It is Wednesday and I think I need a day of R&R. I do not mean Rock ‘n Roll. This past Saturday, Yim and I attended our friends’ wedding reception. Great time had by all! We celebrated with old friends we’d not seen in a while, friends we see everyday, and new friends, too. The [...]

Last night, after a long and glorious day in the garden, Alyssa hosted another fantastic “Italian Ladies Social Club” dinner party. Alyssa is always the hostess with the mostess. She is fail-proof in choosing simple, yet simply delicious, dishes to feed the masses. Keeping to our theme of cultural heritage, she served eggplant parmigiana – [...]

Growing up, I’d seen my grandmother knit or crochet a few Afghan blankets and footies, but I didn’t learn to crochet myself until I went to boarding school and I housed with girls who would sit around making blankets when they weren’t doing chores or homework. They taught me how to crochet a granny square, [...]

Last night Yim and I saw Rodrigo y Gabriela perform at the Byham. They are extraordinary guitarists and after the show I turned to Yim and asked, “Now, what are we going to do with our guitars?” I think that Rodrigo is highly skilled in a way that is learned, while Gabriela’s relationship with the [...]

I really believe in minimalism, contrary to the amount of rubble I’ve amassed. I call it rubble because, really, you can’t take it with you, and once you’re gone, well, unless someone you know appreciates it the way you do, it becomes just another mess to clean up. I imagine land fills are heaped with [...]

Out again into the glorious snow today. Alison and I donned our winter best and braved the 20″ deep fluff. It was so good, in fact, we didn’t return home for 3 1/2 hours. Mycol worked last night and we spoke around midnight. The hotel provided him with a room for the night, along with [...]
