On January 4th, 2024 singer and actor David Soul passed away. My fellow baby boomers will know he was the blond detective on Starsky and Hutch. The original late 70s TV series, not the Owen Wilson remake.The late 70s and the appearance of Starsky and Hutch conveniently coincided with my high school years. The stars

Here we are seven days into the new year. Seems like 2024 just began yesterday, and here we are in 2025. I gave up on making New Year resolutions many years ago. Does anyone ever keep them, anyway? On the other hand, I do have several goals I want to achieve. I’ve had some difficulty

The last few weeks have been crazy. My book has just launched. I’m fixing glitches on my website. Getting all my ducks in a row for a book signing. And continuing to work and get started on a new book. Crazy.
Over and over I’ve thought and even said out loud, “I need a vacation.” I just want to stay at home and put puzzles together and do counted cross stitch and not have to push myself to do anything. I was exhausted. I haven’t felt well in quite a while. I just wanted to rest!
Memory is a funny thing. Think about your family sitting around the table at Thanksgiving, laughing and talking. An uncle tells a funny story. Your Mom interrupts: “That’s not how it happened.” She follows her declaration up with a retelling of the story the “right” way. Your uncle insists his version was correct. Another uncle
