I absolutely hate flying. I would far prefer teleportation. Of course, we’re not there yet. Or are we? This weekend, I flew out to Seattle from New York. The security lines were over an hour long. Luckily, I had my shortcut options. Still, the line was atrocious. I […]
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? As Madonna noted many decades ago: “If we took a holidayTook some time to celebrateJust one day out of lifeIt would be, it would be so nice.” It sure would. For the first time in three years, I […]
Every year, I come up with a word in December to capture the new upcoming year. Some years, my word is spot on. Other years, not so much. For this current year, the word I had selected back in December was “adventurer.” Then life deflated my adventure ballon. […]

What makes you nervous? Just last week, a medical provider came into the exam room and grabbed my hands. He asked me whether I was nervous as I appeared to be. I looked at him and noted, I was not necessarily nervous about the actual biopsy. Instead, I […]
