Last night, we took a break from our usual green, grain and healthy protein dinner and celebrated Super Bowl Sunday with an off-the-grid treat. We split a meatball parmigiana and a chicken parmigiana sub, and, boy, were they delicious! No – we didn’t watch the game, but we like to eat like we did! I …
As you can see from the photo above, I am enjoying what I believe to be the pleasant things in life – lounging by the fire with a good book, a cuddly dog and a smile. I am not planning on watching the Olympics or the Super Bowl, but I hope you enjoy it if …
Sometime in the past, I used this space to dream of the day when I would turn off my cellphone for good. That day arrived by surprise earlier this week. Here’s what happened… About three months ago, I noticed that my phone’s battery was requiring frequent charging, so I ordered a replacement one and the …
We have arrived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where we will be staying for the next week. The gig is our first foray into remote dog sitting, but it’s also going to be a week of self-care and music-making. We’ve brought along some instruments and we’re also in a home with a baby grand piano and a …

Our February trip to Oaxaca, Mexico has been put on hold. Due to some unforeseen medical expenses and a lighter than usual winter-spring calendar, we opted to cancel our plans to investigate Mexico as an ex-pat retirement location…for now. Instead, we are going to Lancaster, PA where we will be staying in a stranger’s home …
In the lingo of Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families, we use a few different archetypes to represent the voices in our heads. The Loving Parent is, obviously, the person we want to run the show, but for most of us it is the Critical Parent who shows up in our lives saying in …
I’ve turned a corner. After years hoping that I would uncover and feel some of the softer emotions available mostly to women, I am finally beginning to experience them myself. Yes – this lumbering lunk of man clay has begun to cry at romance novels. I came here quite by accident. After enjoying 30 or …
I’ll admit it. My main reasons for working out (strength and cardiovascular training) were more about other people than me. I wanted to look good, to receive admiring glances from the opposite sex and, never, ever be embarrassed to wear a bathing suit at the beach. I also wanted to eat what I wanted in …
If I could go back and be a kid, again, there’s one thing that I would change. I’d look at my fears and try to expand my comfort zone beyond my own narrow, limited beliefs. Literally and figuratively, I would take more swings and learn to hit the ball better as a result. Yeah. If …
