I was going to title today’s blog, No Post Today, but then I realized if I explained why, that would be a post. So, here goes… My computer died.This greatly saddens me.Yes, some of my files are in the cloud, but most are in a desktop folder titled OCT23 which was supposed to be dragged

Have you ever experienced something so bad it was good? A terrible show but thoroughly enjoyable? Happens to us enough that over the years we’ve started a list: The Best of the Worst. Recently we saw a local version of one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, a musical that we have seen easily half a

For the past several months, I have been deferring plans with a, “just let me get past the wedding” response.

We attended the Simon & Garfunkel Story at the Coronado Theater recently. We had great seats, courtesy of our daughter, and struck up a conversation with the couple next to us (with almost equally great seats, but no aisle). They had driven in from Woodstock and were curious about where to eat next time they

–but then again, does it count as a regret if it’s purely circumstantial remorse? I could have attended the Prince concert with friends in 2014. I didn’t go because I was ‘too busy’. And… I thought I’d have another chance. I haven’t been to a stadium show in decades. Too many people. Too much money.

Some of you are probably thinking, about time, right? And others are like, what? A quick refresher–whenever I travel, I try to keep track of things that I experience that are new and/or different for me. You know, anything that causes me to say, “Hmm, well that’s weird.” I’ve published “weird” lists for Ireland (twice),

I’m struggling with words this morning. My predictably regular Monday morning thoughts are randomly escaping me. I’m sure I’m not alone in this disconnectedness.
