That’s the question going around Rochester this week with Next to Normal finishing it’s run at GEVA and The Addams Family playing at the Auditorium Theatre. I missed the former, but saw the latter last night. Even with a minimum of special effects and over the top musical numbers, it was wonderfully entertaining. The Addams […]

I’m back to going to the gym again. I hadn’t been in almost 2 months for a lot of reasons (or excuses). I had a cold, I had a corn on the bottom of my foot, I was away, it was Christmas, etc., etc., etc. It does feels good to be in a routine again, […]

I decided to take Evan to the mall today to walk. I thought I would get some exercise and pass the time. I started to regret my decision when I had to unload both him and the stroller in the pouring rain, but I’m glad I persisted. What I got along with the exercise was a chance to […]

My grandson, Evan, loves to dance. This may not seem remarkable except that Evan does all his dancing sitting down. At just one year old, he’s not steady on his feet, but that doesn’t stop him. He doesn’t know that you’re supposed to dance with your feet. He dances with his whole body, especially his […]

I was waiting very impatiently in the drive-thru line at the bank this morning at 9:30. I couldn’t understand what was taking the guy ahead of me so long. But in an instant my perspective totally changed. I had my radio on 101.3, and I heard Tony say, “We’ll now be observing a moment of silence in […]

The math teacher in me just loves days like today when the numbers show such synchronicity. What better day is there to think about the miracle of Christmas? So today I decided to visit Sacred Heart Cathedral to look at the collection of nativity sets that are on display there. I’m not Catholic, but Sacred Heart Cathedral […]

I thought that I wouldn’t be going for anymore walks with the grandkids in the stroller this year, but every once in awhile God smiles down on us and gives us a Bonus Day. Today was such a day – sunshine, warm breeze, no snow on ground. It was a great day for taking a […]

Take one old fashioned wedding dress, Add 40 years, more or less, Pin and Cut, Stitch and press, Dress a child for God to bless.

I love to sing. I didn’t say that I have a good voice – I just like to sing. I guess I inherited this trait from my mother. One of my fondest childhood memories is of sitting with my mother on the piano bench, my brother on the other side, the three of us singing […]
