It was a terrific day yesterday as hundreds of people gathered for the naming of the Dr. Frederick M. Kalisz. Jr. Sea Lab Marine Science Education Center. A few months ago I received an email from the committee asking if I would be the emcee for the event. I was honored. Without giving it another…

A Breath Of Fresh Air
I couldn’t help myself! I did it! When I woke up this morning I opened every window in the house! The heatwave has ended! Now let me first say, I love summer. I never mean to wish it away and I’m not one of those that wait for sweater weather and pumpkin lattes. However….this year…

I was just like a lot of people yesterday— sad when I heard the news that Olivia Newton-John died. She died Monday at the age of 73. She revealed in 2018 that her cancer had spread to the base of her spine. This was her third time being diagnosed with cancer after dealing with breast…

Are You Or Were You A Cereal Lover?
This week marked the 124th anniversary of the invention of Corn Flakes. They were invented on August 8, 1898. I was never a fan or Corn Flakes but I did have a few others I enjoyed. My earliest memory of cereal is Frosted Flakes with Tony the Tiger on the box. And who doesn’t remember…

Is America Over Medicated?
I believe I’ve mentioned this before but it happened again this week: I was at a local pharmacy to pick up a prescription and I couldn’t believe all the medications I saw behind the counter waiting to be picked up! And on top of that, they couldn’t find mine because there were so many other…

Trying A New Approach This Year
Tuesday was my birthday! I was thinking about how I’ve had 61 years of blessings. A little adjustment in thinking. We seem to have a tendency to look back at all the things we’ve been through and have had to deal with throughout our years but if you stop and think: you’ve probably had some…

Have you ever been reading a good book and got near the end but you just…couldn’t…keep…your eyes open…anymore? You struggle through and FINISH it! You discover the ending! Find out who the killer was! Then realize you have nothing to read tomorrow? Now what do I do? It’s Sunday and the library is closed! ——-My…

Are You Holding On To Things You Shouldn’t?
I read a powerful quote today that really made me stop and think. Stop giving CPR to dead situations. Wow! I’ll pause so you can read that again. … I’m guilty of this. What about you? I’m not talking about getting together and talking about old times with friends, that can be a fun evening…
