You might remember a post I wrote earlier this year entitled 2020. I hate this movie. No? Well, honestly, I don’t remember what it was about either so don’t worry. Regardless, it turns out 2020 isn’t a move after all. It seems H1 was the pilot for a very dark mini-series (one I pray doesn’t…

Little Fires Everywhere
It appears to be that time again in the pandemic, everyone seems to be on edge. It’s almost like a witching hour is upon us, if our COVID reality existed in the microcosm of one banal spring day. As I sit here writing on our deck, dawn is breaking overhead. I can hear it. But…
The Twilight Zone
I have done everything tonight except write. I went to dinner. I cleaned the living room. I scooped Steve two bowls of ice cream (after he nixed the first incredulously, insisting he dropped a hint at dinner he wanted vanilla for dessert… I know, I know, the things we do for love). I walked Hudson.…
Head in the Clouds
This morning I find myself yet again at a beach, seated with my legs crossed in the sand. I'm awaiting a 5:34 sunrise. Plagued by some first-night-of-vacation insomnia, last night’s sleep was like a silent TABATA workout. But instead of Robin yanking me from interval to interval pleather disco leggings blinding me from afar, I…
Burning (Wo)man
Typically on work calls, all of which are now via zoom or GTM (the worst), I rotate the same tried and true one liners at various stages of the meeting. During intros I'll throw in some banter when Patricia from Billing/HR mentions she wears SO many hats... "hat-aficionado/actual CEO #amiright!?" KNEE SLAPPER. JK, but these moments…
Living in Pieces, Puzzles
As I sit in the park outside my office, the Hudson river crawls slowly south. The surface is dimpled by boats and ferries pollinating various piers and marinas with people and things. The water glistens and gleams as it catches the sun, and with it memories flash into my mind. Summer sunsets spent running along…
Dugout Epiphanies
Like most of my endeavors, my thirty days of DHD was a colossal failure. I say that not in a self-deprecating way, honestly. But I'm back, at least for now. Naturally I have so much to say. And, as evidenced by what you’re about to read, I have absolutely no idea where to start. Let's…
Three’s Company
So it’s day three of this thirty day sprint during which I’ve committed to writing a post every single day. Seems like it would be a breeze, right? Aside from work, which ebbs and flows, I’ve got nowhere to go but the laundry room. But, humans (or maybe just me) are astonishing in their ability…
Snacky Snacks and Panic Attacks
Pandemic quarantine. Stay home, save lives. Shelter in place. #Alonetogether. Social distancing. Regardless of the words you’re using to describe this period in our lives, I think we can all admit things are pretty weird right now. Given we’re 48 days into this new living arrangement, I’ve had some time on my hands. Mostly I’ve…
2020. I hate this movie.
I knew I was in a dream but couldn’t find a way out. Swirling all around me TV screens were playing similar breaking events coverage on the coronavirus pandemic. But, instead of pictures showing brave healthcare workers and military hospitals being fashioned out of now-closed casinos, these images were more varied. Pictures of pollution. Deforestation.…
