I remember distinctly when my dad's best friend John turned 60. (I have written about him before) I cried and cried thinking that it was so old and I thought of all of the cruddy things about aging and how horrible it must be and how life was going to be over shortly!! I wove … Continue reading Aging, why did I used to cry??

That promise is a promise that I cling to with my entire being. My dad grew … Continue reading Be well Papa……
Plenty of Freaks….
I'm going to be a famous writer. I am. I just don't know how to do that yet, but it's coming. I had visions years ago of being the next Carrie Bradshaw, writing from my brownstone apartment in NYC.
