This is a very important caution about passive consumption of health care recommended by a doctor. I just returned home from an “observation” admission which was very unclear to me.

The Struggle of Writing according to Sylvia Plath

Lovely Lucerne, Switzerland
The first thing you look for when arriving from Zürich into the Swiss resort of Lucerne are the views of the mountains. While the backdrop of the Alps was not disappointing, the beauty of the setting along the river in historic Old Town was enchanting. We stayed in the Hotel Flora in Lucerne. We checked…
Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to WordPress Support chat system. I was having a few issues and sought live assistance. The Live Chat worked immediately, the glitches were fixed, and I received a transcript. I could not ask for better!
Frozen Moments
The cold….this winter has been miserable.

Chilling
Chilling Since retirement in 2011, I have substituted in a small way travelling for work. I used to work without vacations about 12+ hours a day. Since I worked in the area of special education and early intervention, I told myself it was a calling. Really, not so much. I loved the challenges of developing…
The Demographic
The Demographic As a Baby Boomer, I have always been part of the gargantuan bubble drum rolling through the chaos of the past decades. Continuing to move through life’s developmental stages with many of the other now 60 plus year old aging hippies is no different. As senior citizens, we are in abundance.
