I was recently re-watching the animated television show called Adventure Time. For a children’s show, it is rather dark. It takes place in the land of Ooo – a post apocalyptic wasteland which was ravaged by a cataclysmic event known as the “Mushroom War”, a nuclear war that […]
The month of May, as part of spring, is one of rejuvenation, recalibration, and rejoicing. It’s a renaissance, of sorts. It’s also my birthday month. I tend to treat the whole month as “my time” to treat myself. Sadly, for me this month of May was brutal both […]
“I don’t sing because I’m happy; I’m happy because I sing.” William James It is an odd spring day for this week. The sun is out. It’s been raining for a week, or so it seems. Thus, collectively we’ve been a bit in the dumps. With the sun […]
A long time ago I used to love throwing dinner parties. I enjoyed cooking “non-traditional” dishes and having people just sit and chat at a small table. One time I went through with a dinner even though a hurricane had just ripped through the neighborhood a few hours […]
It’s 2:17am. I’m up coughing up a lung watching a silly movie called My Spy. I couldn’t really tell you what has happened in the movie and I’m more than an hour in. I’m exhausted but know there is no sleep to come for a while. Being sick […]

Ok. Here we are. One full week into the new year. My word for the year is “joy” and I’m determined to GSD (get stuff done). Yet, even though we are one week in, this has already felt like a rough start to the year. Betty White didn’t […]
New York City was, and maybe still, known for being the city that never sleeps. For me, that was always a big part of the New York city charm. I loved being able to still hang out or order food at 3am. Not that I have done so, […]
I have not been to the Emergency Room since the beginning of Covid. I readily admit that, in a weird way, I’m lucky that I’m in healthcare and work in a clinic. If need be, I can receive healthcare fairly quickly. Well, for the small stuff. The downside […]
