Admittedly, my husband and I do a lot of travelling. The primary incentive for that is that he lost his first wife at age of forty. So his mantra is, “We go now, because we do not know what tomorrow brings” For years I have been wanting to see Paris. It has been my dream destination. We drove through it once several years ago on a bus tour. I rem …
It almost seems that the pandemic is in our rear-view window. Yet, for me there have been some permanent changes in our lives. Before the pandemic, when certain sort of movies opened (read Science Fiction), I had to see science fiction movies in the theaters as soon as I could. I firmly believed that these movies could only be seen, and properly …
I have one vice that I am emphatic about, I have to be everywhere on time. And, not only on time, generally I always arrive early. If I have a court appearance or meeting, I almost always show up at least fifteen minutes early. If we have a flight, I am usually sitting at the gate at least an hour early. My family finds my insistence on leaving …
Are you a good texter? Or, the better question is, are you a quick responder to texts? During working hours, I rarely look at my cell phone. Sometimes if I see a text from one of my children pop up, I might look but that is pretty unusual. On weekends if I’m out, my cell phone is usually in my purse. My feeling generally is, if someone needs …
I have a drawer. Everyone in my office knows where the drawer is. It’s my bottom right-hand drawer of my desk. And everyone in my office is welcome to go into the drawer at any time. It contains all of the essentials, that I believe, anyone would need in my office. I have Tylenol, Advil, and for those really difficult days, there’s Extra Strengt …
I have often written that I typically spend my Saturday mornings attending my Weight Watcher meetings. There are a lot of changes going on with Weight Watchers currently, starting with the name. For a while the name has been WW, not Weight Watchers. WW recently announced that it will buy Sequence, a telehealth subscription service that connects p …
My daughters, sister, niece, and I are a bit obsessed. Admittedly, we are a lot obsessed. Recently, after filming had concluded on a reality show that we all watch, one of the cast members discovered that her longtime boyfriend was having a month’s long affair with another cast member. Quickly, the cameras went back up and the reactions to the aff …
We have not been in a movie theater since before the pandemic. We have a wide screen television and theater chairs in our home and that has happily served as our theater for the past three years. In fact, we refer to the room as our theater. We even have a group of friends come over the first Saturday of the month for dinner and a movie. Last wee …
When was the last time you indulged yourself? While in Italy recently (which itself is an indulgence) my husband and I grew accustomed to drinking cappuccinos at night. As Italians generally do, we would sit together, relax, savor our cappuccinos (mine was always decaf), and just talk about our day. In telling our children about our trip, we …
For some reason, I’m a bit obsessed with reading all of the articles about the Gwyneth Paltrow trial. For those of you who have not been following the trial the issue is a 2016 snow skiing accident. The Plaintiff, Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, has accused Paltrow of crashing into him and causing him lasting injuries and brain …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
