I am cold! I am sitting at my desk in my office wearing my hoodie, sweats and warm socks. It’s about 59 degrees today here in sunny Florida. My friends Deb and Jeff and the kids are off on the Pirate Ship tour boat that leaves out of Clearwater beach every day. They wanted me [...] We had a wonderful brunch today that many of our friends attended. Beth made omelettes to order and we had crepes with fruit and the whipped cream I made fresh this morning. Good food, good conversations and your basic holiday cheer. It was great! … except. I threw this brunch so that my friends (now my [...] Ok! So I am completely not ready! Then I am never ready for Christmas. I have never bought presents much prior to December 15th (who am I kidding? more like the 22 0r 23) This year we are hosting a holiday brunch at our house.

It’s different now. I have no parents or grand parents. I have [...] I love my job! Creative Director of the Showcase Arts Foundation and Director of the Showcase Repertory Company – a dream come true. Last night I sat in our little theater space watching everything we have all worked for come to fruition. It has been a little more than 3 years since I started this journey [...] One Christmas, about 20 years ago, my father proudly announced that we would be having a traditional English Christmas that year, complete with fig pudding and a fattened goose. This would have come as no surprise if it were not for the fact that my father was Russian/Polish and my mother 100% Italian. So he cooked [...] I was talking to my old friend Lisa today about life, religion, discrimination and … .stuff! A light-hearted conversation – right.
