Just a quick post to let you know that we enjoyed the wedding in Pennsylvania, especially the ceremony which was co-authored by the bride and groom and the officiant. As a guy who got married in the Catholic Church and has attended many religious weddings, it was refreshing to see something that was entirely devoted …
Since pandemic times, which sounds like I’m referring to an historical disaster (which it was), my truly talented wife has been offering online, gentle yoga classes. Recently, we decided to return to that era’s pricing structure (Pay What You Can Afford) so that more people can take her classes, connecting with their bodies and minds, …
Maryland Congressman, Jamie Raskin, speaking to a interviewer last week, was asked what he would do if Donald Trump won the presidency. “Go to work the next day,” he replied. Such is our fate. This morning, Beth has two online yoga classes. In the afternoon, we have a workshop and a concert for children about …
Not every doctor knows enough to diagnose every ailment. In fact, you may need many more opinions or have to switch to another modality to achieve a healthy outcome. Sometimes, an auto mechanic will not be able to fix your car the first time. He may need a few chances or another mechanic to get …

Over the past few years, though, I have felt some measure of “imposter syndrome” because I have gained and lost weight as a result of not taking care of myself properly. …
When Beth and I first considered writing children’s music, one of our goals was to go deep and write songs that would help children and families. During that period, we wrote “My Dad is Going Away” about divorce and “Believe in Yourself and Your Dreams” about, well, exactly what the title says. Quickly, though, we …
Today, we took a break from a myriad of work-related tasks and cruised through a part of Sullivan called Smallwood. This community has a mixture of summer and year-round residents. Accordingly, some of the homes for sale are three-season bungalows that are used as second homes or rentals. The rest are regular four-season homes. What …
My father was a salesman and like many parents then and now, he used to leave for business trips and then return home a week or two later. As a child, I remember his homecoming especially when he was away for a long trip to Japan or California. Most of the times, he brought us …
