“A Dedication to Fellow Dreamers” – May 24, 2020 This is for all of the dreamers out there… The ones who chase the rainbows And take a front-row seat as the birdies perform their daily concerto… The ones who rejoice at the birth of the seedling As its tiny green head sprouts up through […]
“The Land of Confusion” We’ve officially been at this now for over two months. Signs of normalcy are returning not only as a result of governmental executive orders, but also because of personal defiance. The collective’s mantra: We’re frustrated. We’re tired. And we’ve had enough. I see both sides to this very peculiar coin: Everyone […]
A few days ago, we experienced Florida weather here at the Jersey Shore. In a matter of mere minutes, we had showers, sun, downpour while sunny, wind, sun, hail, thunder, rain, then sun again.

The World Health Organization declared a national pandemic a month ago today. The 31 days between then and now were both the shortest […]
We are entering our fourth week of social isolation. And for the record, it is Sunday. You’d think because there’s nothing much to keep track of on my planner, it would be easier to know what day it is. Nope. It’s not. Each day passes by inexplicably fast as it magically melts into its tomorrow […]

Coronacation Chronicles – March 21, 2020
I slept until 6:45 AM this morning, although, in reality, it was 5:45 AM and the time I normally wake up. When you’re an early riser like me, March’s time change is of no consequence in the morning, although my eyelids will probably become heavy before the sun has completely gone to bed for the […]
