Let’s Hear It For the Indigo Girls!
Dear Friends, A few years ago, Tig Notaro performed an amazing comedy set called Live. She does this bit in it about that saying “God never gives you more than you can handle.” And she describes God up in heaven surrounded by a group of angels, all of whom are looking down at some poor… Continue reading Let’s Hear It For the Indigo Girls!
Ice Cream & Playgrounds
Dear Friends, In honor of the young lad who inspired this post, who once upon a time shared his love of Yellow Submarine with me, I offer a Beatles soundtrack.

At least for extended weekends when a hurricane happens to be bearing down on locales I already had plans to visit. A… Continue reading “Important Results”
Off Again, On Again… By Which I Mean Off Again
Dear Friends, Remember that time I was confused by doctors directly contradicting their previous, strongly asserted recommendations? I apologize, it has happened so often in the past year, I really should be more specific. Remember three weeks ago when the surgeon said reuniting #RightBoob with #LeftBoob was unnecessary, after she and more often the oncologist spent nine months convincing me… Continue reading Off Again, On Again… By Which I Mean Off Again
