The sirens called
She didn’t want to think. She had to swim. She had to swim as if her life depended on it. she realized how dumb that thought was. The cops were in hot pursuit. She couldn’t breathe. She had to reach the blue light. The light […]
Walking into walls again and yes my phone is waterproof
I was going over my calendar this morning and found that I will not have a free week until Mid-September. By this I mean, I am doing either business travel, travel back and forth between my two places or participating in day-long meetings and the like. I […]
Selfies rule but what about the faces of others?
Selfie-taking is everywhere. An extended arm and an intense gaze can be seen on a hiking path, lava cave or crowded flight at 37,000 feet above ground. It’s how we are now. Our faces are always on display to ourselves and to others. We are constantly looking […]
I had a sugar relapse…but luckily I am clumsy
I am a sugar junkie. I have no real shame in admitting it. It’s at the point where I do not find raw sugar to be sweet enough. It is the same problem that I have overall with salt in that even my salt needs salt. […]

I want to be a new “mother” again
