He’s looking at her and she’s looking at him and that might be enough, just enough, to start things into wonder.  It rolls into wonder, and she wonders some things about him, and he wonders about her, and some of the somethings are exactly the same.  There is a life of adventure behind them as [...]

To Become a Painter in Brooklyn, New York

A couple of years ago I visited my friend Robert in New York.  The great thing about visiting him is that each time I do, he lives in a different part of the city, and at that time he was living in Brooklyn.  He had a three story house that was rent controlled, and he [...]

Symphony Orchestra at UC Irvine

Many people consider getting away to Los Angeles for a weekend or longer a great opportunity for fun and some relaxation. Okay, maybe not relaxation, but definitely fun. Meanwhile, having been born and raised in Los Angeles, and still living there as an adult I recently got away for the weekend and went to Irvine [...]

Central Park is huge.  Unless one takes the time to wonder through slowly, or unless one is lucky enough to have a knowledgeable guide, there are many smaller sections of the park that may get missed.  One such section of the garden is the Shakespeare Garden, known to be one of the best spots in [...]

My boyfriend planned the most romantic adventure for us today and not only did it really surprise me, as he’s not typically a romantic acting individual, but it was also incredibly touching because I know how much attention and thought he put into the whole thing.

Okay, I’m only 21 but I think after last summer I have much of the rest of my life planned out. No one takes me seriously when I tell them this so I’m confiding it to you though I express my plans to manifest these elements in a more relaxed fashion. It all started when [...]

Somedays I just want to relax and do nothing at all; some of the best days of my life, in fact, I’ve spent doing just that, often lounging on a grassy hill or under a tree in a park.  One of the best parks in which to do that might just be located in the [...]

Four Major Sports Teams in Philadelphia

Growing up in Philadelphia I couldn’t help but be a sports fan. And when asked which is my favorite many people are surprised to hear that it’s baseball. I love baseball and am extremely passionate about the Phillies and growing up I would attend games at the Veteran’s Stadium, or now it’s the Citizen’s Bank [...]

Key Largo Matey Lost at Sea

With coral reefs, everglades, and limestone just beneath the surface, the mysteries of Key Largo are larger than what meets the eye.  This is a place that can teach one to live in the moment, because when one is living in the here and now, one is one with all of the things in the [...]

Well, sure I encouraged Paul to apply to Columbia University and thought it would be great choice for him. Meanwhile, I really only considered the quality and reputation of the theater department and the importance of his graduate degree. I really didn’t think about the reality of his life there, well and that part is [...]

A show that I watched regularly for a few months, was “CSI Miami”, and in the opening credits the airboat careens through the swamplands with Horatio standing ever so perfect, in his suit and his shades, while the Who is blasting in the background.  One of the funnest experiences I had was when I was [...]
