I’ve been listening to Billy Joel again. Yes, I say that loudly, proudly and unabashedly. If you grew up in the 1970s, it’s pretty impossible *not* to be in love with Billy Joel. When “The Stranger” was released in 1977, it was all anyone listened to for several years.
My husband gets this. He’s the one who got me started on my new Billy Joel kick. He recently came across a series of videos of Billy performing his songs before a live audience. As Billy performs each song,...
I was always so awed by tightrope walkers. Sliding their slippers across a high wire, arms stretched like wings, a wisp of wind may have a gale force effect a...

I honestly thought I was ready. Last Friday was one of those perfect early-summer evenings: sunny, warm-but not too warm- a wisp of a breeze. A perfect night to...
We had matched on Bumble nearly a year ago. The last message from him was “Happy Mother’s Day.” I admit, I dropped the ball. Sometimes it has nothing to do with...

Brides and Mothers of Brides – do not despair! It may feel like another loss during the time of the Pandemic. Something else you are giving up. First, someone raises the issue of postponing the wedding. Next, the tears, the hand wringing, the bifurcated wedding (ceremony now, party later). ...
