad you brought a taser […]
I am a huge baseball fan. Sadly for me, I’m in Dodger land. You know, the team that betrayed Brooklyn and went out west. Nowadays. Sports teams readily move from city to city eschewing fan loyalty. The Los Angeles Dodgers made their cross-country move decades ago. Before I […]
I am of the belief that when it is someone’s birthday, you have to also congratulate their mother. It is a belief I came to many, many years ago and it’s been ingrained into my DNA. My birthday is in grand part a celebration of my mother’s love […]
I am an avid political junkie that went cold turkey about 7 months ago. I suppose that may mean I was an avid political junkie. I had to go cold-turkey despite decades of trying to understand and predict the politcial landscape. I couldn’t stand watching the so-called news […]
I have a never-ending love, craving even, of travel. I just got back from a trip and am looking forward to the next. I think of Willie Nelson’s song “On the road again” with great fondness not only because my mother loved it but also because I’m always […]
Ever since I can remember, I have had a rainy birthday. It’s in the midst of spring and supposedly end-of-May flowers will bloom as a result. That’s all well and good but I like the sun and flowers make me sneeze. Admittedly, there have been days where it […]
I have a lot of wanderlust. I’ve been talking about it non-stop for weeks. I was at a local coalition meeting recently where I proudly noted I try to go to at least two countries a year. I wish I could do more but my son’s school schedule alongside […]
I’m a spring baby. One would think that I would be ok with flowers, grass and trees overall. Howecer, I tend to get horrific spring and fall allergies. Yet, my allergies don’t stop me from looking fondly at tulips and the like. As an allergy-ridden New Yorker […]
