I saw Jersey Boys the first time in San Francisco. There on a writing retreat, alone, I walked up one evening and got last minute tickets relinquished by family/friends. There's really no current theatre that so reflects Boomer history than the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and no . . .
This little display in a Sonoma, Calif. shop made me think of summer and those sunny, lazy days ahead of us. Even though dragonflies are kind of bizarre-looking and maybe even a little scary (you just don't want to look at them up close) their graceful flight reminds me of summer days on the East . . .
Sitting Bear, by Linda Israel The bear was my father's icon. Born of Italian immigrant parents, he was first generation American, the only one of his parents' five children to make it past the eighth grade. He became a pediatrician. Compared to my life, he lived in a much smaller . . .
Shopping today? Scouting for Black Friday sales?I'm always on the lookout for great holiday gift deals. Macy's doesn't pay me, but they should, because it's pretty much my favorite place to shop and I particularly appreciate the huge discounts they offer these days.

Curly Girl Designs-do shop with them! I do! (not a paid promo, I just love them.) I love those long, meaty discussions about life, love and the pursuit of happiness that I have with really good friends. Sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings. I love being with friends who aren't . . .
Summer is in its waning days, the end of hot, lazy afternoons, frosty pitchers of pink lemonade and bumper to bumper beach traffic. Soon, shorts and t-shirts will be put back in their drawers, we'll push our sandals and flip-flops toward the back of the closet and start moving forward . . .
Off this morning for New York City because it's that time again: BlogHer '12 starts Thursday and my extra suitcase space is just waiting for all that swag! And as usual, I'll blog some of the interesting sights during the conference.Martha Stewart and Katie Couric are keynoting, but in BlogHer . . .
I'm arriving in my hometown tonight for festivities surrounding my nephew's graduation from college.Passages like the one he's going through this weekend always remind me of my own childhood. Thoughtful and a bit of a loner, I remember riding my bicycle around the neighborhood in the summer, all by . . .
Yes, there's a giveaway buried in this post! A good one, too! "What foods these morsels be!" Love the box slogan that's been there forever. There are a few iconic things that belong only to Rochester. If you meet a Rochesterian, he or she will absolutely know what they are. Like Donuts . . .
