In the last week, a minimum of 8 people made comments to me about my weight. No one was overly critical, but there was a note of concern in more than one voice. I can only imagine that if 8 people said something to my face, another 5 or 10 had said something behind my … Continue reading a weighty subject

Not enough words for happy
I haven't had a lot of words to share recently. Getting my home together and my marriage amicably apart is rather time consuming to say the least.

It may have been the combination of old friends, terrific food, … Continue reading DeWitt Lake

While on vacation in Palm Springs, I participated in my first Seder. What a wonderful experience! It was everything I'd ever imagined - filled with ritual, food based, and slightly chaotic. The perfect religious and special meal. The opportunity to enjoy a Seder dinner arose when Griffin and I visited an old friend of mine. The last time … Continue reading Pass(ing it) Over
