A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
I was dreading this week. I had many unpleasant appointments and obligations. But I have to say, I have really gotten a lot done and I’ve lived to tell the tale! There’s more to do but I’ve made a good start.
Today it’s hard to be in the mood to work, because I have vacation for [...]
I was reading a very popular blog about some people going through a crisis. Comments said again and again how brave they were to share their deep anguish. I agree.
But, there is a thin line between bravery and dwelling. When does the clock turn from “You’re so brave to face and acknowledge your pain” to [...]
Our AC is broken. Nice, huh? Over a hundred degrees every day now and the vents are shooting out hot air.
I’ve discovered frozen grapes. I eat a bunch of them before bed and they sort of cool me down on the inside. I’ve been really into fruit lately with the arrival of the hot weather, [...]
My nephew commented recently on an entry here that Max is so big, he feels like “Life is zooming past our door.”

Here they are, a pic of me with my lovely little PencilPal, Victoria, and a certificate attesting that I did this. Yes, I am a caring, active member of the community, who gives freely of my spare time to give delight [...]
Enough woe is me stuff. It’s there, it’s there all the time, I’ve acknowledged it, but no need to endlessly repeat it.
In a little bit I’m having a pizza party get-together at a local elementary school. I was a PencilPal, which was through the BookPals program of the Screen Actors’ Guild. I joined up while [...]
I learned how to do a task that had intimidated me for quite a while at work today. This puts me in a pretty good humor.
We’re starting meetings next week to get Max’s school for next year sorted out. This is highly stressful. We still don’t know where he’s going to go. Almost IEP time. [...]
I need a direction and a commitment. I have my job under control. My home life isn’t under control, but the kind of control I need to find is going to have to come a little bit at a time.
I need a passion and a project. I need to be called upon to prove myself, to [...]
I waited and waited, exhausted, all week, for my day to sleep in. This morning the day was finally here. And my phone beeped loudly at 5:45 and I couldn’t get back to sleep.
