I don't remember which days of the week my own children were born but I'll never forget that it was a Tuesday. The sky was the most intensely beautiful blue imaginable. It was my first week in a new district. I didn't know anyone. My children were in daycare 15 miles away. I couldn't get … Continue reading Never forget?

What are you full of?
During last night's mental therapy run, I was thinking about potential and how long it takes for some to accept the challenge and make the effort required to embody their own unrealized possibility. Self actualization - it isn't necessarily an easy thing to accomplish. Change and growth can be scary. There's an inherent risk involved … Continue reading What are you full of?
Dealing with the City of Albany has been a bureaucratic…

Seriously, I've taken to referring to my hips as "croissant" and "pain au chocolat." Whatever. I don't regret eating a single slab of pâté or hunk of Camembert. It was vacation. Now that I'm … Continue reading Living (too) large

Friday evening I was tempted to leap in the air and shout with excitement "I'm in Paris!" (Kind of Mary Tyler Moore-ish, if you're struggling for the visual.) It was just so remarkable to me that a day that began at 5:00 a.m. Thursday in upstate New York could conclude more than 30 hours later … Continue reading Avoir de la chance
