Since I feel like I am still 35 most of the time, today is a reality check….bringing me up short on the issues of aging. I have a pre-surgery physical this morning at 9:30am for a surgery in two weeks. Then, I have to rush home to take my husband for lumbar surgery at 2:15…
Today is the last day I will be thinking of that sweet little boy as my baby. Tomorrow night we will be sharing our last meal in Los Angeles, with his fiancé. The next day 150 people will descend on Los Olivios, CA for his wedding. How does time move along so steadily to stages…

Progressively Falling Apart

One of the questions was about travel and asked what untapped destination should people know about? The answer was Lucca, Italy.…
A Sudden Event
A friend of mine, not my very best friend but a good friend and previous long-time colleague, was hit by a car this past week. She was seriously injured and remains in a coma. She has many broken bones and significant head injuries. This is the second time this year she experienced an accident while…
Chicory and Late Summer

When cultivated, it is radicchio and Belgian endive. This plant has many…
