Happy birthday mom. Had she been alive she would be thrilled and skipping along. Her birthday. Election day. A lunar eclipse. It wouldn’t have gotten any better than that. I don’t know what type of day lies ahead of me today. There are sone ofd, weird vibes out […]
Here is an indisputable fact. Whichever line you are not in, will be the faster moving one. Happens without fail. I cannot even begin to count the number of times I pick the wrong line. It looks like, by all measures, it’s moving quickly and then the person […]
Look, my mom loved voting. And, often election day fell on her birthday. She felt doubly-blessed that way. She readily and continously reminded me of the importance of voting. As such, since I was of age, I have voted in election I was eligible for. Due to some […]

Eleven years ago today my mom departed this earth. Eleven years. The grief is not any less. The sting is not any less sharp. Fittingly it’s ground hog day. My mom liked the day. She would try to predict what Punxsutawney Phil would predict. We also loved the […]
It’s my mom’s birthday today. It’s amazing that I remember it so well now that she is dead. While alive, I sometimes got it wrong by a day or two. But now it’s seared into my consciousness. Today I think of all the things she loved. I laugh […]
This might seem weird to some. Bit April fool’s day makes me a little sad. It’s a day of jokes and I love pranks. Pulled one off last week on a colleague to great delight. I got that love of pranks from my mother. She took great pleasure […]
