Yesterday, I went hiking with David and a couple of his aunts and uncles. We hiked down a fairly steep trail to a black-sanded beach below. The hike was invigorating and the scenery was gorgeous. At one point one of David’s aunts leaned over to me and asked if I had ever been so happy …

In The Groove
Right now I should be working on any number of things, but having written one post recently, I find myself inclined to write another one. Perhaps it is the fact that I have been spending my time with friends I have known since college, which has put me in a reflective mood. It was recently …
Destination Unknown
A few months ago I was contacted by the Freelancers Union, an organization based out of Brooklyn, NY. They were planning on setting up a satellite here and wanted to get a lay of the land. This week a small group of them arrived in town to host a couple of events (including one tonight, …
The Purge, An Ongoing Saga
I have never really identified myself as a collector. As a teenager, I never bought collector’s editions of albums unless they had songs I wanted on them. Nor did I collect band t-shirts (although now I really wish I had since all my band t-shirts have gone the way of the Dodo). Given the number …
Ch..ch..ch..choices
Maybe I have been watching too many time travel tv shows, but lately I have been thinking a lot about how seemingly insignificant choices can have significant impacts on the direction one’s life takes. Almost every time I don’t feel like going to a networking meeting or event, I find myself wondering if perhaps this …
Reading Your Audience
I am sitting in an all day class on building mobile apps. You may ask yourself, if I am sitting in class, what am I doing writing a blog post. To tell you the truth, I am asking myself the very same question. I really wish I was adequately engaged in the class. I was …
Aging Ain't Easy
For those of you keeping track of my parental units’ various sagas, you will remember that last week my mother broke her arm. She went to the orthopedist yesterday and discovered that the break is right on the ball of the ball joint of her shoulder. The radiologist said it looked like there might be …
Sticks and Stones
My apologies for the recent radio silence. There has been a lot going on that has kept me fairly busy. Most recently was some exciting news from the east. On Thursday, my mother fell and broke her humerus (for those not in the know, that is your upper arm bone). Obviously, she is in pain …
The Crippling Power of Inerta
Sometimes it amazes me how quickly and easily I can fall back into bad habits. I am always more physically active when I go east. Mostly it is because I have to keep up with two very active little girls. But, I am not complaining. Not just because I love the time I get to …
If Wishes Were Trees, Tress Would Be Falling
Once again I am sitting in LaGuardia Airport in New York waiting for my flight home. LaGauardia is a very emotionally charged airport for me. I am either landing here with my heart jumping out of my chest in anticipation of seeing my niecelettes, or I am waiting for my flight home feeling sad, conflicted, …
