Just another WordPress.com site. Full speed ahead into 2012! I’m not gonna lie, 2011 was a bitch of a year. Not the worst I’ve ever had. But in the past, bad years were personally bad. 2011 was trying for, well,. Starting in February of last year it was intensely chaotic, full of upheaval and what felt like internecine war around the globe. From fights in our own communities to Arab Spring, 2011 was a series of unending gut punches followed by hardscrabble brawls. I’m excited to embark on another y...

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive January, 2012. I immediately vowed to make a series of cellos to give as Christmas gifts. If you’ve never made cello, don’t be afraid. It’s terribly easy and the results will knock your socks off and trick lucky recipients into thinking you are more talented than you really are. Well, maybe you ARE that talented (Alix, Mahogany) but I rely on such trickery to impress! Not so much. Se. E, the trick is, you want JUST the rind–no pith. The pith is the white...But tha...

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive December, 2014. Remembering Forgotten Neighbors this Holiday Season. Remember a forgotten neighbor for the holidays. Or Join me at Hough’s in Greenfield, Thursday December 11th. Something for himself as well. Last year we adopted adults who were alone.

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive September, 2014. This long post to honor my mother, 13 years after her death…. This year though, I thought I’d try to do this differently. Maybe, instead of hiding from September 24th and hoping for the best, I could embrace it. Hiding is denying, not just the terrible impact of her death, but also the wonderful and unyielding impact of her. So today, September 24th, begins for me and my family the first Season of Remembrance. But what does that mean? That she rec...

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive November, 2011. Remember a forgotten neighbor for the holidays. I’m such a sap that I am already welling up…). Last year I adopted adults who were alone. A man living at the Y asked for a winter coat and new tennis shoes and a food basket for his room so he could have snacks. When asked to be specific about what food he wanted he asked for a bag of chips and some cookies. You can make a difference in their holidays by donating a gift card to CHS. Warm, and fed, an...

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive December, 2011. What’s new pussycat? I bet you wonder where I’ve been! That’s ok. Somewhere, someone is wondering I’m sure, because I’ve been largely absent from most everywhere except work and home. Fall 2011 has been busy. And by busy I mean I’m ready to go psycho and murderously stab 2011 until it’s life blood swirls down the drain and out of sight, leaving it pale and lifeless in the bottom of a cheap motel shower…. I’m spent for 2011. If you are nuts…. Create...

Just another WordPress.com site. Archive February, 2012. If you are nuts…. So I like booze. –You are shocked, I know. And I REALLY LIKE booze that I have somehow made or improved. So the idea of making my own Vermouth intrigued me. Vermouth is something I’ve cooked with and used for Martini’s so why on earth would I want to make it? Well my favorite Christmas present, Jennifer Reese’s. Make the Bread Buy the Butter,. If so make it.”. I think we know where this is going…. As a brief aside, if you try this...
