At home there was no power– so during a break in the storm I went where the power was.
Some people are drawn to deserts or mountains; I feel most grounded by an ocean. And I’m not a fair weather friend.
Actually, foul weather is pretty fabulous at Carmel Beach…..
…..or where the beach usually is…..
Today the ocean [...]
A few hours ago I went through airport security for the first time since the incident of the underwear bomber (I’m not sure of his handle: the undi-bomber? underbomber? boxer bomber?)
Security was tighter than normal but I wasn’t thinking of security by the time I walked up the aisle to find my seat on the [...]
At least last year, I wrote a sweet and special Christmas post for V when he read my blog Christmas morning.
This year I didn’t even do that.
I do wish a wonderful holiday for everyone who celebrates. And I don’t mean to offend….but is a Jew allowed to say “Bah, Humbug”?
A winter storm is supposed to be heading for California. Before it hits, I took a walk today.
Daniel’s still at college in Wisconsin. Today he took a walk, too.
I’m not someone who slows down when I drive by a car accident. Only this isn’t your standard car accident.
It’s not a Toyota that got hit; it’s a Tiger. This is a billion dollar vehicle—even if it’s just dented, it’s impossible not to gawk.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From Jane Goodall and Caroline Kennedy, at the sublime end of the spectrum—-to…….
You know what? After this day, I’m feeling too warm and [...]
……to say I’m on my way to Long Beach for Maria Shriver’s annual Women’s Conference. I feel lucky to be attending; it sounds amazing. You can click here to read about it. And you can read more about it here, later this week. Right now I’m here just to say I’m not here.

Of all that I love about New York, what I love most is the theater. I won’t list what I’m seeing this trip; if you love theater too, you’ll just be jealous.
I’ll only mention one; the play I saw tonight. It’s adapted from a book I love: Love, Loss and What I Wore by [...]
You know that feeling when you feel so sick you can’t remember how it felt to feel normal and your whole head hurts like someone’s pressing on it from the inside…and you aren’t sure your neck can hold it up….and you drag yourself out of bed and look in the mirror and if your throat [...]
