Let’s Do It In The Road
Not literally of course. But this week, I read yet another article about things you should not do in public. Obvious stuff – like texting in a restaurant, letting your kids run wild in the grocery store, talking loudly at the movies. I agreed with everything on the list. But I thought it was a …
Lessons From The Straight And Narrow
I stopped today on a busy street to let some poor schmuck get out of his driveway. A whole bunch of memories drove off with him. When I was a little kid, I lived in a three-family house. My Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Bo and their three kids lived on the first floor. We – …
I’ve Changed My Mind
About eight years ago, my husband and I moved to the country. Okay, not “country’ country. We’re one mile from the highway. But it’s a very second-rate highway. And there’s a sheep farm down the road. And watching those sheep, and driving around our little patch of rural Connecticut, I have been overcome with desire. …
Back To School

Our houseguests’ daughter was getting married …

There’s A Hole in my Bucket (List)
Famous People I have met: 1. Helen Hayes, 1981 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Famous People I almost met: Several years ago, when my husband and I were house-hunting, we looked at a little house in Litchfield Connecticut. it was an eyebrow colonial – isn’t that an adorable term? I think …
