Perhaps not the earliest memory of dancing, but certainly one of the most memorable was the Halloween Dance in 1979. The music was K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Michael Jackson, Blondie, Christopher Cross, Dr. Hook, and I was there with my sisters, Judy and Nancy. I think I was dressed in a skirt, my saddle … Continue reading Halloween Dance 1979

Sweet Dreams: Daily Prompt
Dreams are a funny thing. My husband can recount his dreams with such detail, vivid color and action, it amazes me. Stories of bank robbing with Clint Eastwood, leaping tall buildings in a single bound; his dreams are usually a reflection of what we watched on television that night or what he read on Buzz … Continue reading Sweet Dreams: Daily Prompt
We Got the Beat!
Today's writing challenge: Have you ever played in a band? Tell us all about that experience of making music with friends. Technically, I've never "played" in a band, unless you count the voice as an instrument; in which case we can count singing with the jazz band in high school. I was part of a … Continue reading We Got the Beat!
The Hangover
Every Sunday or Monday morning I read on Facebook about many of my "friends" who are suffering from a hangover. It really shouldn't surprise me all that much; although frankly, it gets me a little sad. Now, I will be the first to admit to a dozen or so mornings when the drinking from the … Continue reading The Hangover

A Story of Strings
The photo challenge this week is about sharing a three-picture story. I took a look back in my archive of photos I've taken with my phone and these three stood out for me. Last Fall my husband and I went to an indoor farmer's market. It's a well-known one in Pawtucket, Rhode Island at the … Continue reading A Story of Strings
World Menopause Day…Really?!
Yesterday I wrote about a visit with my doctor. One of the biggest take-a-ways from the appointment, as I mentioned, was his declaration of why I'm not feeling like myself: "You're without a thyroid and you have likely entered menopause." He declared it with a smile on his face and so matter-of-factly, that I had … Continue reading World Menopause Day…Really?!
What’s Up Doc?!
I've thanked my endocrinologist before, but feel the need to do it again! I meet with him every four months since my complete thyroidectomy in 2011, and will probably continue to see him with great regularity for the rest of my life. Typically, I've been a compliant patient, answering the doc's questions but never really … Continue reading What’s Up Doc?!
It’s Okay to Take a Day Off
It's school vacation week and since I don't teach any more I don't have the week off. My week is just as busy and crazy as usual, maybe more so. I'm doing 3 three-hour trainings, have 2 three-hour meetings; and did I mention, this is only the second week of my new job responsibilities in … Continue reading It’s Okay to Take a Day Off
