I will admit I’m a bit anxiety-riddled. And, let’s be clear that’s an understatement. I question my daily decisions. Hope things will turn out ok. But I also very clearly understand that hope can’t be a decision-making factor. My brain feels like it is on fire. My chest […]
I am going to admit something I probably shouldn’t. While working certain days from home this past week, I finally put my stove on. I’ve been in this apartment four months. And, I put it on not to cook. I, instead, put it on to heat a freshly […]
I do not drive. Have never really felt the need to despite living in 20 cities. While I was an oddity in Los Angeles, here in New York I’m perfectly normal. And, that is how I like it. I do like riding in cars. I love singing in […]
It had to eventually happen. The last time I used a payphone was five years ago in the airport in Rome. And, I barely figured it out. I am not unique in my non-use of public payphones. I always do a double-take when I see one. I do […]

I run, run, and run. I’m in constant motion to and from. I fidget. I bite my nails. I’m in constant motion. I’ve always been this way. I was born like this. A decade ago, I would walk 45 minutes in the morning to work and 50 minutes […]
I have a very fussy dog when it comes to eating. This is such a bizarre thing to me. My past dog was not finicky as he ate everything and very quickly at it. He would remind me of medical residents at a free luncheon. Although, my past […]
Despite still feeling under the weather, I had to prepare for a high level meeting where I had to be prepared to make some big asks. My brain was tired. My throat sore from all the coughing. My bones ached from having to take it easy. Yes, that […]
During Superstorm Sandy we did not evacuate. We were inland, in the suburbs. At around 11pm, we lost all electricity. At around midnight we heard a large tree crash. We just hoped it wasn’t on the house. The wind was fierce. It’s howl even fiercer. We survived that […]
