Empty halls Empty passages Flying umbrellas People disappearing Running yo and fro Come what may A dirty martini languishes Stirred and shaken A vibrant city searching for an answer
Living in New York City this past year has been an act of love
Living in New York City this past year has been an act of love, resistance and resilience. Plainly speaking, it has been hard. Day in and day out I walked to the clinic wondering how we would get to the other side. Sadly, for many others it didn’t […]

Making the time for so many lines
I have a friend who loves returning items. Actually, I have two such friends. And, yes, they seem to truly love returning items to the store. It’s almost like sports to them. One loves telling me about her “return” adventures because I totally cringe. There are two things […]
Living in a small NYC apartment during coronovirus pandemic
