Dear Reader, There’s always such a rush of activity this time of year. I’m trying to catch up on all the things I didn’t accomplish this fall—or is it this year? My Christmas project is nearly complete, fortunately. I don’t do much ambitious cooking these days. Putting dinner on the Read more…
Dear Reader, There’s nothing like a birthday to focus us on where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what’s important. So tabling the past and the future for a moment, important is all about my relationship and my work. Add in a few close friends, and that’s about it. And Read more…
Dear Reader, As much as I hate the concept of New Year’s resolutions I still feel the need to make some plans for the future. But first, let’s take stock.

The citrus fruits were all shaved yesterday afternoon, while I listened to the podcast at thecreativepenn.com. Do check it out, if you have not already. A Read more…
