Much ado about nothing
“And I’ll finally have time to paint the bathroom!” I exclaimed, having gone off the rails on that project months ago. “And I’ll make a campfire everyday,” I prattled on, “and I’ll spray-paint that picture frame, and finish grouting the backsplash, and then…“ more

Life-long pal Kelli fit right in with the Woodstock crowd wherever we went, including this stop at the fun-filled Bagel Festival in Monticello, NY—aka the “Bagel Capital of the World.”

The cast of “Up and Coming”: A Modern Comedy with Rustic Humor” hilariously spoofed life in the country with comedy and music in sketches like “Tale of the Big Eddy,” “Tap my Maple Tree,” and “Stairway to Heaven Assisted Living Commune.” 
Dust in the wind
I’m not naïve—I understand the “circle of life” and that all living things eventually die. It’s the fragility that troubles me; the mere notion that life as we know it can come to an abrupt halt, suddenly and without warning, niggles at me and keeps me awake at night. more
