I’ve been doing this DelSo thing for what will be a full decade come December 9th. Wow. I don’t know how that happened, but, I’m also unclear how it is even possible that I will retire in less than 6 years. Boom. Just like that. Incredible! Over the years, I’ve written about lots of different … Continue reading DelSo & CivMix

The perfection of Paros
I’m not sure how we got so lucky with this trip. I mean, the weather has been unrelentingly sunny and hot, the food fantastic, our accommodations comfortable and the transportation between islands pretty much flawless. What more can one ask? Since we are now on our final island before our return to Athens, then home, … Continue reading The perfection of Paros

These excursions, classes and activities … Continue reading Eating Athens

Three of … Continue reading Lock her up – four books about young women who have lost their freedom
Pride Parade pictures

It was a wonderfully joyous day and I was so happy to see and feel the love that was present. And, for the record, I'm there for my LGBTQ friends every … Continue reading Pride Parade pictures
Another four day weekend. Sort of.
While it may not have officially been a holiday weekend, it sure felt like one! It started on Thursday with the first Alive at Five for the season. I shot photos on a beautiful evening down by the Hudson for a Seen gallery and it didn’t matter at all that I knew no one present … Continue reading Another four day weekend. Sort of.
