Shiloh the kitten is settling in well, Gigi the cat has stopped hissing at him, and Atticus is absolutely IN LOVE with him. He thinks Shiloh is his own little pet, and is absolutely FASCINATED by him. He can be a little creepy, though, so we’re always telling Atticus to back off! This kitten gets…

I send out an update to friends every few weeks about Gerry – since many of you have been writing and asking how he’s doing, I figured I’d make the text of the most recent email my blog entry for today. Oh, and thanks for the heads up about Banff. Silly me. Somehow I got…

My Camera is back in the picture – huzzah! And my back is out of commision – OUCH! First the bad news…As we know, I’ve been doing a lot of lifting, carrying, moving, stretching – all kinds of ‘putting the house back together’ stuff that begins to wear on a person. I used to have…

I’m a child of the 60’s – I grew up thinking it was just a matter of time until I took a stroll on the moon, and that we could do ANYTHING because we had such smart scientists in America. Today is the anniversary of Sputnik – I wasn’t around then, but the race to…

I so enjoyed my last two days (last day, actually…) teaching at Nine Rubies in San Mateo. The staff there – Jocelyn, Sudha and Saloni (in no certain order, girls, you’re ALL pretty…) were so accommodating, so kind and made me feel very much at home. The students were incredibly thoughtful and hard working. I’ve…
