As I'm sure most of you, especially those over 50, can attest to, technology is changing at an incredible rate. I am not one of those who complains about it, I thrive on it. When I was growing up, part of the time we had a "party line," now I can "facetime" with a friend in a village without electricity or running water in Tanzania. The fact that we are all more connected is a great gift.

  I need some help understanding a phenomenon running through the radio. Do you hear Yanni or Laurel?   I have listened at different times on different channels and pieces of equipment. I hear Yanni (sorry, Laurel). But the rest of my family definitely hears Laurel.

  Its two days later and social media is still all abuzz about the Royal Wedding. I believe Russel Crowe expressed it best. He tweeted, “It feels like the world paused for a moment to witness love.” I felt the same way, with all of the horrific news coming out of Texas and Cuba on Friday it was nice to take a short break away and witness the wedding of a young couple in love.  

The wretchedly rainy weather suggests otherwise. Usually the warm weather we usually find – albeit not this year – signals wondrous opportunities to experience live music, often outside.

As you watched the spectacle of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get married this moring you may have missed this important story...Hasbro announced it has trademarked one of the most recognizable aspects of one of its most iconic products: the smell of Play-Doh.

Since I was young I always liked to "take pictures".  As such, we have walls of photo albums and other walls covered with "blowups". With the advent of the digital age and the iPhone camera, if anything, I have upped my game.  I believe that a key secret to taking memorable photographs is being in the moment, seeing a shot, and whipping out my iPhone to capture it.

There has been a lot in the news lately about apology. No, this is not intended to be a political blog. However, the talk got me to think about the concept of apology. Certainly, something we have all had to consider, and, I would think, from both the giving and receiving sides.
