Is it just me or does world seems kind’ve off?I’m not speaking scientifically about the planet’s axis or position in the solar system, though that may be a contributing factor, but more of the way we humans and the planet we inhabit have arrived at a crisis point. Those of you who have read this …
As I write this, it’s 9:15 pm and a repairman named Michael is trying to figure out an electrical problem on our RV. It’s not a major issue like the one that stranded us last year, but even small or medium sized issues tend to multiply if left unaddressed. (Homeowners and car owners know what …
Beth and I saw Barbie. It’s unlike any movie I’ve ever seen, but I’ve missed quite a few monster hits based upon toys, comic books and video games. I guess I’m a bit of a snob. Of course, Barbie is aiming higher than bringing plastic dolls to life. There are mature men/women and other themes …
We are in Lanesborough, MA at the foot of Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires. It’s 60 degrees, windy with more cloud than sun. Accordingly, we are going to see Barbie after Beth’s yoga classes.

Thank you, RR, for a life spent making music, inspiring so many to feel, to sing and to play your songs. Your catalogue includes The Weight snd The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, both wonderful examples of easeful, …
I know how James Taylor might feel. Well, sort of. When Beth and I do an outdoor concert, we become part of a long tradition of summer entertainment. Unlike indoor programs, the outdoor shows often merge together community, nature and music – a really great combination that is even better when it’s held at a …
Today, I had two instances where my tendency to prejudge people based upon scant information proved incorrect. In the first instance, a camp administrator contacted me via text repeatedly over the last ten days asking for information already provided as well as new items to fulfill the organization’s need for proper insurance coverage and other …
