The Park Ranger pointed North, “Two miles up the path you will see the trail branch off up to The Waterfall. The final mile up you will notice a slight increase in difficulty.” (Slight increase was more than a slight understatement.) After a grueling hour scrambling over rocks and roots we reach the top of… Read more »

What’s for Lunch?
Walking home the first day of school, Becket stopped and slumped on the edge of the curb. “I don’t like it here.” *Oh, that sound you just heard like thunder ripping through the mountains during a summer storm? Yeah, that was my heart breaking.* As is my wont, I probed for more info. “Lunchtime is… Read more »
Deeply Moved
After several months of intense denial, several weeks of sorting, culling and packing, and several days of actually “doing the thing” – I can say, officially, that Becket and I have relocated to Millburn, New Jersey. We have spent the past two weeks settling-in and sight-seeing. We are tourists in our new town, and thoroughly… Read more »
Crazy for You
We stood on the corner of 53rd and Columbus, after a super swell summer night of inner-city rambling. “Ok, well… Night!” Ross tossed me his Leading Man grin and turned to head back to his Hell’s Kitchen apartment. “Night then.” I said through a tight “everything-is-just-fine” grin. I turned north toward my studio shoebox on… Read more »
Find Your Den of Dorks
The entire arena is filled with throbbing dance music and cheering dancing people, wearing costumes and waving streamers. The rise and fall of the chants and fight songs is reminiscent of a High School Friday football game against archrivals. However, this event is louder, more colorful, brighter, sparkly-er somehow, and pulsing with actual brilliance. This… Read more »
Naming Names
Can I ask a HUGE favor? If we are ever out together at a Swanky Function, Networking Event or Family Reunion, could you subtly ask the person with whom we are speaking, what is THEIR NAME? Thanks, I’ll buy you a drink. I embarrassingly and consistently struggle to remember names. As a Motivational Speaker, I know… Read more »

I just saw the lovely film “The Artist”, on the big screen of the beautifully renovated classic movie house in my town. (The State Theatre) No spoilers, but I can safely suggest the main theme revolved around the march of time, and deciding whether or not to get in line or be left on the curb…. Read more »
Skate: Hard Work + Dedication + Belief = Heart
Hockey just made me cry. I love this ad so much. And whilst I was born in Hockeytown USA (Go Wings) it’s not actually the Hockey that made me cry. I’m not endorsing anything here, but the Budweiser Ad-Folks just found a way to capture “Heart” on… Read more »
WTAM
I awoke this morning to a full-fledged Media Barrage… Radio stations blasting about the current situation on the other side of the world, YouTube videos of small freakishly talented children singing Italian arias, TV commercials involving shrieking clowns and small toy unicorns, and the song “It’s gonna be a Good Life!” playing over top it… Read more »
Flow with the Go
Biology Teacher. That is actually what I wrote on my college applications. Biology? Teacher? What? While I can’t even remember why I wrote that (ode to my cute high school physics teacher perhaps) it makes me smile, because I know the person who wrote that wanted to be a BIOLOGY TEACHER dammit! And she is… Read more »
