March 26 & 27 photos of the day
Yesterday it was so cold and windy that walking anywhere outside to take photos held no appeal whatsoever. Luckily I have an amazing subject right here at home. (Ok, I’m somewhat biased about this, I’ll admit). I took … Continue reading

March 14 & 15 photos of the day
Yesterday I met a friend of mine for breakfast. We spent a lot of the time talking about creativity; what sparks it or sustains it, whether it be in writing or photography or art. I mentioned that when I’m … Continue reading

All I wanna do…
I’ve been blogging now for 3+ years. For the bulk of that time, I posted 4-5 days a week (in the beginning I posted every day), whether here or on my unschoolingnyc blog. If you’ve been reading what I write … Continue reading

Finding the time
Some of the things I love to do, in no particular order: Knit, crochet, sew, write, read, exercise, take photos. My struggle is never against boredom, but against time. I find myself, often, putting off things like a sewing … Continue reading

Because of the heat
First I’d like to start with a big Thank You! to Willis Carrier, who invented modern air-conditioning. Honestly I don’t know how people survived NYC summers before A/C. It is just too damn hot. Because of this we must … Continue reading

I never got to meet Nora Ephron. She was not a mentor, a friend, a distant acquaintance or even someone I once saw walking down the street. I cannot in all honesty say that she influenced my writing in … Continue reading
