Fam & Flowers
It was a surreal event; to look out at the audience as the applause is happening and there they are! My favorite people: nephews and nieces and their young adult children. It was a special moment for me. Brian & Jami, Clark & Faun, Tori, Jordan, Emma, Nathan! To see their “Aunt” on the Boards. …

Required
Twelve Years A Slave. Every person holding an American passport should be required to watch this movie and the painful history of this nation that it depicts. No one escapes.
The Blind

Their sticks, white and collapsible, indicated that both of them were blind. They rode a few blocks, and then with continued laughter …
Super-Star Mother
She watched as her adult son and daughter-in-law boarded the train in suburban CT, bound for the City. As he stepped over the gap between the platform and the train, the pants on the hanger from the cleaners slipped off their perch and disappeared into the abyss below.
