Did you notice I left out “C?” That’s because “C” would have been for Clinton and I found her to be a deeply flawed candidate that the Democratic National Committee forced upon me as their chosen candidate. It wasn’t that I believed her to be unqualified, only that she was the wrong nominee at a … Continue reading The A, B and D of politics
The urge to purge
Confession: I have too much stuff, particularly clothing. These days when I look at the two-sided garment rack which is stationed outside of the closet large enough for me to step inside of, I feel weighed down and vaguely embarrassed. It's too much. I’ve defended my consumerism with numerous excuses - I lost weight and … Continue reading The urge to purge

These days, I’m lucky if I cook an evening meal … Continue reading The New York Times: all the recipes fit to cook

Somehow 10 days have flown by and it's back to school time. It's been a quietly busy vacation and I'm pleased that I resisted over scheduling myself, something I'm inclined to be guilty of doing. So - what did I do? Let me tell you! I went to the movies, twice. Bonus - neither film … Continue reading Holiday wrap up
